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 see that you are still as clueless as you have always been"

You realize that being called clueless by George Costanza is really a compliment, right?

Remember do the opposite if your instincts are almost always wrong.

You post a list of assertions that were wrong on an actual basis and a relative basis if a person even had just a basic understanding of the context surrounding your assertions. Then you call someone else clueless. Unintentional irony is always hilarious.

Here is the thing though, even though your unintentional irony makes it quite easy and fun to laugh at you, the way you are being so ironic is serious business. Whatever your reason for continuing to use sources of information that take advantage of you and make you look foolish, just know that it is hurting the very institutions that made this country great. Democracy, rule of law, basic common sense. You choose to throw those all away and are willing to look like a fool in support of a con man that doesn't give a rats patootie about you and is only using you for your money/vote/adoration.

Democracy requires a well-informed populace. Do your part better. You are letting the rest of the country down.
