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.

She gave the gov a chance to redraw it and they declined.

SNIP A federal judge has approved a new state Senate district map for Montgomery in a lawsuit that alleged Black voters in the capital city area were packed into one district in violation of the Voting Rights Act.

U.S. District Judge Anna Manasco, a Trump appointee, issued the ruling Monday, approving a map drawn by the same court-appointed special master team that redrew Alabama’s congressional map two years ago in another case alleging a violation of Section Two of the Voting Rights Act.

Alabama’s state Senate map, approved by the Legislature in 2021 and used in the 2022 election, was challenged in a lawsuit by Black voters and by Greater Birmingham Ministries and the Alabama State Conference of the NAACP. END

It ain't over yet, give another judge(s) a chance to say it's political, not racial.
