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.

Gee, nobody has mentioned that president Biden has now created more than 15,000,000 jobs in a little more than three years and the unemployment rate has dropped to 3.8 percent after March's blow-out jobs report.

Lessee now. In eight years, president Clinton created 18.6 million jobs.

In eight year, president Reagan created 16.5 million jobs.

In fact, president Biden has created about 5 million more jobs than the last three republican presidents combined.

Trump had negative jobs growth, losing, what, three-quarters of a million jobs in four years?

Yeah, let's get us some more of that.

Employment and labor force participation rates are extraordinary, around 1999-2000 levels.

In short, we're now as close to full employment as the U.S. has managed to get outside of wartime mobilization.

Oh, and wages are still rising faster than inflation.

Over in batchit crazy land, Marjorie Taylor Greene is shouting at the clouds: "God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come. I pray that our country listens."
