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.

Or, rather, "still".

Except we're well beyond the 90 day limit. So, if albaby is correct and Congress isn't funding this, where's the money coming from for the continued hostilities? Albaby asserted that if Congress doesn't release money, it can't go on (as I understood him). Well....???

Meanwhile, the Felon is threatening to seize Kharg Island.

IMO, we should just give up on using the Strait ever again. It will be cheaper (and less susceptible to disruption) if we find a way around the Strait. Big Business won't like it. Either pay the Iranians extortion, continue to waste our expensive missiles, or find a way around. I hate the first two options, so that leaves option 3 (which isn't ideal either, but better than the other two).
