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.

Cool story bro.

Are you a Mormon or a transplant from the West Coast to Utah?

Also, you're an adult, correct?

You view yourself as being knowledgeable and logical, correct?

So, in 2016, when your wife and son got their mail-in ballots, but you never got yours, it NEVER OCCURRED to you that there was some kind of slip-up?

Not necessarily that your address was wrong--could have been lost in the mail or something. Or accidentally tossed in the trash by someone. Anything.

Yet you NEVER thought to investigate the discrepancy.

It took a "Democratic Activist (!)"to figure it out for you?

Also--this was 10 years ago in 2016. Trump was only elected in November 2016 and didn't take office until 2017.

OBAMA, your savior and Lord, had been president since early 2009.

Another discrepancy in your Kool Story, bro: Why did you, your wife, and your son ALL need mail in ballots if you actually lived in Utah as your primary residence?

Sounds to me like you were doing some kind of tax dodge where you had a mailing address in Utah to establish residency for tax purposes but probably spend most of your time with your family outside the state.

Yes?

No?

What kind of scam were you running? I'm curious.
