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.

npr.org - Germany scholz confidence vote elections

LOL@ NPR. No, no one wants to lose a confidence vote, dissolve your government, and roll the dice in a general election. Of course this is Europe and they have the advantage of being able to just ban political parties they're about to lose to, so....
