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.

Forbes: Buffett is 'likely the biggest philanthropist of all time'
Warren Buffett again tops the annual Forbes ranking of America's 25 most generous givers, with an estimated $5.4 billion in donations in 2022.

Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates are second with $5 billion. The magazine notes that Mr. Gates gave $20 billion to the Gates Foundation in July, but it only counts "contributions paid out by those foundations, rather than gifts made to them."

Forbes says that since pledging in 2006 to give away almost all of his fortune, Buffett has donated $51.5 billion, making him "likely the biggest philanthropist of all time."
