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.

I quibble with Pavlovitz calling this "the beautiful mess". Beautiful it ain't.

And one more thing he didn't mention: grocery prices aren't going to come down after all - Trump is already making excuses:

msn.com - Trump says bringing down grocery prices is very hard after vowing to cut costs on the campaign trail

With just over a month until his return to the White House, President-elect Donald Trump said in a new interview it's "very hard" to bring down the cost of groceries for American families, raising questions about one of his key 2024 campaign promises.

In an interview with Time Magazine for its Person of the Year spread, the 78 year old was asked whether he would consider his presidency a failure if costs don't come down for consumers.

"I don't think so. Look, they got them up, I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up," he said. "You know, it's very hard."

I can't wait to see how much Trump effs up the booming economy Biden has handed him. MAGA is about to experience a huge collective hangover, the likes of which have never been felt before!

MAGA!
