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.

The most likely explanation is that the Administration really needed to have something to announce

You just said they’d been working on this for years. Doesn’t sound like something they’re rushing through.

No one has said the US economy is on the brink of collapse.

Another poster made that very claim last night. The words were along the lines of “the US economy is on the brink of collapse and everyone knows it”. Kier Starmer, being a total conservative wouldn’t want to take advantage of that /s.

He'll declare it a major victory, and his supporters will echo those claims and point to his brilliance.

And his detractors will call it a big nothingcheeseburger and still claim that the US economy is DOOMED. DOOMED I TELL YOU even as more countries sign up.
