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.

That will be a very interesting case. I wonder what they think was the criminal infraction? It wouldn't be insider trading, since there's no material non-public information that he owed any fiduciary obligations on - it's just his own private actions. There's no "misappropriation" that can be the hook for any securities violations.

George Santos is an ethics-starved sycophant who is mostly a symptom of degeneracy rather than a cause.

More in the crosshairs- the institutionalization of high stakes gambling avenues that we have allowed to grow and flourish- the billionaires who established them, and the politicians/judges who allowed them.

A good place to start would be dismantling Citizens United. That would begin to address even more outrages that have corrupted our political and even economic lives.
