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.

I've not read the article - but i saw the headline on Drudge.

NBC News: Undersea cables cut in the Red Sea, disrupting internet access in Asia and the Middle East

as far as China - indeed. I wonder where they got so much money, so much knowhow from. Beats me. I was one of the few against Permanent Normalized Trade relations and WTO for China and I had loudly wished the fundraising scandals (Charlie Trie, Johnny Huang, etc) had been dug into along with missing secrets at Los Alamos.

But, hey, anything from fast food chains to EVs to SmartPhones....somehow China makes that stuff now and they are so similar to stuff made in a certain other country. And somehow they had this huge rich market to sell into.

In the end, i guess it's great. We got stock portfolios and cheap stuff...... what did they get?

Evne the most clueless american might start to realize.

Or not?
