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.

Berkshire had a bit of an ethics/judgement lapse they had to deal with about 15 years ago. David Sokol didn't disclose that he had a ~$10m stake in Lubrizol which Berkshire bought and ended up netting him about ~$3m.

That's pretty much throw 'em in jail, by my reckoning, but that didn't happen. Now, did Buffett really come down on him mercilessly (as he has promised, should any of his leaders lose a shred of reputation)? No, as he's very conflict avoidant.
