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.

Political discussion has clearly taken over the BRK board recently.

After thinking about it, and unable to identify any aspect of BRK that we haven't already discussed - rinse and repeat - instead, I find myself tempted to revert to Munger's advice to " ... invert, always invert."

What would keep the USA citizens from revolting in the upcoming elections to throw the incompetent current members out of office at every opportunity?

I can only come up with trying to keep non-MAGA voters from voting. Which seems to be the highest priority of our current President with his SAVE act, holding in hostage badly needed, broadly supported, support for housing. The other is that many USA voters silently fear a move towards a Euro style social system. Surely there must be a middle ground that we seemed to be seeking in the past, and is now being tried to be reversed - at the cost of many lives, here and abroad.

I ask this, not to further make this a political board, but because I respect the intelligence of this board's members.

Where else can one ask? Certainly not the US Policy board. They've already become a "never Trump" dominate board. So I worry about what might keep this from happening.
