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.

LurkerMom: Do you or have you ever belong to a Union?

In fact, two: UFCW and USW.

LurkerMom: Because the Union bosses voted for Biden in 2020 (for perks) doesn’t mean they will vote for him 2024. After the most horrible four years under OldJoe, who do you think the rank and file union members will vote for? Not OldJoe.

Yeah, terrible years. Over 14 million jobs created, including about 800,000 manufacturing jobs. A record stretch of unemployment under 4.0%, and GDP growth numbers that Trump promised but never achieved. Republicans are lining up to take credit for new roads, bridges, and broadband in their communities that they voted against.

Biden even got a bi-partisan border deal that the Border Patrol Union endorsed and republicans killed for Orange Jesus without even looking at it.

And wasn't it president Biden who walked on the union picket line while Trump paid a non-union plant to pretend to have union workers?

Now if Biden could get oil companies and food companies to stop price gouging and bring down the price of gasoline and food on store shelves, Biden would win in a cake walk over a hate-filled, Hitler-quoting, top secret documents stealing, insurrection inciting, fake electoral vote peddling, defaming and defrauding incoherent rapist.

But to paraphrase my father: you can't fix cult stupid.
