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.

You have my permission, as long as you only invest in companies whos CEO makes less than or equal to what you think is reasonable.

The fact that you will make MUCH LESS on your stock holdings will be a small price to pay for being true to your moral superiority!


Your logic seems to go like this:
- Said finds X obscene and dislikes it
- With this point of view Said sees himself to be morally superior
- To be true to that superiority consequently Said must stay away from X

Where exactly did I claim "superiority"?
Where did I say more than finding X obscene and disliking it?
Why does that result in being forbidden to participate in things where I do not agree with all aspects --- as we all do dozens of times per week in our daily lives, doing things we dislike?

Life is not a coder´s wet dream, is not binary, 0 or 1.
