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.

Making Americans Poor Again...

Trump Revoked A Minimum Wage Hike for companies that contract with the government...
"Donald Trump rescinded an executive order issued by President Joe Biden that had raised the minimum wage for federal contract workers to $17.75 per hour.
This change, enacted through an executive order on March 14, 2025, lowers the minimum wage for federal contractors back to $13.30 per hour,
which was originally set under an Obama-era executive order."
An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts.
Trump will use that money to give tax cuts to the wealthy ruling class.

Champion of the Working Class, right folks?
