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.

On any given day I frankly don't know whose side I'm on in that conflict. Frankly - if the whole region didn't exist - I think the world could have a cherry coke and just go on ---probably better off.

BUT......

Gotta say it.

Israel is a badass. Mossad, all the missions to date. And even now---what they are pulling off.

Yes, their power within American politics is a huge boon but even without that, these people have faced down literal extermination attempts, and have built a thriving, productive, happy, innovative country out of dirt and dogs-shit.

While their neighbors- "certain" folks - oil rich and with more population ---have't done shit but stay in the dark ages.

Like em or not, one has to tip the hat.
