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 best one was Robert Nardelli,

How about divine intervention? At the Boeing meeting, there were curtains, hanging from tall poles, tall being maybe six feet, on each side of the stage where Shrontz and the other honchos were speaking. While Shrontz was struggling with that question,(I don't recall what the question was) the tension in the room was so think you could cut it with a knife. In the middle of all this, the curtains on the right side of the room fell off the poles. Without a word, well dressed, young, guys, hurried to rerig the curtain.

...he announced the numbers, took no questions, turned on his heels, and smartly left the room.

Typical "JC". I suspect that is what this push is all about, so those delicate flower "JCs" don't need to face questions that they can't control.
