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.

"Kyle Bass appeared on CNBC last week and there was a wide ranging discussion about a number of financially related stuff but he also mentioned how the US had to pull out of the Iranian nuclear agreement because Iran was not honoring it. We also recently learned that they had lied about their ballistic missile program."

I will make this as non-political as possible only sticking to facts because Kyle Bass's statement is factually inaccurate. He has it exactly backwards.

1. Iran was honoring the agreement. Iran honored the agreement up to the point where the Trump administration stopped honoring the agreement. Of course Iran was going to stop honoring an agreement where the other side wasn't honoring it.

2. The agreement had absolutely nothing to do with ballistic missiles.

Both of these are easily verifiable fact that show Bass is wrong and people listening to him should get better sources of information. Ones that don't make them look like idiots constantly.

Also the Neville Chamberlain comment is quite hilarious considering the actions of the U.S. regarding Russia.
