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.

Meanwhile deficits and interest payments increase and we're all getting comparatively worse off and taxes keep going up.

Unsustainable? When's the collapse?


"slowly, and then all at once"




I get more news about Canada than the UK & Europe, it seems to me that any collapse is likely to happen to Canada before the UK.
"There is a great deal of ruin in a nation" and Canada has a smaller economy and is much physically farther from trade partners. Except for one trade partner who they seem to enjoy pissing off.

There is a bit to learn from history. Mexico found out in the early 1800's what happens when a large chunk of people from a different culture settle on your land.
