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.

Again, he wants a win. He wants Iran to accede to a deal that is better than the JCPOA. He wants the Strait to reopen. He wants oil prices to go down. He wants the UAE and Kuwait and Qatar and Saudi to be able to resume normal energy exports instead of being hindered by this conflict - so that he can go back to enriching himself with deals in those countries.

Israel doesn't want a deal with the current regime. They want the regime destroyed. Trump has said Iran could "change it's mind" at any time, implying any agreement is not as reliable as destroying the regime. The oil companies allegedly paid Trump a $1B bribe to make them richer. Reopening the Strait, and restoring oversupply to the market would work against their profit interest.

We will find out when the books are published.
