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.

Well, sure ya' gotta' have a helluva big distraction when people will be going hungry and their ACA premiums will triple. A lot of shit's about to fly beginning tomorrow and there's nothing like an illegal, unconstitutional, and impeachable rush to war to get the media a' buzzin and the cult applauding.

The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald, as the U.S. prepares to initiate the next stage of its campaign against the Soles drug cartel. Sources told the Herald that the targets — which could be struck by air in a matter of days or even hours — also aim to decapitate the cartel’s hierarchy. U.S. officials believe the cartel exports around 500 tons of cocaine yearly, split between Europe and the United States.

Wag that dog.

Helluva way to lobby for next year's Nobel Peace Prize, though.
