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 the answer is Yes. Got it.

No, you don’t got it. And I think you know you don’t got it.

A good idea is a good idea, regardless of where it comes from.

Mussolini got all the trains running on time, which is a good thing. But I’m not sure I’ve ever heard anyone singing praises to him because of all the bad things he did.

RFK Jr has stated processed foods are bad for you and I think he’s absolutely correct! Personally, I avoid processed foods (and RFK Jr) like the plague. The fact that he got 1 thing right, doesn’t offset the enormous stupidity and deathly harm that will occur if he convinces people to avoid getting the polio vaccine.

As an aside, when Jonas Salk was asked by an interviewer about who owned the patent for the polio vaccine, he said “Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?”

Now that man is an American hero. However, to be honest, I’m not sure if he later tried to sell cheap gold sneakers, cheap guitar rip-offs, NFTs of himself, official Salk Bibles, worthless stock, fake university diplomas, or bankrupted a casino.

Even Trump once had a good idea! Let’s fund a Covid vaccine! Of course then he told his cult not to take it but instead inject disinfectant to cure Covid. So you see, having 1 good idea doesn’t offset the fact that Trump’s actions caused hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Do you got it now?
