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.

Let me elaborate a little...
There is not going to be any sort of consensus on how to proceed with any fairly radical changes. To the extent he will dictate solutions, implementation will be hindered as it was in his first go around. He is not a strong leader, nor able to get competent people to follow him. We have all seen the disfunction in the house, and his presidency would just double down on that.

He clearly did significant damage the first go around by creating a supreme court that follows their personal beliefs rather than the constitution, but that is now a done deal. The damage was really done by the senate, with simple "yes" votes by the president. saying "yes" is something he can do... lead, I don't think so.

In summary, anything that is a reasonably good idea will probably get done. It is unlikely that anything "crazy" will get done.
