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.

Those folks are going to continue to believe they made the right choice in voting for Trump, and they're probably correct that voting for Trump was the right choice for them.

Yes embracing racism and hatred, protecting pedophiles, losing another costly war in the Middle East, causing the deaths of millions of children, destroying Americas standing in the world, driving many hundreds of thousands of Americans into poverty all while bankrupting the country and driving up interest rates was the right choice for them. Sure. #WINNING

According to studies highlighted by The Economist, the ending of USAID and severe cuts to foreign aid could result in 14 million to 22.6 million preventable deaths globally by 2030.

Economic analyses from The Budget Lab at Yale project that tariff hikes reduce purchasing power for low-income households through higher consumer prices.
This increase is estimated to push up to 875,000 more people below the poverty line, including an additional 375,000 children.
