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.

Well, ms Machado knows who to genuflect for. She's a wise middle manager in the corporation.

Yes, she's doing her best to be the best brown noser in the department. But she has already been thrown under the bus.

- report to someone else higher up on the org chart.

Anyone else notice a familiar ring, when the Pirate King was talking, yesterday, about how he wants the US to be surrounded by "good neighbors"?

Question 00:47:48-00:47:54 (6 sec) Mr. President, why is running a country in South America Ame- -- America first?

Donald Trump 00:47:54-00:48:22 (27 sec) Well, I think it is because we wanna surround ourself with good neighbors. We wanna surround ourself with stability. Uh, we wanna surround ourself with energy. We have tremendous energy in that country. It's very important that we protect it. We need that for ourselves. We need that for the world, and we wanna make sure we can protect it.

Does that "good neighbors" sound like Israel's excuse for occupying Gaza, and southern Lebanon, and southern Syria, and expanding settlements in the west bank?
