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.

Well, it's easy to see why:

Da net:

"2025 Farm Bankruptcies (to date)
The financial distress has intensified in 2025, with a significant surge in filings.

In the first six months of 2025, there were 181 Chapter 12 bankruptcies, a 57% jump compared to the first half of 2024.
Some sources indicate that by mid-2025, the total number of filings had already exceeded the full-year total for 2024.
The rate of filings in the first quarter of 2025 was nearly double that of the first quarter of 2024."

Farmers generally are MAGA. There is no joy in Mudville.
