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.

Notwithstanding the best efforts of our host, partisan politics seems to always intrude on this board

True, and we all must continue to remain vigilant. I apologise to whatever extent I have exacerbated the problem.

But one could be a bit more optimistic about it...politics has intruded, for sure. But if you break it down into "politics is justifiably more relevant to investing than usual", "politics just because there are interesting discussions and information to be shared among friends", and "partisan politics and rants", there actually hasn't been much of the latter. I'm not saying it's a good idea, just noting that at least the infestation has not been a particularly bad case. Scritching in the walls, but the foundation isn't crumbling.
