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'd go with DeSantis and trust in the American public to continue voting for candidates that are not poo-flinging agents of chaos; that absent a revenge-driven, narcissistic, compulsively lying, pandering conspiracy theorist in the Oval Office, the system will cycle back as it always does.

Are you sure? That's kind of brutal for a lot of people.

I mean, Ukraine's basically toast if that happens - lot of people getting killed there, and an expansion of Putin's power, that isn't "cycling back." Rough going for climate change, too, if you hand the Presidency to the GOP for four years; a fair number of regulations get undone (or never adopted), a lot of climate funding gets clawed back if the GOP gets Congress, etc. Four years of lifetime judicial appointments - including probably a SCOTUS justice - won't "cycle back." Lot of young gay and trans people end up having very different school experiences also.

It matters which party has control of the Presidency. A lot, and for a long time.
