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.

So the White House plans to conduct a far-reaching review of Smithsonian museum exhibitions, materials and operations in preparation for America’s 250th anniversary to ensure the museums align with Mad King Donald’s interpretation of American history.

In a letter sent to Lonnie Bunch, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, three top White House officials said they want to ensure the museums’ “unity, progress, and enduring values that define the American story” and reflect the president’s executive order calling for “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.”

Well, that doesn't sound one bit fascist, nope.

Mad King Donald has also called on Goldman Sachs Chief Executive David Solomon to fire the bank's top economist, Jan Hatzius, over his past unflattering predictions of the administration's policies.

Hazius and his team have been among the many economists who have predicted tariff policies would dent labor markets, cause higher inflation and slow U.S. economic growth.

Hazius has found that American consumers have absorbed about 22% of tariff costs through June but will eventually pay 67% of those costs should recent tariffs follow the same pattern as earlier tariffs.

Hatzius famously predicted in 2008 that mortgage defaults could lead to a severe recession.

But no, no way is any of this fascist or authoritarian, nosireebob.
