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.

This is why I am scared. Because politicians and media are so switched into line, with the few critical voices pushed into a corner and labeled "Putin-Versteher" (Literal: "Putin Understander", but meant dismissive, not in the usual positive way "understanding" is meant). It is a circle, and with the word "Diplomacy" not even allowed ("Are you one of those 'Putin Versteher'?") I don´t see a way out.

A rottweiler isn't particularly concerned that a chihuahua is yapping at him.

Germany is self-deleting itself. When the events on 2015-2016 New Year's Eve in Cologne, Germany happened, I said to myself, "Man, they have stepped in it now! German men will not accept that AT ALL."
And ... nothing happened.

Then Germany shut down all their nuclear power plants, and killed their industries.



However did we get to this topic on the Berkshire board? Things are that slow?
