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.

What will happen? The experts tell us that prices of imported goods will rise, fueling inflation.

Are these the same experts who said we could never repatriate manufacturing jobs into the USA and that we shouldn't try?
Or the same bunch that said we'd run out of oil in 1996?
Or the same folks who said that if we re-negotiated NAFTA that the US economy would collapse?
Or that we shouldn't do unilateral deals Because Reasons?

I swear, you people walk into a car dealership and automatically pay the dealer upcharge, don't you? When you look for Mutual Funds do you skip right past the no-loads and pay 5% for somebody to underperform the S&P for you?

That's Establishment Republicanism *and* fossilized progressivism for you in one shot: you think things are unfixable and that we should accept mediocrity. Fortunately, America wasn't built on this kind of loser spirit.
