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.

Here's a book rec. I have not finished this yet, I'll go out on a limb and recommend it anyway.
The Second Estate: How the Tax Code Made an American Aristocracy by Ray D. Madoff...PF


Thank you for the recommendation, looks interesting, I have requested a copy from my library!

"In The Second Estate, Madoff shows that the US tax system itself has, over time, been stripped and reconstituted in such a way that wealthy people avoid taxation altogether.
America’s wealthy do more than just pay less than their share; they remove themselves from the tax system entirely."
