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.

Of LOOTP intolerance.

To PA Intolerance.

You racked up more trillions in debt.

Your society got more tribal.

Violence, is more normal than ever.

Global warming - worse. (Climate Change as you now like to call it)

Constitutional Rights more watered down.

Educational standards, declining.

Supreme Court - John Roberts, appointed by George W Bush is now your swing vote (lol)

Roe v Wade....

Fist bumps for Saudi Arabia.

Deals between Iran and Saudi - brokered by China.

You secretly love the military industrial complex, despite your fake Liberal leanings - and now you and the Western world are in a decade long military spending increase. And to what end.

So whine about me personally. Didn't work out on PA did it.

The status quo - I'll continue to celebrate.

The fun is only starting.

You sold out your backpack, brown rice, and peace songs - and Goldman Sachs became your John Lennon. It's ok, you grew up and became the man.

In the end, even your mighty Dow Jones Industrial Average won't help.

Be thankful for your vast defense arsenal and fossil fuels.

Those are the 2 things slowing down the fun ;)
