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.

When there are eight (8) medium sized commercial haul away construction dumpsters of stuff taken out of one (1) house, you get insights into how the Dopamine effects drive folks to repeatedly buy crap stuff. In this clean-up journey we also witnessed the role of landfill space. Siting and approving new landfills is quite difficult. If Waste Management or Republic Services ever have a market swoon to a Buffett type PE, I will be loading up the truck. There are hundreds of thousands homes with crap that someone will one day be hauling to a landfill. Landfill dumping fees continue to rise because of all the above factors.

Interesting. However there have been recent articles on how the tariffs will force the US to become a Yard Sale nation, with people buying used to avoid the higher costs of importing new. IMO it sounds in line with the younger generations. I think of things like the freecycle movement, Facebook Marketplace, etc. Could be those prices decline for a reason.
