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.

When you lose one of the biggest Trump sycophants in America, you know your position is indefensible.

HEWITT: "Very interesting interview in ⁦@washingtonpost w/ General Milley today: washingtonpost.com - Gen milley ukraine tuberville wokeness Here is the key point about ⁦@SenTuberville "hold" on all senior appointments in career military. It's ruinous on morale and readiness and needs to stop.

MILLEY: So now you're up to, probably, I don't know somewhere between three [thousand] and 4,000 people, humans, children, spouses, the officers themselves that are being impacted by this in a negative way ' increased uncertainty, can't go to school, can't change jobs, can't get settled.

About a third of our assignments change pretty much every year. So you're looking at about a third of the organizations in the U.S. military globally, are without predictable, consistent leadership. And the guy who's in the job right now would either have to extend or defer retirement or defer the next assignment and there's a real ripple effect to all of this.
