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 pulled up the transcript. He doesn't talk about the negotiations at all.

Sorry to put you through that. Now that I'm back, I did more searches, as that was apparently the wrong interview.

Here's the one I was talking about...I listened to the entire 22 minutes to make sure.

From May 28. At the 1:30 mark, Kent and Ana start discussing how the reports of friction between Trump and "Bibi" are fake, for public/Iranian consumption. 3:00 Kent talks about the US putting "poison pills" in their demands to sabotage the negotiations. 3:50 negotiations are "theater", weeks have I started calling the talks a kabuki dance.

Kent and Ana also start talking about their suspicions there is something else in play, but they don't know what. My theory is that something else is profits for big oil, from the artificial constraint of supply.
