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.

"Absolutely. It is largely responsible for the inflation for which Biden is taking the blame"

People need to think long and hard about handing over the Country to trump's "leadership".
He has gone bankrupt 6 times ( I think ). He bankrupted 3 casinos. Wrap our collective heads around that, in a business in which "the house always wins", trump went bankrupt 3 times.
That takes a special kind of "genius".

I truly want at least 2 somewhat rational political parties in America.
But MAGA has to be voted out.

Bloomberg fact check of trump at Chicago:
msn.com - Trump s interview remarks on economic policy fact checked

"Trump said the tariffs his administration imposed on imports brought in “hundreds of billions of dollars just from China alone.” But China isn’t paying. Importers are responsible for the duties, and ultimately US businesses and consumers pay through higher costs."

"One academic study in 2019 concluded that consumers and US companies were paying most of the costs of Trump’s tariffs, and that after factoring in the retaliation by other countries, the main victims of Trump’s trade wars had been farmers and blue-collar workers in areas that supported Trump in 2016."

"A Bloomberg Economics analysis earlier this year found that Trump’s vow to impose 60% tariffs on imports from China and 10% duties on those from the rest of the world would likely send inflation above the Federal Reserve’s target and pressure the central bank to raise interest rates. Just before Trump took the stage, Bloomberg News reported that the European Union has prepared a list of American goods it could target with tariffs if Trump follows through on his threat to hit the bloc with punitive trade measures."
