The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

It's nomination confirmation time! It'll be interesting to see how serious the Senate takes their confirmation responsibility. There are a lot of whack-jobs. Here's a snippet from Warrens letter to Hegseth -

"I have serious concerns about your qualifications to serve in this role given your past history,
including mismanagement of two non-profit organizations you ran, accusations of sexual assault
and drinking problems, your blatant disregard for the contributions of female servicemembers,
support for war crimes and torture, threats to politicize the military, advocating for ‘war’ against
political enemies, threats to undermine DoD readiness and diversity, and contempt for veterans
receiving benefits they earned."
