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.

Interesting article that describes Coke transfer pricing its profit out to concentrate manufacturers that they built in countries that have low taxes, such as 1.4%. To no have it hit the books all the lawyer's have to say is they'll likely win on appeal.

I recognize the technique. I think we should come to an agreement with these companies on how much total profit they are going to report in the US. I mean this is a hugely profitable market and if they want access to the market they should pay the freight. This should be agreed upon by both Republicans and Democrats as necessary to limit the manipulation of our government. We're going to be manipulated some, but evidently we can be manipulated heavily enough that we look like an oligarchy.
