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.

Nonsense. As long as the bipartisan culture of corporate corruption in Washington remains intact, the stock market will do just fine. The Big Finance Money is largely indifferent to who wins.

Of course, the middle-class is still going to suffer, we're still going to pay twice as much for a health care system that killing us three years quicker than any other large industrialized country, and price inflation will continue apace without effective antitrust regulation.

But hey, if poor people in the Red States want to continue to gift me a decades long string of unseemly capital gains, who I am to judge? But I will marvel at the ignorance and innumeracy.
