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.

albaby1: Biden won the mail-in vote by nearly 1.4 million ballots (2 million to 600K), for a 75/25 split against Trump.

C'mon, really. In November 2020, 4,389,678 people in the United States contracted the coronavirus, more than double the previous record high set in October. Over 96,000 patients were hospitalized with Covid-19, a 102% increase from the prior month.

And over 37,000 Americans died from Covid-19 in November, with 25 states setting weekly death records.

Of course people wanted to vote by mail.

My polling place at Village Hall is about the size of an average living room, jammed with desks and a dozen-and-a-half voting booths. I didn't want to stand in a line to cast my ballot elbow-to-elbow with other voters and, instead, dropped off my mail-in ballot at a drop box there.

Was it the democrats fault that Orange Jesus told his supporters not to vote by mail? And why? Was it because in case he lost he wanted to be able to blame mail-in voting? Why else?
