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.

It's gonna get ugly...

"US health insurers are raising insurance premiums by the most in 15 years, adding to fears that American consumers are struggling under the weight of higher household expenditures."

"Trump administration policies will make health care coverage more expensive for people who purchase plans from health insurance marketplaces —
and rural residents (MAGA) will be hit the hardest."

"In the individual market, millions more Americans face the possibility of losing coverage because the legislation written by
Republicans in Congress doesn’t extend tax credits signed into law by former President Joe Biden beyond this year. As the bill
Trump signed into law takes effect, the reduced spending on these tax credits, or subsidies, means buyers of plans will face higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs."

"Trump administration policies — especially its refusal to ask Congress to extend Biden-era tax credits that are set to expire at the end of this year —
will boost out-of-pocket premiums by 93% in the 32 states."

Hypothetical: If I light a Trump flag on fire, how will the people who can't afford insurance react?
