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 thought this was unusual enough to where I asked Perplexity for the source quote:

“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.”

was originally reported as remarks made by Dimon during a foreign ministry event in Dublin, Ireland, in July 2025. Multiple reputable outlets covered these comments, but the first and primary reporting source is Bloomberg. Other major financial and news publications, such as Fortune, Yahoo Finance, and Moneycontrol, explicitly cite Bloomberg as the origin of the direct quote"


..and while it forget to list Bberg among the references, here's a link to 11 July Fortune: fortune.com - Jamie dimon democratic party idiots dei social issues

So
- yes, he said it, and
- I agree with Jim/mungo that it is a necessary filter to other remarks by Mr Dimon going forward. I hadn't really thought of him as stale-dated until now (Jamie, not Jim)
