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.

Dear Wall Street Journal:

Two things that reliably set off my moderately-politically-passionate thirtysomething eldest son are a) Ranked Choice Voting (for) and b) the WSJ editorial page (against).

Every 7-10 days or so I can rely on there being a WSJ editorial egregious enough to where I view it as my paternal duty to forward to him, and then listening for the distant explosion (they live about ten miles away).

So, thank you for your editorial today on RCV: wsj.com - Ranked choice voting ballot measures november.

Eleven minutes after forwarding I received a single line email: "Hard to imagine a more WSJ article than one mansplaining how voting is too complicated for voters"

Heh heh. That's my boy

raising him was a big pain in the backside.
but having them boomerang from Chicago back to the zip code where he grew up...it doesn't get much better
