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.

Quibble. She isn't eligible YET. She is only 34. She'll turn 35 later this year.

I'll bet Trump is also jealous that she is an actual billionaire, not a fake one like him. It's been a few years, but didn't someone analyze his assets closely and estimate he's "only" worth something like $20M (net)? (Still not chump change.)

Having a 20-something daughter, I hear a bit about Taylor. She is rarely political, only endorsing candidates once or twice. But she is all about human rights, which means she's a Democrat. She's also, apparently, wicked-smart. She has a crack legal team, and where she is bound by contract, she gets around it by re-recording her songs on her label. If Trump goes after her, he'll likely regret it. I could see her burying him in lawsuits.

I think the QOP is prepping for a Taylor Swift endorsement of Biden. Though she has never entered the national political arena. They were already losing the youth vote, a Swift endorsement will make it worse for them. I do find it entertaining the contortions they resort to; a contrived relationship with a football player purely for political purposes? And what is really (really!) sad, is that a lot of people will believe it.

Just looked it up...Taylor is worth $1.1B. It also says Trump is worth $2B. The latter seems to be well-supported, so perhaps I was remembering wrong, or the article I was remembering was wrong. It will probably take her a few years to pass him, assuming her popularity does not wane.
