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.

I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots. I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy rolled out failed.”
Jamie Dimon


I guess Jamie was asleep during the pandemic. Almost every single Republican voted against the stimulus package. Mitch McConnell led the charge and the predictions of disaster were everywhere including from Jamie.

Meanwhile countries which did not take aggressive action got hammered, those which did with stimulus or other measures did much better.

Who came out best of all? Not France, not China, not Japan, not Germany, not any South American Country, not Mexico, not Canada. Not Germany ot the UK.

Want the answer? It was the U.S.

Inflation? Yes. Best growth post pandemic? The U.S. best job creation? The U.S.

Here’s an idea: tell Jamie to stick to overcharging his customers. At least he’s good at that.
