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.

per this article, shoppers are starting to feel the pinch of higher price. The Trump admin will be lying thru their teeth about how prices are down. I sure am not seeing it.

Also, as an aside, I thought the stock market would have soared with Trump proclaiming a deal,or an agreement,lol, with China. It's almost like vast majority of investors are not believing
his bs. And with Trump's record of reneging on deals that he signs, why would China even bother making a deal with him ?

snips:
"Shoppers vote with their wallets – and even those who supported President Trump are having a tough time swallowing prices that are surging because of his trade war, The Post has learned"

"Omar — a Los Angeles-based long-haul truck driver:........Trump was “a businessman and everything was going to better because he was going to be good for the economy,” he told The Post in an interview.

Since then, however, parts and services for his rig have gone through the roof. An oil change now costs $480 compared with the $360 he paid a year ago. He recently forked out $600 each for Firestone tires. Last year, they were $390 each.

“He’s doing things that are making the economy worse,” Omar said."
