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.

Knocking over Venezuela took a bishop off the board. Knocking over Iran takes a rook off the board. When Cuba goes - and it will - there goes another bishop.

ROFLMAO !!

Venezuela and Cuba are pawns. Iran might have been considered a knight. Now it is a pawn. Obviously, you have never understood chess.

Then there's the matter of China's oil supply. Say, are the tankers getting through to them anymore?

You just publicly posted you do not have a clue. China has a floating stockpile of oil waiting to be unloaded. They planned for a shortage--caused by what? They didn't care. A shortage is a shortage. Which is why they are not really worried about it right now. A temporary interruption of a few weeks to a month is no big deal. Why? Because the US imports a lot of items from the Indian and Pacific Oceans countries. When THEY run out of oil, imports to the US stop shortly thereafter. And then the US economy plummets--again. Typical Spankee. Zero thinking capability--and it shows.
