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.

its hard to keep up, but notably the brightest of the trump crime family is kushner, who this go-round has bypassed any gov role to devote every waking minute to maximize the grift.

missing from the bloomberg link due to recency, kushner is involved via Saudis in what is the largest take private deal in history, EA (gaming). kushner's ~5% cut will net ~US$3b, extremely impressive for never having personal capital at risk.
but unlike twitter 'take-private-to-get-trump-elected-and-destroy-all-value', this is a real money making business.
i guess despite trump's deep anti-semitism, he appreciates his daughter's initiative to marry up into real wealth.

"While a deal of this kind could face regulatory scrutiny in Washington, several people said they expected the transaction to go through fairly easily, citing the influence of Kushner and Saudi Arabia on the White House...
Or, as another person close to the inner workings of the Trump administration put it: “What regulator is going to say no to the president’s son-in-law?”
