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.

A little older and a little wiser. I like it.

In some ways, this is the process most politicians go through.
They enter the arena, and then, slowly but sometimes quickly, they are captured in whole or in part by the very forces they once railed against.

This gives us a cadre of older but wiser politicians.

At the same time, the pipeline for continually refreshing the back bench of fire breathing neophytes must be preserved.....

And it argues for term limits. At some point, the old guard becomes just that- an old guard interested only in its own fiefdoms and condemned to doing only what their major donors want them to do.

Somewhere there's a sweet spot in there........

And then there's Bernie.....
