FYI, it’s ~1100 miles (~1800 km) from where I am to DC. A flight would be around 300 per person round trip, or if we could afford to take a week off it would be two days of driving to spend a day there and two days back. We’re in the middle of the country, a third are closer and two thirds are further away.
Even if we wanted to go to this shitshow, it would cost us about $3k in lodging and travel alone. Fuck all the way off with that.
This is performative bullshit and an utter misappropriation of taxpayer dollars - par for the course, I guess.
This is the correct answer.
