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 see some goobs weighing in.

First off, lol.

Second off. The Straits of Hormuz are international waters. There's no scenario where the Iranians get to "control" it. If the French want to pay, great. Let them. But nobody else will.

It seems our local chatbots need another firmware download."

First of all, Dumbass Dope calling others goobs?!?!?! That is hilarious.

Second of all, how does Dumbass Dope think there is no scenario where the Iranians get control of the Straits of Hormuz and that no one else will pay? Reality has shown that what the U.S. is currently doing won't prevent Iran from stopping shipping in the Straits of Hormuz. The only way to guarantee Iran won't continue to control who goes through the Straits is to either get Iran to agree to peace (which means making big concessions to Iran) or to put boots on the ground to takeover at least the coast of Iran.
