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.

Oh, and they’ll likely set up a blockade if some sort of Iran wants to close the straits.

Trump the Pirate King blockades all Iranian tankers, and Iran blockades all non-Iranian tankers? Yes, Trump's paymasters in USian big oil would profit even more, from Trump and Iran combining to restrict oil supply even more. Trump the Conqueror is already bragging about all the tankers on their way to the US, to outbid USians, for US produced oil. If Trump blocks Iranian exports too, that will send even more people to the US, to drive the price of US produced oil even higher. How much do you want to pay? $5? $7? $9/gallon? Because everyone else is so desperate to get some oil.
