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.

The federal government is absolutely massive and screwed up in so many ways that it's inevitable that there will be some collateral damage. Moron libs will claim that planes are falling out of the sky Because Trump but all those words indicate is the relative IQ of the person saying/typing them.

Trump has a window to roll out a lot of changes and have them take effect in time for 2026. We're in that window now.
*****

I hope so.

BUT history dictates we lose Congress in 2026.

AND - I'm not sure if reforming the FAA was what voters were clamoring for. I'm not sure if, in mid-terms, voters are gonna say "by golly, we laid off some FAA employees, we let Elon root around in our Social Security numbers, and I heard they wanna mess with medicaid and ObamaCare.....let's go vote for the incumbent party !"

Also.... broke it, own it. From this moment on - fair or not - every Bird Flu problem. Every Bird Flu death. Every airplane accident - - guess what, WE own it. Sure we'll post links saying how it was just a routine accident. Or how the cuts or changes had nothing to do with it.

But it won't matter.

We broke it, we own it.

If we truly screw with medicaid, ObamaCare, or start talking about Social Security age bumps or benefits cuts - we're dead ducks.

We're going to do for Dems what Kamala and the they/them extremists did for Trump and us this time.

It's way early.

But today I bet on Dems in 2028 with the caveat: Sheeple 401K'ers are told to shut up this time.
