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.

OK, that's how a narcissist thinks. But how do you explain people of normal intelligence who look to this idiot as a person they respect, admire and happily vote for. Dope...I'm looking at you.

Typical "JC" tactic, when challenged on his decision making, is to shut down the critic with "I know things you don't know" or "I understand things you don't understand", without ever saying what those "things" are. In the case of RS President Bernie Appel, his response to store manager comments about RS pricing being uncompetitive were "I've been in this business 40 years. I know everything", and "We do people a favor, when we sell them our stuff". I was in the room, heard it with my own ears. People of normal intelligence fall in line with this nonsense, because they need to hang on to their job.
