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.

The two of you had a serious lengthy and productive discussion. Finally valuable posts again here. Then one sentence:
.....you seem to unfortunately resort to unproductive rhetoric.

which might not have been nice, right. But to see that as "condescending insult[s]"? As a German with our reputation in the English speaking world to be so direct it´s bordering on rudeness I´d say: Don´t be so overly sensitive and reactive. No need to pay it back doubly with:
.....let’s just see if I can explain in a way that even YOU can understand

But done, ok, so you two are even and no need for
.....Goodbye

90+% of all posts here are boringly uninteresting. Shoulder-clapping how great Berkshire is, endless always the same wishes for dividends, for buybacks etc. etc. Finally a valuable real discussion you two had. Good!

Pussies. Don´t ever holiday in Germany. You couldn´t stand it.
