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.

We’re off to see the wizard,
The wonderful Wizard of Oz!!

Great choice by Don the Con naming Oz as the lead for the Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services!

Oz made his fortune as a huckster promoting questionable products that he had a financial (usually undisclosed) interest in. Hmmm …… that sounds vaguely familiar. Just can’t put my finger on it ……………

Oz promoted hydroxychloroquine for Covid, a drug known to cause heart rhythm abnormalities, severe liver inflammation, and kidney failure. Hey, no biggie. People actually died taking this. File that under “thinning the herd.”

I think we Americans are feeling quite comfortable with Donny’s selection because we know Don the Con would NEVER do anything like recommending hydroxychloroquine, people injecting themselves with bleach, or sticking a light bulb up your nether regions. I mean, come on! Nobody is THAT stupid.

I have to say, it was a close call. The final choice came down to Oz and Dr. Stella “demon sperm and astral sex” Immanuel. Trump actually called Dr. Immanuel “spectacular” and “very impressive.” Hard to argue with that recommendation. Let’s hope Donny made the right call.

You can’t fix stupid.
