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 wonder when we'll have one as a world.

The Ruling Class takes the stage.

"Dear citizens, aka sheep. What many of you known is now impossible to keep secret, even from you lemmings. We aren't alone in the universe. A few of us up here have known this, but we pretended that it was to prevent panic as to why we kept it from you.

The truth is, if the news came out, the few levers we have to control you - organized religion, and government - miiiiiight cease to be, in your eyes, the supreme power that you should adhere to. So ummm yeah, whether your deity tells you to wear certain clothes or not do certain things, or the mighty IRS uses collection methods we don't allow credit card companies to have, or you are 18 and wondering why we're girding to send you to die one day because of "Putin!" or the latest brown person wearing a turban ju jour but we won't let you order a beer.....we all have to deal with the fact that there was a 50% bull-feces factor to all of it

Thank you, and God Bless America - whatever either of those entities mean anymore."

"For you who are paid subscribers - because every bloody thing these days has just gotta be a subscription because you check-to-check-yum-yums love being stressed and on meds......we have additional advice: Eat some junk food, proposition random women, because hey, the universe might have gotten wise to us, and decided they might be better off without us".
