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.

es, you want a dictator.

You’re just not a serious person.

So only serious persons want dictators? Then I am not a serious person. Dope, your whole diatribe about the bill is just specious political propaganda. Bit Trump is on record as wanting to be a dictator for a day. He will subvert the government because he has the power of the executive to replace.

My solution to the non-returnable Chinese is to negotiate with tariffs in mind. Krugman pretty much said the dirty little secret about tariffs is that you have to go well above 10% before you cause harm. The Chinese economy is sluggish right now - so put it on the trade table and see if we can't get visas issued.

But I'm still not a serious person who wants a dictator.
