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.

He has my vote. {{ LOL }}

{{ President Donald Trump announced plans to send $90 payments to more than 20 million older Americans, with Trump tying the initiative to his broader push to lower health care costs.

The money would be drawn from about $2 billion set aside to improve Medicare’s hospital and medical insurance programs, which has not been used for that purpose since the initiative’s inception in 2008, administration officials said Saturday. Both parties have used the money, held in the Medicare Improvement Fund, in congressional budget maneuvers.

The payments will be sent to most Medicare Part B enrollees, with many of them receiving a $90 direct deposit this month, the White House said. Others will receive a check sent to the address on file with Medicare.
