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 understand your point and frustration Weblunchx2. Lotsa kids questions.
My wife sez I overthink but here’s my perspective.

IMHO, the overarching theme of WEB’s answers, while sounding nostalgic, revolved primarily around the theme of change and progress at Berkshire Hathaway.

For example, The Chattanooga Choo-Choo was a famous train and while Berkshire's original business was in textiles, it’s a far cry from the diverse investment conglomerate it is today. Hence, Berkshire Hathaway’s evolution, in WEB’s judgement, Abel is the right leader for its current and future direction, far removed from its textile origins.

I dunno. Just one simple minded man’s opinion.

Respectfully,
PaulnKC
