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.

Given the strike, I take it with a grain of salt. During the strike, the workers were technically unemployed. I would expect the numbers to "tick up" a bit. Get back to me in a month or two when that all settles out.

Joe is doing an adequate job. Economy is better, relations with our allies are better, he's taking positive steps to counter Putin and Xi...I can't ask for much more than that.

As a side note, I was reading someone complaining that "the world is going to hell under Biden". As if Biden could control Putin, or Xi, or Hamas, or any of a number of situations around the world. The POTUS isn't god. He can't wave his hand and make things go away. All he can do is strengthen ties with our allies, and make various strategic moves to attempt to limit those bad actors (e.g. arming Taiwan, which we have begun doing since China is being very bellicose about Taiwan lately). He is doing that.
