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.

'We even still take a paper newspaper. The horror, the horror'

I recall my late father always looking at the stock quotes in the 70s before the sports, editorial & comics. I think an early interest developed and dozens of questions arose from those pages of stock quotes and my curiosity as to WTH they represented. I recall there was a small broker that in NC had a sign out front on a busy road that alternately flashed the time and DOW quote and had a variable light colored water fountain as well- strange the early influences that shape who we may become.

I have an Apple smartphone but feel like I am the last of my peer group to not have a Netflix subscription nor Amazon Prime membership!
