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.

Somewhere along the line over the past week or so I came across something about Sokol being quite ruthless in the way he managed, before the Lubrizol fiasco. Since there are some long time holders here, I'm wondering if anyone can add color to that.

I bring it up because it seems based on a recent article that Abel is willing to jettison KHC and maybe even SIRI, on the heels of Combs leaving (maybe he sniffed out a new sheriff is in fact in town and he's tough!?) Seems like if true on the selling of KHC/SIRI that Greg is in fact a no nonsense guy, which I would love.

Since Abel was his number two early in his career, thinking maybe some of that toughness/ruthlessness has seeped into Greg.
