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.

Everything Trump touches dies...or turns into a clusterfck.

Or another scam.

WASHINGTON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. has begun marketing Venezuelan oil and all proceeds from its sale will initially settle in U.S.-controlled accounts at globally recognized banks, the Department of Energy said in a statement released on Wednesday.

A bit Jeff posted in a catch-all post on METaR yesterday:

Vicky Ge Huang of the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial today applied for a national banking license from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, part of the Treasury Department. A banking license would integrate the Trump family’s cryptocurrency more fully into mainstream finance.

Will Trump have the nerve to deposit the Billions from oil sales into his own bank?

As the author on Amanpour a couple nights ago said, how will we be able to tell a future POTUS that he can't use the office to stuff Billions into his own pocket? Because Trump is scamming everyone, for Billions, and no-one is lifting a finger about it.
