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.

Just noticed Der Postillon has a bit of weekend levity:

Washington (dpo) — This should silence his critics: after the Washington Reflecting Pool was hit by another algae bloom just weeks after a $16 million renovation, US President Donald Trump proved today that the water is perfectly clean—by making Vice President JD Vance drink a glass of it.

"The Lyin'ocrats say the water is infested with algae," Trump explained, holding up a glass of brackish green water. "But they’re wrong. It’s wonderful water. It’s good, healthy water, and I can prove it. Here, JD. Take a sip."

Vice President JD Vance nervously took the glass. "Do I really have to?" he whispered. Trump nodded firmly. The US Vice President then downed the glass in one gulp. "See! The water is delicious. Thanks to me!" Trump declared afterward. "Just because it's green doesn't mean it's bad. Look at JD’s complexion. It's green now too, and he's doing great."

Vice President JD Vance is currently en route to the Walter Reed Military Medical Center—though according to a government spokesperson, this is for an entirely unrelated reason.
