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.

Of4 good things that have happened recently.

At the G20 Summit, India, the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, Italy and the European Union signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor. The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, "promises to be a beacon of cooperation, innovation, and shared progress."

In just the last five months, Biden has hosted the Philippines' president at the White House for the first time in over a decade; he has fêted the Indian prime minister with a lavish state dinner; and he has hosted his Japanese and South Korean counterparts for a summit ripe with symbolism at the storied Camp David presidential retreat.

The latest page in the US's Indo-Pacific playbook will come via the establishment of a 'comprehensive strategic partnership' that will put the US on par with Vietnam's highest tier of partners, including China, according to US officials familiar with the matter.
'It marks a new period of fundamental reorientation between the United States and Vietnam,' a senior administration official said ahead of Biden's arrival in Hanoi, saying it would expand a range of issues between the two countries.
'It's not going to be easy for Vietnam, because they're under enormous pressure from China,' the official went on. 'We realize the stakes and the President is going to be very careful how he engages with Vietnamese friends.'

Biden & Co. just keeps on, keeping on.
