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.

Spring break airport chaos with travelers waiting hours at security as unpaid TSA agents stop showing up for work
businessinsider.com - Airport security wait times tsa agent shortage government shutdown dhs

Thousands of travelers in the US are getting stuck in security lines that are taking up to 3 hours, as the ongoing partial government shutdown causes staff shortages at the Transportation Security Administration.
"SPRING BREAK UNDER SIEGE," the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the TSA, said in an X post on Sunday, blaming the staffing shortages on the Democratic Party.
"The Democrats' DHS shutdown has led to HOURS long security lines at airports across the country, leading Americans to miss their spring break flights," it said.<i/>

Do we expect the Dems to cave, again?
