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.

Good to hear that X-Twitter has some competition. I have never been on X-Twitter, as I've
learned from FB that I really don't like reading the random thoughts of strangers who think they know everything. There are a few posters here on Shrewd-dom that I never read, as I don't
want to pollute my mind with the garbage they spew.

And as far as Dollar Dominance, I always thought that was a function of the US Military
dominance. Isn't the US Navy mostly responsible for keeping the world's shipping channels open,
which allows oil to be shipped uninterrupted across the Globe ?
Let the US Military presence shrink, and things might change drastically.
( those r just W.A.G.'s on my part, I know nothing,lol )
