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.

I will admit to that. I have learned a lot about the nuances and why things are the way they are from reading this and other threads on this forum. So, I thank you for that. But it seems insane that a country with our strengths and resources cannot control it's borders. We are the mercy of infinite immigrants from around the world in whatever numbers they choose to arrive in and all we an do is build more processing capability. It doesn't have to be this way. It can't be this way because.... math.

I don't grant them this.
Al has provided valuable insights into the law, but has been very rigid when it comes to understanding 1) the stakes involved 2) the motivation of the people coming to do us harm and 3) in assuming there's zero that can be done. There is plenty that can be done; there are a lot of moving pieces here in play that we could do.

Here's another one. Drug screen the persons and possessions of everyone coming in. While that happens they can sit in Mexico and become Lopez Obrador's problem.
