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 do see the Mayor and Governor doing nothing about the 20 to 40 shootings that every weekend in Chicago and have been going back years.

Chicago is a large city, so it rings up big numbers for everything. Several other cities actually have higher rates of shootings/murders, and some of them are in red states. According to Wiki, Memphis, in a red state, has the third highest rate for murder and non-negligent manslaughter, at 40.61/100000. Chicago ranks 22nd, with a murder and non-negligent manslaughter rate of 17.47/100000 Portland ranks 56th, with a murder rate of 10.75/100000

But you knew that, didn't you?

en.wikipedia.org - List of United States cities by crime rate

The Repubs should clean up their own house, before invading blue states.
