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.

No, What most people want is a peaceful society free of imported criminals, terrorist sympathizers, and activists.

What most people want are good lives, very low crime, no terrorism, affordable housing and health care, and a decent retirement. The GOP primary reason for existence is to fuel division to give tax cuts to the rich. Trump gave a bog tax cut for the rich, and he's going to do it again. The cost of the government is being forced downward onto the middle and lower classes., while the upper class gets more money by tax cuts and carving themselves out tax breaks and other benefits. Trump will be bi different. He didn't run on tax cuts and breaks for the rich, but those will definitely happen. Social security, medicare, medicaid, SNAP, welfare definitely help those that are struggling and there is some fraud waste and abuse, but so far not enough fraud and abuse to merit the cuts that are being talked about.

So draining the swamp has morphed into cut half the government for tax cuts for the rich. And since the logistics of shipping out 11 million people are daunting they want to do away with rights and try stochastic terrorism on those assigned the role of protecting our rights. But the only thing that's virtually guaranteed is tax cuts for the rich - and oh yes -graft by Trump et al.

Trump is in the process of delivering up Ukraine to Putin. Who knows what he has gotten, and what he will get - not sure we know how to plumb the depths of the bitcoin universe.
