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.

Yeah, as I've admitted sometimes I get weak.

Seeing the Fed in an orange jumpsuit - somehow doesn't sit well with me and I hope Powell is clean.


If there's "cost overruns" - ok, sure, it happens and this is just Trump wreaking havoc over Fed policy - something he'd not know a thing about.

BUT, as someone who HAS fudged taxpayers ....as someone who HAS benefitted from "overruns" - I'll just reserve judgement.

It's not hard to do at all but again I'd be shocked that the Fed Chair even knows who the contractors are.

If you have a good speaking relationship and can do things on a nod and a wink - fun stuff can ensue :) I just don't see these academic types being able to do that, or even giving a shit enough to do that.. They have bigger fish to fry.
