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.

LOL - Conservatives --- sexy little virgina dressed in white, waiting for their turn to be sacrificed by the Israelis.

Papa Bush and James Baker yapped about settlements. Interests just happened to stay too high too long -- Papa gone.

All was well for Dubya. Absorbed the 9-11 attack as a result of the previous Gulf War and American bases in Saudi Arabia. Led the country rather well after it.

Had 60% plus approval ratings, got big agenda items done.

Then - NeoCon Iraq adventure.

Enter Barack Obama.

Now Trump.

Was doing ok. Got some of his agenda passed.

Then Came the NeoCon Iran adventure.

$ gass and 3.8 inflation.

Funny part is - even if Iran never happened, you people would have 3% inflation (lol as someone used to say, 2% is so over) and now......here's the fun part. You need to hike interest rates AND OR pray for AI to destroy middle class and hopefully upper middle class jobs to be a deflationary force.

So which do you want? Higher rates and shove it further inside the lready stagnant housing market? Make it even harder for already Tribal Silo-dwelling Americans to explore or relocate? OR pray for job losses to get inflation down.

Tee hee.
