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.

But they will be celebrated by the Red Hats as if it were some miraculous change that is entirely due to His Orangeness taking office.

It may be true it will be the same number - so as not to disturb the economy. I wouldn't put anything past Steve Miller though. If we are thinking actual "no change", how significant do the changes in people coming in ( no matter the status) have to be for us to think it's different? I would think incoming reduced 40%, deportees up 35%, criminal deportations up 40%. Companies will be intimidated to keep prices low.

Retributions? 2 or more will be significant. There will be more fake ones, where someone goofs and it's billed as a retribution.

Firings? A lot. One small department may get gutted - and hailed as a major milestone.

And it will be chaos - no smooth sailing. We'll feel it, and the economy may too.
