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.

Indeed.....

It's not the first time.

But the 401K'ers of Silicon Valley -- wanted their own school for their 'gifted kids' .

So let's see, well educated, well financed people - tossing millions and millions to start a school. Students - from prosperous backgrounds not Liberal plantations in the city. Tuitions for kids of $40K + per year. What could go wrong?

Yet another example of hose 401K'ers with a god-dman spreadsheet, some college thesis and a "link" ---can't in reality do jack shit usually
:
wsj.com - How silicon valleys brightest parents broke their own school Silicon Valley’s Brightest Parents Broke Their Own School

"Tech executives built the ‘it’ school for their gifted kids. Lawsuits, internal feuding and a breakaway followed.")

I had read the print version some days ago but it was such a lovely story I wanted to savor my diner breakfast while reading it and figured I'd post it in a few days.

So let's see--- you people can't get child-care handled in NYC nor do you care WHY you need so much subsidized child care.

And now. your zilionairrres -- can't even run a school.

Why not outsource your entire country? (s if you have one)
