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.

Which thread Subjects do you think would be better posted on either the US Policy board or the Political Asylum board?

In my mind the "ICE Keeping us Safe from MS13" is probably better addressed elsewhere. If it was about how ICE raids and the National Guard in DC are killing restaurant and tourist business that would probably fit here.

I think the "Deportation as a revenue generator" thread could go either way.

Unlike Intel, US Steel, and Nvidia, I have not seen any government involvement in the Cracker Barrel story. It, like Target's bad earnings, is a macroeconomic story with political overtones. That is the world we live in. But it is still largely economic.

I prefer people to call out their objections specifically rather than generally. So the ones I mentioned are how I see things. YMMV
