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.

"I just accessed the Census Bureau’s website in order to research imports and exports between Michigan, Canada and Mexico. What do you think I found? DEAD LINKS. The Trump Administration has taken down all foreign trade data and broken links to a host of economic data. They have also taken down articles and references to research papers and methodological studies."

Mexico agreed to send 10,000 troops to the US border, meeting a Trump demand, to pursue smugglers and illegals bringing fentanyl into the USA, in exchange for a 30 day pause in the tariff threat Trump laid on them. If this is in fact how the drug is being brought into the USA, there should be a marked and noticeable drop off in fentanyl OD deaths.

But Trump has muted the reporting of health statistics. Trump will almost certainly
crow about the great victory he squeezed out of Mexico. And with no reliable source
to actually check the data, Trump will be able to make any BS claim his heart desires
( although that is what he does now ). So I, for one, am not going to place a shred of
belief in any numbers Trump throws out about this.

Does anyone know if there is a legitimate source to track this data, that Trump has not
muted ?
