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.

...and that is why one should always be aware if policy has any intersection with potential PERSONAL benefit to trump&family as a primary trigger of interest\disinterest.

where is trump really on the h1b ? is he for immigration today or not? probably no one has made a sufficient offer, and thus he remains somewhat subdued.

the classic example is in the realm of disinterest\negativity on crypto. how that predictably flipped is captured by this blurb from palmvalley capital :

"All three of President Trump’s sons are involved in the family’s new cryptocurrency platform,World Liberty Financial. Justin Sun, the crypto
billionaire who recently paid $6.2 million for a banana stuck to a wall with duct tape, and then ate it, bought $30 million in tokens from the World Liberty venture before Thanksgiving. Sun was charged with fraud by the SEC in March 2023 for actions related to his cryptocurrency, Tronix (TRX), which operates on Sun’s TRON blockchain. The impending, crypto-friendly change of the guard at the SEC shouldn’t hurt his chances in court.
Tronix is now the 10th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. During December, it was roughly equal in size to corporations such as Estee Lauder, the #2 global cosmetics powerhouse (founded in1946); State Street, the largest custodian bank in the world (founded in 1792); and Church &Dwight, the steward of ARM & HAMMER(founded in 1846). We know why these enterprises exist, but we can’t say the same for TRX or hundreds of digital tulip bulbs."
