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.

many on the US Policy board seem to be active investors with some basic grasp of economics.
because of this, and in-your-face weekday market moves, it is thought that the MAGA grand strategy for economics is the most dangerous and worst executed.
let me reality-monger you into considering it is likely not.

what is unfolding in the intelligence, defense, and law enforcement trifecta is far worse, and will eventually make its way into american economics.
the last remaining pillar will be the candidate running clandestine services, and room for MAGA has been made.politico.com - CIA drops agency veteran clandestine operations

take one small defense scenario snippet:
by abandoning ukraine and advising all to front their own defense, the gop and their wanna-be peace prizer has exponentially increased the chance of nuclear conflict.
very few nations can build out their own conventional forces and reliable supply chain, even with partners, in less than 1-2 decades. thus, they have learned from N.Korea , and Ukraine, that the only viable stick will be short-mid range nuclear weapons.
this path is even being pursued by additional NATO nations...can they ever rule out military and intelligence alliances between america and any authoritarian nation based on the quality of american voters? no.
