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.

Free speech? Only if "his nibs" likes what you say.

Freedom of assembly? With the Brown Shirts looking over your shoulder.

Religion? A decree was circulated, some weeks ago, permitting proselyting in government offices, including by people's bosses, dressed up as "religious liberty".

His nibs has appointed a commission to study forcing "religious liberty" on the rest of us. A bit of background on the members of the commission in this piece.

Opinion: It’s Not Just Free Speech. The Trump Administration Is Coming for Religious Freedoms

Per an executive order signed by Trump back in May, the Religious Liberty Commission is tasked with producing a report on the state of religious liberty in the United States, and providing executive and legislative policy recommendations to the federal government on how to protect it.

For those who missed it, here's an article about the directive, from OPM, promoting proselytizing in the workplace.

Prayer, proselytizing by employees now allowed in federal offices

A U.S. Office of Personnel Management memo says workers, including supervisors, can engage in "private religious expression" at work. That expression could be a polite discussion with a co-worker while on a break about "why his faith is correct and why the non-adherent should rethink his religious beliefs," according to the memo, which was issued by OPM Director Scott Kupor.
