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.

And here's another example of foreign investment going towards light/medium manufacturing at pretty efficient levels:

Turkey-based copper wire manufacturer to invest $34M in South Carolina operation
91,000-square-foot facility to create more than a hundred jobs

A Turkey-based copper wire manufacturer announced on Tuesday it is investing $34 million in South Carolina to establish a 91,000-square-foot facility that will manufacture superfine electrolytic oxygen-free (EOF) copper wire in Fairfield County.

Mega Metal, which has more than 700 employees and distributes products to more than 30 countries, said the project will create 135 new jobs.

Once fully operational, the facility is expected to produce 55 million pounds of wire annually.


EOF wire is the good stuff, suitable for overhead power lines. 55M pounds of wire produced by only 135 employees is pretty cool.
