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.

It is certainly worth looking at why crime rates took a bounce off of their near-term lows immediately after the pandemic, and trying to address those increases. But our modern major cities are not "urban hellscapes."

Heh. If you lived in a hard core progressive city, you'd think otherwise.
The BLM riots were a nightmare and so was/is the ONSLAUGHT of homeless drug camps. You didn't know what part of the city they were going to hold their marches in or what part of your neighborhood was going to be shut down. And if you asked them to keep it down, you got your head caved in:

Yup. Not a lot of fun.

The other not so fun thing is having all your public transportation turn into fentanyl and meth repositories.

washington.edu - Uw assessment finds fentanyl and methamphetamine smoke linger on public transit vehicles

Researchers detected methamphetamine in 98% of surface samples and 100% of air samples, while fentanyl was detected in 46% of surface and 25% of air samples.

For other lefties reading this, I'll remind you all that the correct percentage of meth and fentanyl on buses and trains is 0%.
