No, I do not believe there will be a fuel shortage or long lines at the gas pump, at least in USA.

Maybe some day light at the end of the tunnel? I am hoping for the best.

Once the government gives us a tax break it is difficult for them to take it away. Sort of a political suicide for reelection. I am fairly confident it will extend beyond 2028. I would have much preferred no tax on SS but that is probably a bridge to far. Many on SS already pay no federal tax.

I would only change the brake lines that need to be changed. Very doubtful all are corroded. I have been driving for 60 years and have had over 50 antique classic cars and I have only had to change a total of two brake lines during that time. Most of those years I lived in the rust belt where...

Just a thought, some states put severe limitations on vehicles that are issued antique tags. I lived in Iowa and Illinois previously and one of those states limited driving your antique vehicle only to and from car shows, etc. You were no allowed to drive an antique vehicle as a daily driver...

Yes, we own both individual stocks plus mutual funds. Probably 60% of our investments are in stocks. Three of my largest individual stocks are Berkshire B, Home Depot, and Walmart. None of those are more than 2% of total, but by also owning SP500 and Total Stock Market mutual funds those three...
