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.

Call it whatever you will.

I call it "wrong". Alternatively phrased, it's a false premise.

Countries are leaving the United States and its corruption behind and seeking stability and trade agreements among themselves- and with China.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Steve nailed it the other day: In 10 years Europe won't have much of an auto industry left.
The left used to rail against the "Race to the bottom" with respect to "Cheap Wal Mart goods" and decried "the hollowing out of the middle class". So why are you guys so vehemently against a partial decoupling from China?

Did you think that after them having Most Favored Nation status and literally trillions of dollars in US capital and consumer dollars flowing over there - to the detriment of manufacturing here at home - that it would be simple to extricate ourselves from that?

Why cede control of vital minerals and supplies to the CCP?

You can continue attempting to put lipstick on this overgrown man-pig, but even you must be growing tired of it.

No, what I'm tired of is an entire political movement that can't see the forest for the trees. Instead all of you march right up to the closest alder in the Ponderosa forest and start declaring that the specific vein of bark you're looking at through your microscope is representative of every tree in the forest when it turns out you're not even looking at the right kind of tree.

Nowhere is this more evident than Canada's liberal party, but at least for them I can understand their (craven) motives: Decades of liberal governance has Canada ranked LAST in growth among the major economic powers.

LAST. As in, dead last.

So Carney and his buddies need some scapegoat to stay in power. Guess who the perpetual scapegoat for all of Canada's politics has been for the last 20 years?

EDITORIAL: Poilievre was right about everything
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s epiphany on pipelines is only one example of the Liberals’ many conversions on the road to Damascus.
