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.

Except that it was.
Total.
Ass.


That’s so easy to say … on a message board. Harder is to convince people you know what that means. Here’s how to do that:

State “why” is it ass. Explain which parts of it are deficient, and (more importantly) how those could be corrected. Not by some glib “Just get rid of the mullahs” or other simplistic slogan, but a real world solution to whatever the shortcomings are.

Be sure to include the steps necessary to achieve the sought after remedy. You might say, for instance “Drop a nuke on Tehran”, but then you would also have to justify the solution in light of what it might engender, for instance, instantly destroying all exports from Iran, whether legitimized or not, the reduction in world wide oil supply, and of course the complete condemnation of every other country on the planet, particular in Arab countries which might legitimately cut of all oil exports to us in the form a.a new embargo.

That’s just one example, obviously, and an extreme one, and I am sure that since you are so dogmatic in your opinion of the Obama (and now Trump) agreement you have thought this through an a have some real world solutions as to what might be changed and how that may be accomplished.

You do, don’t you?
