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.

Of course, the Establishment types and Google jockeys and Campus Bubble people didn't care.

After all back then, no links! And even now we can criticize the source as a means to dodge the issue.

BUT - as usual - -some moron on TMF - years ago was warning how Glib Globalism and free trade without regards to the displaced, traditional cultural norms being broken, and multiculturalism run amok would lead to MAGA-LIKE movements rising up all over the Western World not always winning - but reaching enough critical mass to gum up the works, blame the incumbents - while they themselves aren't in charge and are without responsibility to govern.

Of course, Glib Google Links explained away trade and multiculturalism - for the REAL WORLD, outside the bubble trends didn't count. Well.....

theguardian.com - Anti european populists on track for big gains in EU elections says report

"Anti-European’ populists on track for big gains in EU elections, says report"

LOL.... I know, I know. An essay. A symposium. A link. A brief. It'll explain it all away.

Sort of like it was dismissive of the Buchanans and Perotistas - which eventually became Trumpers. Or BREXIT despite Obama Bullying. Or Le Pen in France. Or Maduro. Or Modi. Or Fellatio, Felloni, whatever the cute Italian chick's name is.

Keep ignoring it.

Keep up the bubble thinking.

I hereby declare the earth 1 degree warmer.

:) Haha
