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.

I think it's the inflation they don't like. Of course if you still think inflation is all money supply that will be lost on you.

Inflation is due to the money supply. This is where your lack of knowledge in using proper terminology comes along and bites you in the a$$.

Allow me to Dopesplain it to you:
Prices for some goods may increase locally due to some exogenous (ask your AI wingman to tell you what that means) event. If a hurricane wipes out the sugar crop then candy bars might get more expensive.

Inflation is a systemic increase in prices due to an oversupply of money. I believe I showed you the exact Investopedia article about it. Again, the AI thing you lean on can help. Meanwhile, you can have your AI dude tell you who Greg Mankiw is.

Here's where many get confused: If a good is so prevalent in the economy and appears as a production input to many, many things then an exogenous shock to that good would cause prices to spike in many areas. Seattle is figuring out right now that excessive gas taxes tend to have pricing effects in other areas.

As far as your point about inflation, you can have a seat. You, your doppel, and all the libs here tried to claim that Biden's inflation was just "transitory".
