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.

Gosh this makes so much sense.

There was no Medicare nor Medicaid in 1955 so we can definitely save a lot of money by eliminating those programs.

Depending when in 1955 he's talking about, there might not be any polio vaccine available, since that was first announced on April 12, 1955.


No MRI machines, no CAT scans, no PET scans. Gonna save a ton of money there, too.

Miraculous life saving cancer drugs that cost tens of thousands per infusion? Great--none of those, we save even more money!!!

No AIDS treatments that society has to pay for either, they didn't exist in 1955. (Of course neither did AIDS oh well so sad too bad.)

Weight loss drugs? No mas.

Anti-discrimination laws in the provision of medical services? Nope again, that will save lots of money too when minorities can't even get in the door!!!

Gee Mark Cuban...WOTTA GENIUS.
