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.

The basic justification for "supply side economics" has always been that rich people know how to use money more productively than Proles. Therefor, the argument goes, the rich should have all the money.

Which, of course, is ludicrous. One needs money moving through an economy. The Proles, if you give them some money, will make it flow. That could go down the rabbit hole of managing personal finance, but regardless money has to flow and the Proles will make that happen if you give them some. Rich people don't spend that much (part of the reason they are rich).

Since you mention Gini: worldpopulationreview.com - Gini coefficient by country
