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.

Yeah, terrible years. Over 14 million jobs created, including about 800,000 manufacturing jobs. A record stretch of unemployment under 4.0%, and GDP growth numbers that Trump promised but never achieved. Republicans are lining up to take credit for new roads, bridges, and broadband in their communities that they voted against.

LOL! only because workers returning to work after covid and their freebies dried up.
What’s Trump got to do with anything now? OldJoe is the president.

And wasn't it president Biden who walked on the union picket line while Trump paid a non-union plant to pretend to have union workers?

Don’t know what OldJoe did but Trump was in support of blue-collar Americans regardless it was a union shop or not, wanting to protect jobs.

Now if Biden could get oil companies and food companies to stop price gouging and bring down the price of gasoline and food on store shelves, Biden would win in a cake walk over a hate-filled, Hitler-quoting, top secret documents stealing, insurrection inciting, fake electoral vote peddling, defaming and defrauding incoherent rapist..

Well my goodness commonone, you’re blaming someone else beside Trump. One gold star for you.
One reason for the hikes are due to supply issues and climate change,(ahem, stole that from libs) rather than corporate greed. Also drought has reduced pasture for raising cows, leading to smaller cattle herds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And orange production has been impacted by severe weather events and the citrus greening disease, which doesn't have a cure. In Florida orange groves etc. are turning into subdivisions etc due to the rising population.

But to paraphrase my father: you can't fix cult stupid.

Oh dear, then there is no hope for OldJoe.
