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.

I live in Trump country as well- rural Michigan, just north of the Ohio line. The precinct I live in went over 60% for Trump in the last election.

But the Trump signs in the neighborhood are all gone. They’re primarily corn and soybean farmers getting screwed by Trump.

Here in Michigan, the inroads Trump made in the last election are beginning to crack.

Those Dearborn voters who went for Trump because of their disagreement with Biden about Gaza? They’re not feeling the love anymore as Trump wants to ethnically clense Gaza and turn it int a Trump resort.

The autoworkers are about to get crushed as that integrated CANADA/USA/MEXICO car manufacturing becomes dis-integrated and parts used in manufacturing cross the border one, two, three times with a tariff slapped on each time they cross the border, while Trump warns Detroit not to increase the price of their cars.

Canadian tourists?? Bye bye.


And the farmers who live around me suffering through the cancellation of USAID contracts to feed hungry children?

There are going to be several protests held around Michigan on April 5th. (Nationwide as well) My wife and I will be attending the one held in the reddest area of SE Michigan- in Adrian, the county seat of Lenawee County.

Trump Country.

Will be interesting to see who shows up.
