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.

So, if you’re part of an armed militia who doesn’t have to identify themselves, and you break down the door of a U.S. citizen (who has not committed any crimes) in the middle of the night without a warrant, and destroy their private property, and handcuff them for hours without allowing them to make a phone call or tell them why you’ve handcuffed them, you’re a good cop.

But if you protect citizens who are exercising their Constitutional right to free speech and to assemble, you’re a bad cop.

Let me make this simple for you.

The armed militia being there isn’t to solve a problem.

The armed militia being there IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM!
