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.

My view doesn't change based on stock prices nor economic data. Good data and rising markets bring arrogance and put-downs while bad data and down markets bring the most dominating feature of all - the grievance dance.

Those that love DJT, and that group does have large numbers of come-and-goers, give too much credit to his business "success" and his ability to lead and solve problems.
Those that despise DJT, and that group also has a bunch of come-and-go people, give too much credit to his business "success" and his ability to lead and solve problems.

Donald does an excellent job of random waffling, moody envious old man bat shit crazy stuff that without a doubt is the most media dominating behavior of all time. The less logical the more some like it; the more inconsistent the more some can't get enough of it. And DJT loves getting people to fight so he can watch and instigate. Some people think they are gaining and thus become obsessed over the empowerment they feel while some feel belittled and destined for a terrible life. My guess is neither gets what they think they'll get, both will get about the same outcome.

Nothing has changed for Donald for half a century except that the platform is now global and most importantly he has rescued himself from financial failure.

The skill that DJT excels with is being able to crawl out from nobody-else-gains chaos with a nice paycheck.
