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.

From the CEO of the American Assn for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), publisher of Science:

"Make no mistake, if Congress enacts the President’s skinny budget, the consequences for the future of our nation would be catastrophic. The United States will no longer be in the global race for R&D leadership—we will have lost it. Economic benefits will accrue to other nations. We will lose the ability to set standards, influence priorities, attract and retain talent, and determine the outcomes for the health, prosperity and security of our nation.

America is at a crossroads. It is up to our federal lawmakers to reaffirm their long-standing bipartisan support for science and technology investment by rejecting this budget."
