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.

There's talk that Mad King Donald is considering awarding 19-year-old Edward Coristine -- AKA "Big Balls" -- the highest civilian honor in the United States, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. If so, he will join the ranks of Martin Luther King Jr., Jonas Salk, Mother Teresa, Thurgood Marshall, Jimmy Carter, and Rosa Parks.

He will also be the first to receive the honor solely for getting his ass kicked by a 15-year-old girl. Although in fairness, that assault may also be the catalyst for the American version of the burning of the Reichstag.

But I gotta' say, awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom for being the catalyst for Mad King Donald to consolidate his control by exploiting the event to instill fear and suspend civil liberties, ultimately paving the way for a totalitarian regime is just too insane even for this insane timeline.
