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.

Actually, King Trump may have a valid point.

If you look at the major races, Spanberger in VA and Sherill in NJ are basically the same candidate as Kamala Harris. Post menopausal privileged professional women who can't articulate what they stand for as soon as they go off script.

Other than the whole radical Islamisist thing, Mamdami is much the same as mayor of NYC.

Other than his gender, he's a highly privileged woke Nepo Baby who has never really accomplished anything and who hasn't provided a realistic platform for improving the lives of his constituents.

All come from "big government" jurisdictions, beholden to teachers and public employees unions.

All have no solutions other than raising taxes on the "rich."

Given the very high levels of taxation in all 3 jurisdictions, raising taxes even more--even if supposedly directed just to the wealthy--is not a viable strategy.
