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.

As expected...a total disaster...

We ought to step back and look at things from a different perspective:


Average out-of-pocket ACA healthcare premiums are up 114% in 2026.
Brent crude oil prices surge above $97/barrel as the illegal Iran War nears its 190th day.
The 60+ day delinquency rate on US subprime auto loans is up to ~5.2%, the highest on record.
Corporate incomes are soaring, while workers incomes are not even keeping pace with inflation.


Who says this is a bug, rather than the objective.
Money must flow from the proles to the JCs, be they in Healthcare, Oil & Gas, or other industries.
US companies still waste billions of dollars on payroll payments!


Thanks to Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy the national debt has surpassed 100% of GDP.

Starve that Beast!!


30-Year Treasury is yielding 5.25%, trading at its highest level since the run-up to the Global Financial Crisis.

Buying up some more with T-Bill issuance proceeds may fix that in no time.


"There is no danger that the Titanic will sink. The boat is unsinkable!" ~Philip Franklin, White Star Line VP

The Titanic's band kept playing to the end. Franklin moved up the corporate ladder to become the parent company's president.
