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.

The campaign never really wanted anything to do with Joe...and now they're kicking him out for good:

barrons.com - Biden sidelined by harris as stink brews over garbagegate

Joe Biden has been sidelined by Kamala Harris in the final days of her campaign, with his apparent description of Donald Trump supporters as "garbage" underscoring her campaign's fears that the outgoing president is an electoral liability.

Since dropping out of the White House race in July, the 81-year-old Democrat has been hitting the trail to support his vice president -- and trumpet his own administration's achievements.

But US media reported earlier this week that Harris's campaign was distancing itself from the incumbent, and that it had politely rejected his suggestions to make more joint appearances on the stump.

The row over Biden's latest comments has now crystallized concerns that he is more of a hindrance than a help to her election bid's final push.

"Harris should obviously avoid many joint appearances with Biden until after the election is over," said Larry Sabato, a leading US political scientist and director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics.

"Biden is quite unpopular and he's also rusty and off his game."

Indeed.
