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.

First of all, Happy New Year.

But it's also just another day.

Made some purchases this morning on Treasury Direct and saw a thin black banner at the top left, that reads, "An official website of the United States government Here’s how you know," Click on the link there and it tells you about the usual locked symbol and https assurances.

But, on the right side of the banner is another link, "U.S. Department of Treasury," which links to the official U.S. Treasury Website. The topmost banner there reads, "President Donald J. Trump has signed a Continuing Resolution through January 30th. Thanks to the President’s decisive leadership in the face of radical left-wing obstructionism, the Department of the Treasury has now resumed normal operations."

This would be laughable except that it's political MAGA propaganda on an official government website! Is that even legal?

May we all stay free and connected to the things that are true and productive for the greatest good and peace.
Hopefully, sometime in the not too distant future we will again be able to go to government websites that are free of personality cults and insults.
