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.

"Besides the magnitude, there is an important difference in the two pots of money that invalidates your comparison. Can you figure out what it is?" - BHM

LOL

The difference isn't what you think it is. It is amazing the pretzels you will twist yourself into in order to justify the Trump graft.

Why don't you try for the whole bag of pretzels and spin yourself silly trying to justify foreign countries renting (and not using) whole floors of the Trump hotel, or foreign countries paying sums of money for membership at Mar-A-Lago, or lots of foreigners overpaying for condos at his properties? - umm


---------------------

You could have just said, No, I can't figure out the difference instead of launching into a worn out, unrelated anti-trump screed.

The parties whose payments were being are the Biden family and Jared Kushner. Not Trump, Not the Saudis, Not Mar-A-Lago. Simply, two piles of money, $27M and $2B, what makes them different?
