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.

A dated reading on the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge showed prices remained elevated before the war in Iran broke out, reinforcing that the central bank will remain on hold.

Inflation for the month of February as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures Index rose 2.8%. On a “core” basis, excluding volatile food and energy prices, inflation clocked in at 3%. Both were in line with expectations.


Mind you, this is prior to the Trump/Republican choice to go to war, spending billions of dollars each day and the spike in oil prices with no end in sight.

“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.”
Donald “Two Dolls and 5 Pencils” Trump

Spoiler Alert! Please be sitting down. I don’t want you to fall and bump your head:

Trump is a pathological liar and suffering from increased dementia. But MAGA believes every word and defends every action of his.

Trump has weakened our country and our greatest adversaries are very much aware of it, not to mention how delighted they are as Trump/Republicans dismantle our once thriving democratic republic.

Everything Trump Touches Dies

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to its knees

But it's alright, it's alright
For we lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the
Road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what has gone wrong
