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.

Trump says Walmart will lower prices after White House request

President Donald Trump said Monday that Walmart has agreed to lower prices on a range of products after a request from his administration tied to the nation's 250th anniversary celebrations.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Walmart would reduce the price of a pound of ground beef by "almost" 15%. He did not provide details on when the discounts would begin or which other products would be included.

Fact check: Cheaper Walmart Thanksgiving meal touted by Trump has fewer items than last year’s

President Donald Trump keeps touting the fact that Walmart’s promotional Thanksgiving meal basket is cheaper this year than it was last year. But Trump hasn’t mentioned that this year’s basket is different than last year’s – in particular, that it contains significantly fewer items.

But the Proles have the memory of a gnat, so it keeps working.
