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 live in that hellhole liberal crime-ridden city of Portland. I heard frequently about the billions of dollars of damage done during our frequent riots/(demonstrations). I have also heard about the dangerous no-go zones that riddle our city where one risks life to enter.

I made it a point to visit the burned-out car dealerships and looted stores to document the sad state of my hometown. I couldn't find any destroyed auto lots, but I did get some good offers on a new set of wheels.

I did make discoveries in the various no-go areas. It turns out that the best ethnic restaurants and food carts are there. Alas, I could not find any looming threat anywhere.

Why would social media lie about my hometown?
