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 market was juiced today by Iranian officials making noises like they might negotiate an "arty deal".

Trump to address nation on Iran war Wednesday night, White House says

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he expected that U.S. military forces will leave Iran in “two or three weeks.”

“We leave because there’s no reason for us to do this,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “We’ll be ‌leaving very soon.”

Hours later, the White House said that Trump will deliver an address “to the nation to provide an important update on Iran” at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday.

And, an Iranian desalination plant has been attacked.

These are the targets Trump the Great and Bloated said he would attack.

So, is Trump the God going to cut and run? Or double down on his bad decision?
