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.

Sorry, Jim, but Canada isn't as important as it thinks it is. No offence.

There is an old joke, A Canadian says to an American "When we think about America we think about your racism and no free health care and your income equality and [etc]. I am curious, when you Americans think about Canada, what topics do you think about?"


The American answers, "We don't think about Canada at all."

No offence.

Oh, about USAID. USAID was largely a money laundering machine, transferring money to NGOs. It also dished out a little money for foreign aid. Which function has mostly been transferred to the State Department.

Regardless of all that, the US government is spending far too much money and borrowing far too much money.

Another topics on which I'm out. Back to Berkshire, hopefully.
