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.

An environment I worked in, for years. Must toe the official line, no matter how ludicrous.

Oz has been dismissed as a quack for years. Who better to spin nonsense?

‘MAGA math’: Dr Oz jumps through hoops – and changes the laws of math – to explain Trump claims about lowering drug prices

Attempting to mount an explanation, the administrator said: “The president does the calculation by saying, ‘OK, if a drug was $100 and you reduce it to $50, it’s 100 percent cheaper because you’re taking $50 off and left with only $50, so the amount you took off the price is equal to the amount that’s left. They’re equal so it’s 100 percent.’”

In fact, reducing a $100 item to $50 would mean it is only 50 percent cheaper.

Clearly, NBC "news" needs to have a minder appointed over them. Then Ms Welker can be replaced by someone who will reliably gush at Trump's brilliance, and not ask any questions.
/sarcasm.
