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.

But I am hard pressed to think of anyone on the planet who would trust the US government to honour any deal at all ever again, even one signed by the same players. Interesting times.

Are you kidding me? The USA has been "agreement incapable" for a long long time. Arguably worse than other countries, because the President and administration changes every 4 or 8 years.


All countries, of course, break agreements & treaties whenever they feel like it.

The advantage that the elephant in the room has is that it sleeps wherever it wants to. It can get away with things that the bears and racoons can't. They just have to work around it.

The country that has the "elephant" designation changes over the years. At various times it was Rome, Spain, Britain, etc. Currently is it the USA.
