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.

US CPI: the trend is not your friend. On a three-month annualized basis inflation is up 8.2% and is up 5.6% on a 6-month annualized pace.

Over the past year energy prices were up 23.5%, energy commodities 40.6% and gasoline prices 40.6%.

Ouch...
"Americans are growing increasingly pessimistic about the economy, blame President Trump, and are reeling from high prices, according to four polls released in the past week."

"Most voters blame Trump for the economy. Fox News found that by a 2-to-1 margin, voters said Trump’s policies were hurting (56%) rather than helping (28%) the economy."

"Most voters said higher prices are a major problem for them. The Fox poll found large shares of voters saying that grocery prices (62%), gas prices (60%), healthcare costs (55%)
and housing costs (52%) were major problems for their families."
