The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Oh well, at least we have money to bail out Argentina, pay Iran $300 Billion in reparations and build the "world's greatest" ballroom!

One thing I noticed, in the coverage of Venezuela, where is the US military?

The media goes on and on about how the Venezuelan government is a no show, in the quake zone. No heave equipment to move debris. No relief supplies. The US military is really good at delivering emergency food rations and drinking water. I remember a US carrier going to Indonesia. The pipefitters on the carrier rigged up a pipe system to bring water straight up to the flight deck from the water purification plant, to expedite loading the helos. Sticks in my mind that badly injured people have been evacuated to US ships for medical care, in previous natural disasters. Why is that not happening here, especially as, according to Trump the Conqueror, Venezuela is now a vassal state? Maybe Trump the Conqueror only wants to blow stuff up, not "win hearts and minds" by helping people?
