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.

And remember, Unions RIGHTFULLY decided to get more from greedy College Bred Managers, and even greedier and more clueless 401K'ers who think they are investors and businesspeople. Shouting "SP 500!" before every meal.

Anyone from the Costco Employee

To the Airline Pilot.

To the air hostesses. Oh wait, modernize that. - The Air....Stewardesses.

To the baristas

To the auto workers

To the pro workers.

To the Apple Store employees

STILL have more contractual RAISES on the way :) Certainly I'd love to think the money will come from you greedy 401K'ers who never owned nor operated a lemonade stand even. BUT odds are, your Woke Campus Bred Managers will pass the price to consumers.

The plus? Higher prices means more financial angst.

Makes it easier to pit them against each other.

Makes them more prone to clinging to conspiracies and self annointed Messiahs.

Makes them easier to divide and manipulate from home or from Moscow.

And - long term - makes them more prone to violence, and political violence.

The Jedi Train has left the station.

Even if your stupid SP 500 triples tomorrow - you're still getting, and gonna get all I promised.

Trump. Biden. Lincoln. None of them can help you now.
