The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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, it turns out that the Trump Administration going to war with Harvard University was a mistake on its part, that the email sent to Harvard with a series of demands about hiring, admissions and curriculum so onerous that school officials decided they had no choice but to take on the White House was sent in error.

Harvard is safe FOR NOW, because Trump’s normal course is to back down when faced by the prospect of a war he feels he can’t win.

What Harvard did…. Is collectively what we all need to do.


Also characteristic of Trump…… he never forgets or forgives. The destruction of Harvard will resume if he senses an opening.

And that’s something none of us can afford to forget.
