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 think it's likely that in today's hyper-partisan backdrop, Buffett doesn't want half the country to boycott any of Berkshire's subsidiaries. Remember why he shut down the charitable giving program? He also doesn't want to risk the safety of any of Berkshire's employees based on people's reactions to his personal decision to endorse Harris.

Agree 100%. In todays bitterly ultra-partisan world words have consequences.
For example: Retired United States Army General and real hero, Mark A. Milley spoke out saying Trump is "The most dangerous person to this country. A fascist to the core."
General Milley has since received "a non-stop barrage of death threats." (He has installed bullet-proof glass in his residence.)
