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.

They should be screaming at their congress-critters and threatening to vote THEM out.

And they seems to get herded away from that by blaming the Dems. Seems at odds because there are times where the Repubs control everything and should work on immigration, but apparently it's too lucrative a vote getter - so there's really no incentive to fix it - and a disincentive to fix it as its an easy vote getter. When was the last time a serious attempt was made to fix it that failed? Why did it fail?

So everything points to - we are stuck and there is no way out. We've been screwed for some time. Fairly bleak.
