The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

That would be OK, if there was a central database for citizens, and documentation was available to citizens free of charge.

Throw in biometrically secure and I'm totally cool with that.

WHAT!!! Burden the "JCs"?

Yep!

There is a wide variation in the concentration of immigrants among states. Some 21% of the population of Florida, and 17% of the population of Texas are non-citizens. Census totals are used for allocation of Federal funding, so Florida and Texas would be among those shortchanged.

Don't care :)

Use the "pay-go" rule that worked in the late 90s. The rule required every tax cut be paid for with an explicit revenue increase or spending cut somewhere. Every spending increase is tied to a specific revenue increase or spending cut to cover the cost.

I'm fine with that, too. Unchecked federal spending leads to inflation and massive debt service, neither of which are things we want to fool with.
