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.

"Just in time for RFK to take over - he'll remake our health care culture"

We are almost certainly going to be collectively invoking " thoughts and prayers ", in place
of actual medical remedies. I can hear the fighting and idiotic calls for not
trusting the trained medical scientists and doctors already, and the call to place our fate
in the leadership of RFK jr, who as far as I know has only youtube-viewing expertise in medicine.

I remember that the GOP invoked the " are you better off now than 4 years ago " question
leading up to the November election. And a significant # of Americans couldn't remember
back to 2020 and the utter ineptitude with which Trump handled the Covid pandemic.
Can we drink bleach to kill the virus ?
Can we shoot a powerful light into the body to kill the virus ?
Take a medicine that kills parasites, that will take care of a virus.

I will be ignoring any advice coming from the mouth of RFK jr, and Trump.

Pity us all if another crisis hits under Trump. But we don't deserve any pity, we
( collective we ) brought this on ourselves.
