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.

"So if Albaby thinks the nomination for Treasury Secretary signals that Trump is aware and doesn't want to tank the economy, I pay attention."

read Lucky Loser, and you might have a different thought on what Trump might do.

Trump was a horrible businessman. He acted solely on his "gut" instinct. He took insanely
risky positions, did not analyze what the market for his casino's and properties would support.
Trump purchased land for golf course developments without even bothering to check on zoning laws,
or environmental restrictions. He just did STUPID, RASH stuff.

Trump was bailed out time and time again by Big Daddy Fred Trump, and in illegal ways.
Trump, per his IRS tax returns, had losses of over $1.1 BILLION over a decade. Trump does not
care 1 bit about the law, personal responsibility, or consequences. He has skated away
from all of his law breaking. Everything that's happened has just reinforced the thought
that he is above the law of the land. He HAS been above the law, his whole life.
None of this sounds like a guy who will show any reasoned thought and restraint during his
"reign" as President.

I know there are high hopes that the checks and balances of our system will hold the line
against him. We shall see, as Trump is going to test the hell out of those checks and balances.
