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.

Frankly, I expect corporate America to view this as “open season on pushing the envelope”, and attempts at enforcement will be narrowed by fear and/or by “executive action” eliminating enforcement budgets, not to mention pile-up at the legal front. Which will take years to resolve, rather than an accelerated decision (slow tho some might be) via regulatory agency.

And if Trump is our next POTUS he plans to eviscerate our merit based civil service and install his corrupt cronies, not just at the highest levels of the bureaucracy but deep into the ranks of the civil service. Regulations to protect the environment, consumers etc will be set back many decades.

As Mussolini said: "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."

Seems like where we are headed.
