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.

Again, why do you refer to them as the Harris Layoffs? Did you ever refer to layoffs occurring during the current Administration as "Harris Layoffs" before? Is there some reason you now attribute them to the VP, rather than....I don't know....the President? Or any of the cabinet officials who actually have direct portfolio over the economy?
****

On TMF in its infancy, I was (back then I was concerned, I hated to see American laid off) citing the Al Gore layoffs going into election 2000.

So yes, I've done it once.


Don't worry though, soon IF Harris wins, she'll be responsible for *everything* just like W and Trump were.

I hope Harris doesn't raise the unemployment rate. Or cause further war in the Middle East or with Russia. Or cause credit problems on the lower end of the scale.

OR force people out of work so that her California buddies and Wall Street buddies can replace workers with A.I.

Time shall tell.

Let's get this party started soon......

In the meantime, here's to Biden and Obama for continuing MOST of the Bush and Trump tax cuts. Only when Harris was *given*( the nomination did the doubts begin.....
