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.

I just don't get.

Put aside the "your guy did it!!! mine didn't!" shit. That's for you tribal maggots - not me who has long said, your Ruling Class owns your ass and operates in a different world. Party doesn't matter.

BUT......

Most of these men and women - were very smart. Very accomplished. No no I don't mean some over-rated advanced degree where they got a 401K, fly first class, think they are something when they are just a career maggot who bows to their boss and overlord then come to this board to say "I'm a rich white male" - lol - no, not those wannabes.

But these are men who truly had power. Wealth. Or access to one or the other or both and they KNOW how media works.

HOW THE HELL DID THEY ALLOW SO MANY PICTURES??????? HOW DID THEIR PEOPLE NOT SWEEP FOR HIDDEN CAMS? And forget hidden cams---WHY ARE THESE GUYS POSING FOR PICTURES??????? I mean - does Monkey Business come to mind?

I'm nowhere near these guys but back in the mid 2000s when I figured - screw this - I'm gonna opt out and watch you people punish each other. The "creative" financial stuff I did - was considerable for a small fry like me and man. Myself. or the few people who assisted NEVER SAID ONE WORD in my office or within my company or home or even car. If "Olive Garden" was in a message, well, a convo was had over breadsticks and chicken parm -- but no cameras or microphones, no texting no email. If "bob evans" was said - we knew STFU and let's do it over pancakes. And I took you people for a nice chunk of change -- no redistributing my shit for your bad-culture caused moochers and jealousy.

Pictures? Recordings? Shit no.

So if an uneducated yum yum like me was that careful---- how can Presidents, CEOs, etc - be so careless.

Anyway, it's grocery pickup day and Dunkin gives an extra 100 points on Monday.

Dad is leaving the store now, so you boys keep an eye one the register.
