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.

BMHDid you notice why they were not supporting Biden or was non support all you need to dismiss the autoworkers as serious stupid?

For some reason, they are concerned that Biden's lust for EV's will result in their jobs disappearing. One of those interviewed mentioned that two engine manufacturing plants have already been shuttered costing 7,000 jobs. They can't all become web developers or TikTok influencers.


Biden's travel to the election battleground state was intended as a celebration after the United Auto Workers (UAW) union recently endorsed his reelection bid.

Biden visited a UAW union hall in Warren, Michigan, where UAW members plan to work a phone bank on his behalf ahead of the state's Feb. 27 nominating contest.

He was greeted by UAW President Shawn Fain, who last week gave a full-throated endorsement of the Democratic incumbent and a sharp rebuke of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.

As the crowd chanted, "Joe, Joe," Fain promised Biden, "We're going to fight like hell" for him to win the November presidential election.

"Wall Street didn't build the middle class. Labor built the middle class, and the middle class built the country," Biden said. "When labor does well, everybody does well."

He later joked: "Besides, you built my '67 Corvette."

We'll see if it translates into votes, but it usually does.
