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.

Oh no, not Walgreens!

Let's look at some Data...

"Red States Have Higher Gun Death Rates Than Blue States."

"The Data found that between 2000 and 2020, Trump-voting states had 12% higher murder rates than did Biden-voting cities."

"The South is the geographical region with the highest gun-related crime rates, and these states largely have been Republican-run for years.
Fifteen of the 20 states with the highest firearm mortality rates are led by Republicans."

"New York saw significant drops in homicides between 2021 and 2022, while Florida saw significant increases."

"Data shows that in 2020, eight of the ten states with the highest murder rates voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election in this century."

"Mississippi had a firearm mortality rate of 33.9, making it the state with the highest rate. The state also used its electoral votes to vote for then President Trump in the 2020 election."

"Louisiana had a firearm mortality rate of 29.1 and voted for Trump."

And folks in Blue states live longer...

"A growing mortality gap between Republican and Democratic areas may largely stem from policy choices."

"People in Republican Counties Have Higher Death Rates Than Those in Democratic Counties."

"It joins an already existing, pretty robust literature showing that politics do have life-and-death consequences."

"The U.S. mortality rate has decreased since 2001. But the improvement for those living in Republican counties was half that of those in Democratic counties 11 percent lower versus 22 percent lower."
