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.

What you’ve rolled out isn’t detox — it’s whiplash. This isn’t strategic decoupling. It’s scattershot retaliation dressed up as reform. There’s no roadmap. No operational playbook. No clear articulation of where this ends or what the metrics of success even are. It’s not an attempt to responsibly unwind America’s role as the global shock absorber — it’s a brute-force attempt to disorder the existing system with no viable alternative in place.

Well, Mish. What the hell did you expect? Did you not pay attention to the first Trump administration? Did you see any skills that even remotely resembled what you suggest was needed?

Of course you didn't. Trump isn't capable of any of these things. You voted for a pig thinking it could be dressed up to look and sing like a jaybird. Now you've got your pig and he isn't even close to what you want.

Thanks for nothing. Worse. Thanks for ruining the country. You are a smart guy - that's clear. So why were you so taken in by this charlatan? Where was your analysis of his skills mistaken? Can you even admit that you were flat out wrong in your choice?

To quote Musk, GFYITF.
