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.

Sure as long as we are crafting that compromise, something like that should be discussed. One problem I have with any "counting and close" methodology is the needless complexity, eg "Close when for a certain period or until the average yada yada reaches some thresh hold but only if the total number of closure days is below some sliding scale for the year.

I didn't have a problem with it. I just didn't like the number of closure days possible being reduced each yearl

One thing it requires is for information to flow instantly from each sector to a central authority, followed by number crunching, then orders for the day coming back in time to be distributed to the morning shifts. And the ones that Biden is flying right over the border should also be counted as part of the daily dynamic. One thousand more flights in = One thousand less walk-ins.

It sounds nuts and unmanageable, because it is...


That's done all the time Mike - don't expect everything to run smoothly, because it won't.
