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.

Mad King Donald, a felon guilty of filing false business documents, has nominated EJ Antoni, chief economist of the conservative Heritage Foundation, to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Antoni has never worked in statistics collection and received his PhD just five years ago. He's only ever written one economics paper -- his dissertation (which has exactly one citation, by a non-academic, non-peer reviewed publication).

His singular qualification is that he works in ultra-conservative think tanks and believes and parrots Mad King Donald's conspiracies about the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Erika McEntarfer, who was fired by Mad King Donald earned her PhD in 2002, has 47 publications to her name which have 1,327 citations.

One thing is certain, though: the next jobs report is going to be bigly HUGE.

Oh, and Donald Trump is a pedo. Release the Epstein files.
