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.

Having 2 new military bases in volatile ME regions could lead potential conflicts that could have macroeconomic impact on the USA.

Nah. We already have 19 of them there. I say round it up to a nice even two dozen, then just take the goddamn place over, like we did with the native Americans. I don’t know what we’ll do with all the people there, round them up and put them on reservations maybe. We’re getting some practice with that now what with ICE raids and all.

Ah, it’s a bright new future, and almost exactly what he promised. Except for the war part, and the prices rising, and the cruelty and White House destruction and stuff. But hey, wasn’t that flyover great?!
