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.

Yeah, ignore the people that study this stuff for a living.

If 25M+ barrels of oil were shipping out of the strait, Trump would be bragging non-stop about how 250M+ barrels of oil were making it out of the strait (you remember he is a pathological liar, don’t you?) and Hegseth would be strutting around like a capon to impress the ignorant about how tough he is (although to be fair, he does that daily - all form, no substance, just like the entire Trump administration).

And yes, we’re losing to Iran because all of Trump’s decisions are made by his last-minute gut feeling. And to be fair (once again), Trump is carrying around a very large gut these days. The man does not look well. And to be be fair (yes, one more time), his cognitive ability is sinking faster than his approval rating. Look out below!
