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.

Swerve. This election is why I think the republicans need to end democracy before 2026.

Saw a piece on Pakman last night, speculating that his nibs might be fine with the shutdown, not want it to end. It sort of dovetailed with my speculation that Johnson is fine with the House being shut down, because he realizes Congress no longer has a role to play in the government. The shutdown is certainly every "JC's" moist fantasy: forcing Proles to work for free.

Remember the early 90s, when the "JCs" leveraged that mild recession to demand "give backs" from their Proles? It got to be a routine thing, take a pay cut, take a benefit cut, take another pay cut. I remember the news talking to one guy, whose employer had his hand out again. He said "it's like giving to the Community Chest. every year they are back for more".

I'm pretty sure that is what will happen when the Dems finally cave on the ACA subsidies. Next year, the regime will defund another program.
