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.

Another story you will NOT see on Fox "News"...

"More attacks on shipping in the strait, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil supplies moved before the start of the U.S. and Israel-led war on Feb. 28,
have been happening on a regular basis for weeks."

"At least two vessels were struck over the weekend in waters near Oman and Iran, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Centre reported,
as Tehran reiterated its position on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz would not reopen unless its conditions for ending the war with the U.S. are met."

"The ongoing attacks and prospect of a further escalation have driven energy prices higher in recent weeks,
raising inflation expectations globally and putting upward pressure on government borrowing costs."

Or as MAGA would say, "WINNING!"
