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.

Just the way I feel about people who want to hurt gay people or brown people...

Yes, particularly children...
Firearms are currently the leading cause of death for children in the United States. This situation is unique to the United States.
Every attempt democrats have made to protect American children from gun violence has been blocked by republicans.
Republicans need to stop ignoring the carnage they are responsible for.

Also Child poverty is up sharply, because the republicans in Congress (plus Manchin and Sinema) refused to renew the expanded Child Tax Credit in President Biden's American Rescue Plan.

Lastly tariff are a regressive tax: they will disproportionately punish lower-income Americans, raising the cost of living for those least able to absorb it.

Apologies to the board for OT post.
