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.

Dope1: He just has that thing called An Awesome Record Of Being An Awesome Governor. I think that's plenty.

Yeah, unless you're Black or a woman or LGBTQ+ or old.

DeSantis is so awesome for Blacks that the NAACP said Black Americans should avoid Florida travel.

And that six-week abortion ban (with no exceptions for rape, incest, or human trafficking) is so awesome it gives women a few days to make a major life decision... if they even know they're pregnant at fewer than six weeks.

And Disney pulling the plug on an office complex that was scheduled for construction in Orlando at a cost of roughly $1.3 billion sure was awesome.

Florida had the awesome distinction of having the 3rd most deaths from COVID-19.

Teachers' salaries are among the lowest in the nation -- and its public schools rank 42nd in the nation -- in the awesome state of Florida.

The Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation that studies health-care systems globally, found in its 2022 'scorecard' that the awesome state of Florida had the 16th worst health care among the 50 states.

More than 12% of Floridians are without medical insurance, a worse record than all but four other awesome states.

The awesome state of Florida ranked as 11th-worst state to raise a family in 2022.

According to a study released by researchers at Lending Tree, awesome Florida was named the third worst state for single parents.

Among the 50 worst U.S. cities to live in, three are in one Florida county: Miami-Dade.

So, yeah, swesome.
