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.

Dear Brain:

As you will recall, the first time I saw "BN" and "BAM" in the same sentence -- maybe around 2010, plus or minus a few years -- the 20% of you I was devoting to reading that newspaper said, oh look - Barnes and Noble is merging with Books-A-Million

I read the article, immediately corrected you (me) from that misapprehension, and presumed I'd moved on with our life.

But, no, brain: you still do that to me. Every. Single. Time. Making the last few days' Berkshire Hathaway thread more bandwidth-intensive than it needed to be.

So knock it off, or I'm cutting off the dopamine for awhile. No cookies or hot chocolate.

Got it?
