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.

market barriers and unfair treatment shown by other countries

Those are mostly irrational claims made by Spankee--with no substantiation.

Most countries allow imports of certain goods/products up to a stated amount or volume. Once that limit is reached, then tariffs/barriers are in place for additional imports over the limit. In addition, many countries do not allow a variety of products that do not meet their standards to be imported at all. Think about cars that are driven on the left side of the road rather than on the right side of the road--such as the US. Claiming this type of barrier is unfair publicly documents the irrationality of Spankee and his claims. It could even be public proof of his senility and inability to be in any office.
