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.

First the master of whining to the ref got Belgium-slapped in front of the whole world. No World Cup trophy for you, mister. Back to your UFC Thunderdome.

And now Iran is back on like Donkey Kong.

Which is puzzling, isn't it? Because that Iran cease-fire was locked in by our highest-level diplomatic corps, who absolutely know what they are doing in complex international negotiations—like Trump's son-in-law Gollum Kushner, ecclesiastical know-it-all and couch-wank enthusiast Just Dandy Vance, plus that strip mall guy. After literally minutes of brutal back and forth, they ended up grudgingly giving Iran everything it wanted, and more than it started with.

So here goes the price of oil. And food prices. And world inflation.

Iran is probably drafting its own Memorandum of Understanding:

"Understand that you shouldn't have started this, President Epstein."
