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.

Nothing so far. The most recent thing I could find was Mar 3, about easing Russia sanctions.

I will not click on a Xhitter link, even before when they were "Twitter". Same for FB. Most content there is garbage, and not worth my time. Plus I don't want to give them a "click" that they can report in their advertising statistics.

Hopefully, something from a legitimate source pops up. Because this one is confusing. How can the US "allow" Russian banks to do anything? They can do what they want. They are not subject to US laws, unless somehow a US payment is involved. But the excerpt you posted was talking about European payments. We have nothing to say about that, to my knowledge.

I agree with the other poster. Even if we could affect European payments in Russian banks, it's really up to Europe. Not us.

So this "story" is either incomplete, or complete BS. Not sure which.
