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.

This morning, top Trump administration economic advisor Kevin Hassett told Trumpedo sycophant Joe Kernan on CNBC's “Squawk Box” that “there could be a little bit of, almost, quiet time in the labor market, because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don’t necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on.”

Well, the Trumpedo administration has solved yet another problem: all those new college graduates getting too many jobs right out of school.

But, sure, cultists will now assure us they voted for the child molester because they wanted an economic "quiet time" for the country.

Frankly, I'm a little amazed he didn't blame migrants but I guess the administration is still working out whether or not migrants are dirt poor and stealing money from the treasury through SNAP benefits, free healthcare, free cell phones, cash debit cards, social security benefits, and free college tuition... or are making so much money they're buying up all the housing inventory so that hardworking 'muricans are left out in the cold.

In fairness, it's tough when you don't pick just one lie and stick to it.
