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 said lHow about we call it “biological material” until we know what the deal is.”

You can call it “pets” or “ginger root if you want.

I’m going to call it “biological material”, because that is what the government is calling it, and I have no reason to doubt that it is exactly that- biological material.


And you're free to do that.
Logic tells us that there's no good reason for importing (illegally) things that cause $170B in crop damage a year.

Until then, we really know nothing more than several grad students (Chinese?)at UMich are accused of illegally bringing “biological material” into the country.

And this is another version of the semantics thing. You're free to adopt this position if you choose.
