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.

A POTUS setting up his won financial system.... potentially the greatest grift anybody has every seen. Trump's "World Liberty cryptogrift may make Bernie Madoff's scheme seem like chump change.

No conflict of interest when a POTUS and his kids hustle the nation with their own financial system? Shyaaah.

"The Trumps want to make crypto ‘user-friendly’. Here’s what you need to know about the venture that has Barron as its ‘visionary’
Donald Trump’s sons say they want World Liberty Financial to make ordinary people feel welcome in crypto. "

"You can literally sell shit in a can, wrapped in piss, covered in human skin, for a billion dollars if the story’s right, because people will buy it.” So said internet marketer and self-professed "dirtbag" Chase Herro from the driver’s seat of his Rolls-Royce in a 2018 YouTube video. Six years later, Herro is one of the brains behind a new cryptocurrency venture backed by none other by Donald Trump and his three sons. The elder sons Don Jr and Eric are leading the promotion, although supposedly it is 18-year-old Barron who will serve as the project’s "visionary"."


"WLF team’s track record is hardly promising. Although all four Trumps were given job titles in the draft white paper obtained by CoinDesk, it stressed that they will not own or manage WLF but may receive financial benefit from it.
