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.

"Second person: retired woman. She only got $23/month from SNAP. Now, she says she will compensate by shopping sales."

$23 per months ??? That doesn't amount to 1/1,000,000 on what Trump soaks
the taxpayer for on golf, on a monthly basis.

There is a local Christian Thrift/Charity shop that put out an alert that their
shelves have gone bare, with the MAGA SNAP cutoff looming. I went to
the local Meijer and filled up a small grocery cart with canned and dried goods
and dropped them off there. I admit to having mixed feelings about doing that.
The Thrift/Charity shop is out in the country a bit, and that is MAGA land.
Not saying everybody out there is MAGA, but I'd bet that MAGA is in the
majority. I'm not feeling real charitable toward MAGA at this point in time.
But I also do not want anyone going hungry. The older ladies working the store
were definitely not giving off arrogant MAGA vibes, which gave me a good feeling.

With winter coming on, I'll be dropping off some good winter gear I no longer use
to the Shop, the lady said there is a need for that in the area.
