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.

Fox "News" would never stop talking about it if Orange Jesus was in office. There would literally be 24-hour coverage:

- 216,000 new jobs in December, exceeding expectations (Dark Brandon has created 14.3 million total jobs since taking office, the best jobs creation for the first 36 months in office in modern U.S. history)

- 3.7% unemployment rate

- Annual wage growth at nearly 5%

“The December [jobs report] resulted in a net increase of 216,000 in job creation, bringing to a close an extraordinary year in job creation,” Joe Brusuelas, RSM US principal and chief economist, wrote in a note issued Friday. “During the past year unemployment averaged 3.6% and closed the year at 3.7% in what the best year for labor since was the 1950s.”

In January of last year, the unemployment rate fell to 3.4%, hitting a level not seen since May 1969, two months before Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon.

In April 2023, the unemployment rate for Black workers hit a record low of 4.7%.
And then in June, the labor force participation rate for women in their prime working age (25-54 years old) hit an all-time high of 77.8%.


If these numbers were attained by Orange Jesus, the cult would want to do away with the presidency and anoint him Emperor for Life.

But hey, vote for the self-described genius who lost 2.8 million jobs in four years, the worst jobs record since the Great Depression.
