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.

stop looking for plans when there are only wishes.
stop looking for economics when there is only grift.

- if trump really wanted to crimp near and mid-term supply, he has had more than enough justification and time to choke russia and\or the thousand tanker darkfleet.
let's not pretend he avoided this simply due to guaranteed gop incompetence in strategy and execution.

- if anything has value here, its the right to Vz massive future reserves.
and the main value here is to flip them, not take the risk to hold on long enough post-trump.
although off-shore, capital intensive reserves excites the supermajors even less than trump 1.0 'drill baby drill' when energy was the only losing sector all 4 years.

but first, we should require an upfront payment back to taxpayers for the billions already spent sending and supporting a supercarrier.
no upstream energy depreciation off taxes allowed.
am i right doge? musk? hello, anyone there?
