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.

...I wondered what will get the US off of this trajectory. I'm still wondering.

I'm guessing it will be getting our asses handed to us. We're burning through allies. How many supported us over Iran? Not many. Venezuela? Nobody, as I recall. Cuba? We'll be going it alone there, too.

We made little difference in Venezuela, we're losing Iran, and we've already been through this with Cuba once before (under Kennedy).

Face it. We're losers, with a loser POTUS. Our military is first-rate, but their political leadership is utterly incompetent. So, we're well on the way to getting our asses handed to us. Maybe like Germany and Japan, we'll end up with a better system on the other side of that ass-handing.
