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.

we know this will absolutely have zero impact.
trump will say he had a much better plan, just like with healthcare, and dozens of other topics.
like all things with no personal benefit to the extended trump mafia, it will end up ignored.

much has been debated about what, if any issue, could make trump accountable in a manner with serious repercussions.
it was floated this would be a return of inflation, which is objectively visible, and partially tanked the Dems broad losses.
i call utter nonsense on this, as MAGA is told how they feel by rightwing media regardless of reality. they are so emotionally tied up with trump's personal journey, the degradation of their own QoL is secondary to whatever scapegoat trump proposes.

(the nature of inflation is that it will certainly show up in an irregular manner as the purchasing price of the dollar continues dropping, even w/out deterministic drivers like tariffs. it is unlikely to be eggs again, but where ever it shows up, rightwing media will assure it has nothing to do with trump.)
