The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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: Her cabinet officials are getting into Twitter spats with Elon Musk. You can't make up this level of incompetence.

Dude, you are literally making it up.

After Musk complained on Xhitter that there were "reports" of FEMA/FAA blocking hudreds of relief flights, Secretary Buttigieg responded: "No one is shutting down the airspace and FAA doesn't block legitimate rescue and recovery flights. If you're encountering a problem give me a call."

Musk called and then less than three hours later wrote to Buttigieg on Xhitter: "Thanks for expediting approval for support flights. Just wanted to note that Secretary Buttigieg is on the ball."

Secretary Buttigieg replied: "Glad we could address--thanks for engaging."
