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.

In Seattle you have to be at least socialist adjacent to get elected dog catcher. Still pretty interesting election. Katie Wilson has a very thin resume' to say the least. The incumbent had all the major endorsements and most of the money. But she basically won this thing on social media. She posted videos of herself walking around town. They all had the format: 1. Here is problem. 2. Here is why the problem exists. 3. Here's how to fix the problem. Pretty effective, I thought. A couple of them went viral locally. We'll see if she can actually run the place or not, but she doesn't have a ton of time to learn the ropes. Seattle likes to keep its mayors on a short leash. The last five served single terms.
