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.

By your logic, you need to find a larger segment of the population to target.

The larger segment is Proles in general. The unions know what is happening. Most people have been brainwashed that unions are nothing but gangsters who steal from their members, so ignore everything unions say. The fights for safer working conditions, better pay, and pensions, have pretty well passed from living memory. The vast majority of Proles have no idea what their working lives would be like, if everything unions fought for was washed away. No-one else is talking about the impact of the Labor Dept being gutted. For several years, I have been saying that the entire body of US labor law was on pretty shaky ground, Constitutionally. The Proles may find out how shaky within the next couple years.
