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.

"Layoff Announcements Soar To The Highest Level Since 2020"

Or as our MAGA friends might say, "Prosperity!"

"U.S. employers announced 172,017 layoffs for February, up 245% from January and the highest monthly count since July 2020, Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported."
"With the impact of the Department of Government Efficiency [DOGE] actions, as well as canceled Government contracts, fear of trade wars, and bankruptcies, job cuts soared in February."
"According to the Challenger report, it’s not just government cutting back."

cnbc.com - Layoff announcements soar to the highest since as doge slashes federal staff?

Reminder: Trump's job creation record during his first term was the worst of any American president on record, no other president has left the U.S. with a smaller workforce than it had when they took office.
All while adding a record setting $8 trillion in new debt in just 4 years...
OMG, But the transgender mice!!

"The amount he's added to the national debt is indecent." ~Mike Pompeo (Life long Republican.)

Who in their right mind signed up for more of this stupidity?
