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 don't hear them saying much if anything about the Billions of taxpayer dollars that a program to house the homeless in California has sent to money heaven

I object to your characterization of what happens to funds that are supposed to alleviate 'the homeless problem.' Homelessness is a huge problem and it's going to get huger as homelessness grows due to the well-known reasons (AI, DOGE, COL increases, medical/insurance crises, etc).

Homelessness in California, contrary to what some reports claim, is a national problem. Reports categorize anybody who has been housed in CA for a few years as 'californian', even if that person has lived most of their life elsewhere. They are now the problem of 'the land of milk and honey.'

A guy stood up at a congressman's town hall (Mike Levin) and said 'we need to build the wall... on our EASTERN border.' He got a big round of applause from the packed house. It's hard to fault a homeless person for fleeing hostile red states. Unlike Hawaii, putting them on planes back to Oklahoma doesn't keep them from getting on the next bus back to the beach.
