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.

"In announcing the takeover of DC, Trump was talking about clearing out the criminals and illegals, and cleaning out the places they live.

And we're getting rid of the slums, too. We have slums here, we're getting rid of them. I know it's not politically correct. You'll say, "Oh, so terrible." No, we're getting rid of the slums where they live."

And who determines the cut line, between a slum and just a lower-class neighborhood ?

And if Trump has the NG bulldoze the slum, where do the residents go to live ?

The macro impacts of just razing a neighborhood based on Trump's opinion that it
is a slum is staggering. There already is a lack of low income housing in America.
Trump wants to make it worse ?

As with all things Trump, this is not well thought out. His dazed and confused and angry
ravings are going to hit the American taxpayer right in the wallet, assuming no TACO.
