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.

You are just evading - the tariffs, as played by Trump, are just disruptive - the CHIPs act did something - you're just hoping something will fall out of the sky.

Hmmm? Don't follow the news, do we?
newsweek.com - Business trump biden investments manufacturing recession

Johnson & Johnson: $55Bn over 4 years. Building new manufacturing.
SoftBank: $100 billion over 4 years. 100k jobs.
United Arab Emirates: $1.4T over 10 years. Multiple sectors.
TSMC (you can Google who this is): Another $100Bn. New R&D center and more fabs.
Open AI, Oracle and Softbank: $500Bn in AI infra. Go Google what that entails.
Apple: $500
Nvidia: 'hundreds of billions' in domestic manufacturing.

So let's recap.

For some reason you want to make it about me. Welp, that never works out for you, because I make it about current events.

U.S. President Barack Obama's East Asia Strategy (2009–2017), also known as the Pivot to Asia, represented a significant shift in the foreign policy of the United States since the 2010s. It shifted the country's focus away from the Middle Eastern and European sphere and allowed it to invest heavily and build relationships in East Asian and Southeast Asian countries, especially countries which are in close proximity to the People's Republic of China (PRC) either economically, geographically or politically to counter its rise as a rival potential superpower.[1]

Wow! What a declaration!

Say - who has the world's biggest Navy? Is it us? You might then understand the significance of the 'ships' thing.
