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.

(no, i dont mean from a complete breakdown in american society)
what i mean : some asset\investment trump&cronies would ignore , below his radar, too boring, etc...

last year, i was thinking it could be the tax-free bond arena, and that thread fizzled since the shrewd bond board is mostly dead :
weatherman writes on tax-free mkt and GOP\trump control 2-4 yrs

in many ways, munis and such are at the opposite end of trump crypto grift and his taste in failed businesses.
thinking a bit further, if trump&cronies have no stake here, it could become a target for any number of irrational reasons.
and if it does become a target for trump\DOGE\MAGA since they have no way to personally benefit, then fiscal impact would be amplified into a societal one.

interesting post popped up on this:
