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.

''So if no problem...why did he abruptly resign from BOD of BRK and MSFT?.'' Brk doesn't have a Bill Gates problem, Gates has a Bill Gates problem. If Buffett was a betting man, I would bet 1000 Bs that Buffett and Gates made a deal, you resign from the board of brkb, and you can remain affiliated and active with the foundation and Buffett would continue his donations to the Gates Foundation. The Gates Foundation has done some incredible work, globally. As brk partners, the recipients of those donations, going forward, isn't material to us, unless, the new recipients , 10b5 filing, is significantly different, from the Gates Foundation 10b5 filings. Gates has clearly put Buffett in an, uncomfortable position, to be kind.
