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.

Indeed.

Club 401K and their precious "S and P 500 returns" and their 'dividends'.....are slowly having to cough up some money and they are learning that merely shouting platitudes like "$15 an hour!" doesn't cut it

Starbucks Corporate has been the target of workers sick of bad college campus bred managers, bullying, and all sorts of fun stuff and SOME chose to form a union. Liberals know unions right? Unions are kind of like Black Americans on the Left: You give lip service to get the money and the vote, but you really don't care in the end.

Anyhow here's to yet more efforts for workers to get fairness.

apnews.com - Starbucks strike red cup day

"Thousands of Starbucks workers go on a one-day strike on one of the chain’s busiest days of year"

Pssst....one thing the union got - and non union stores followed suit was more tipping options. Club 401K loves tipping don't they :)

Yet another post, no personal attack on any board member, and with sacred God produced "link" also.

BTW the out of touch and elite wannabe snobs have been shouting "$15 an hour!" for years. Ummmmmm don't you think with Dem-Flation you should change that to $17. 17.50. 18? Oh wait, that doesn't fit the meme, that means reality.

Can't have that.
