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.

DoperstanThe root issue here is that you guys really do believe that this bill was a great thing, don't you?

Flimsy and inexcusable lie. The truth is that we, along with RWers here had to go through an education provided by Albaby to understand the bill and why it was the way it was. This education went all the way back to the Geneva Convention of 1954-1(?). And we understood that we meet back again in three years for a reckoning and a redo of parts. It was sobering and difficult.

In the middle of it the right started criticizing it for only shutdown power for 6 months, then shorter periods, allowable limits, etc. I adjusted. The world doesn't have to adjust to me, I have to adjust to the world or I'm not doing my job. I finally decide we were going to have to come to a different understanding or renegotiate the Geneva Convention. We simply can't accommodate all refugees and we need cooperation among countries, airlines, etc.

That was our best chance in ages and no matter how insistent MAGA is, they killed it and we need them to turn around and tell their people to deal.
