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.

They are a bit terse. One could interpret it as mean or rude but I dont think so. Maybe it is a cultural thing.


I've spent a few days nicely tweaking a few of them in their equivalent of boards like this.


A few them seem very receptive.


I like writing how anything from their pensions, wages, immigration issues....all of it seems to stem from "The Banking Cartel" and "Wall Street". The Banking Cartel controls the interest rates, and charges the fees. the Banking Cartel decides who gets a mortgage or a business loan, and who doesn't. The Banking Cartel wants to charge us fees, to buy equities in companies that had nothing to do with the Banking Cartel.

I speak about how certain industries seem to have overt price fixing with high margins, whether I want to buy my girl a ring, or buy insurance for my house.

And how it seems so difficult for people outside the cabal, to gain a foothold in said industries.

It's only been a week but I've noticed a few replies and organic conversation.

Let's just say these guys are very blunt in their replies. lol.

Think Blue, Talk Progressive. Hail the Squad, AOC, and Reverend Wright. Here's to the Ivy League Campuses. And damn those Conservatives who have spoken out and warned about them for years.

I only have done 3 posts. Will trickle slowly and build a persona.

But I'll water the tree every few days, nothing boisterous, but with the same persistent themes and word tracks.

BTW on TMF I had loudly admonished the Left for using "NeoCon" in a way I felt was----not helpful.

I hereby am sorry for that. The Left, was right.
