The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Yes, it is depressing.

The little town I live in is about evenly divided between right and left. But the Trumper/MAGA crowd shows no sign of any regret for their support of the destruction of American political values. They celebrate it.

Unless the trend is reversed, I see our country becoming much more like Putin's Russia, a kleptocratic autocracy with all power and wealth in the hands of a corrupt leader and his equally corrupt oligarch supporters. It is quite clear that that is the model Trump admires and desires to emulate.

WTF has happened to our country?
