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.

Remember that one? How it was SOLELY Bush's fault and how Bush called the CEO "Kenny Boy" but never mind all of Clinton's golf games with him and never mind how your stupid S/P500 channel was hyping the stock (this is back when you are 401K'ers starting out --remember?)

Anyhow, as good Reactionaries you rammed thru "MCCAIN FEINGOLD!" and The Leader told you it was a timid step and like an old inner tube with holes all over the place and how *after* said legislation you'll invite MORE corruption and MORE campaign spending.

And as usual I was right - 2004, 2008, so on.

Now you people are in the billions but hey, at least money doesn't have too much influence.

Is it comforting that Elon .....has a Red Phone into the Oval now?

I'd mention how it's been that was between Wall Street and Treasury - the Goldman Sachs Crowd runs that thing - but you sellouts wouldn't care so I picked the Elon example because that appeals to your hate :)
