The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I agree with Trump on this.

I would add:

The difference between Donald Trump & Gavin Newsom is Trump looks around everyday and tries to fix things. You may not agree with his thought process or solutions but he is always trying to make change where he sees the potential for improvement. Gavin Newsom has been in office forever and fixes nothing. I have never heard him suggest a plan to fix anything important in California. Just more of the same. His only solution to everything is more taxes.

By the way. What has happened in America to our freeways. Why do we have a pay express lane? Not just a CA issue? Why should I have to pay extra to drive on a road that my tax payments already funded and built. Because some consultant convinced many cities that they can generate revenue from charging their citizens to use a lane they already paid for to prop up government salaries and pensions. Why don't politicians care about their constitutes? I would add that I would bet that only a small portion of the revenue goes to the government and most it lands in the lap of the consultants that sold them the system and the company that manages it.
