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.

Isn't it odd that the MAGA cult members no longer post Bill Ackman quotes everyday?

How it started:
"I am endorsing Donald Trump. The Trump administration will be the most pro-growth administration of my adult life!" ~Bill Ackman

How it's going:
"Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe.
The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers
who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for." ~Bill Ackman

"When markets crash, new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers." ~Bill Ackman

"Business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with
the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate." ~Bill Ackman

"To state the obvious, it does not help our country’s and our president’s negotiating position to be trying to strike deals while our market is collapsing.
Whoever is recommending that idea to President should be fired now." ~Bill Ackman

"This is not what we voted for...we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down." ~Bill Ackman
