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.

Most consequences that politicians describe, after the event, as "unintended" are readily predictable in advance. This situation appears to me, from outside the US, as once such. This begs the question, why.


Collapsing the economy opens up huge opportunities for looting by people with a lot of cash.

And it throws a bone to a wildly misinformed group of people who have been indoctrinated for decades into believing that "illegals" are raping, looting, and murdering their way across the borders and through America. I expect they'll move on to "deviants" being responsible for their woes after the "illegals" are sufficiently suppressed yet things don't get better for them.
