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.

Dont have to agree or disagree with someone or something 100%. That's for sheeple and the rest of the tribal sub-stack-MSNBC-Fox CockTards.

While Reich would be a bit too Progressive for me in some respects, he also was to me, a Typical 401K Whole Foods Faculty Lounge Liberal.

And he was.

But I was just reading up on him a bit and found that despite helping Bill Clinton and 401K Democrats and Newt Gingrich and Wall Street Journal Republicans pass NAFTA----he later admitted it was WRONG and bad for the American worker and American Middle Class and he's subsequently opposed similar deals like TPP.

For someone to be able to critically think for themselves---and to admit that either they were wrong OR that their view has to change due to new facts on the ground is something I admire.

Good job Secretary Reich----or as Limbaugh used to say Reisssssssssssssssssssssssssh-uh. :)
