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.

Agree. I’ve been watching it off and on for the last ten years or so (ever since I noticed most things rolling down hospital corridors - from mop pails to nurses’ consoles to pharmacy carts - were Rubbermaid-branded. Add in all the storage bins being wheeled out of Costco or Home Depot every time I go, and a collection of drying-out Sharpies in every conference room - it seems like it should be a tamper-resistant business.

It think of it as the prototype of a company that should be doing better than it is. Poor financial mgmt and C-suite discord seem to have been the issues.
