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.

This is a sea change in how the Executive is run. It fundamentally restructures the direction that the administrative state looks to for making decisions, away from looking at both Congress and the President and just to looking at the President.

I think we've all been coming to grips with this. I read the discussion you were having about FDR and thinking. FDR was "A switch in time saves nine," with the USSC. Trump hasn't gone far enough to get the huge pushback(s), and the USSC is so far ineffective on doing reasonable limitations, and it mostly appears as if the conservative justices don't really want to. Trump doesn't have plenary power, but I see nothing standing in his way. There will always be a different approach that will allow him to get what he wants. Show me a limit. I don't see any.

I mean how do you hem this in? Haven't we been semi counting on inflation to hit, the dollar to drop, employment to rise, but we are now coming to the conclusion the tariff hit hasn't had a big hit on the economy so far. The dollar has dropped 10%, and there are squeezes out there, but nothing seems to derail his shows "ICE, IMMIGRANTS, and ANTIFA" I don't think it's too bad yet either.

Even if Trump leaves, there is now a known pathway for a ruthless intelligent person to take the same path and be even smarter about it.
