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.

that retroactively lowers tariffs on beef, tomatoes, coffee and bananas, among other agricultural imports, backdated to Thursday.

Thing is, there *are* domestic producers of beef and tomatoes. The beef producers were already in an uproar over "his" proposal to bring in a lot of beef from Argentina, to drive prices down.

Do the Swiss export anything to the US that is not a "luxury" good? I bought a Swiss made Omega watch, in the 70s, but, when the price of an overhaul was several multiples of the price of a new, equally accurate, quartz movement, Timex, the Omega went on eBay.
