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.

Post 75980 on the Policy board proves who is the "decider" in these wars. I don't dare post it here, because I would surely be flamed.

Trump is too much of a narcissist to let anyone else be the "decider" in anything. He can be easily swayed by people convincing him it's in his own best interest to do something, and he can be self-destructive at times (witness his war with the Fed). But he's too convinced of his own abilities to ultimately let anyone else overrule him.

Once he decides it's time to declare victory and tell his supporters how awesome he did, then that will be it. Regardless of what anyone else wants or thinks.
