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.

On January 20, 2025 the world entered a new era in which America made a unilateral unprovoked and monstrously stupid choice to abandon the world order it had built and painstakingly maintained, and replaced it with chaos. That kind of shattering of trust will, IMHO, never be repaired.


Unfortunately, I think you're right. We've got travelers here, so we need them to report back, and it's not lost on me that many people here have business contacts and friends overseas. In the coming months we need to hear it. I didn't make any moves, should have. I think I'm too late, but are there any foreign currency funds or TIPS funds in Schwab? I think this is going to continue.

I'm headed to the Philippines for a month, but they have a very favorable view of the US... so far.
