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.

The two of you had a serious lengthy and productive discussion. Finally valuable posts again here. Then one sentence:
.....you seem to unfortunately resort to unproductive rhetoric.

which might not have been nice, right. But to see that as "condescending insult[s]"? As a German with our reputation in the English speaking world to be so direct it´s bordering on rudeness I´d say: Don´t be so overly sensitive and reactive. No need to pay it back doubly with:
.....let’s just see if I can explain in a way that even YOU can understand

But done, ok, so you two are even and no need for
.....Goodbye

90+% of all posts here are boringly uninteresting. Shoulder-clapping how great Berkshire is, endless always the same wishes for dividends, for buybacks etc. etc. Finally a valuable real discussion you two had. Good!

Pussies. Don´t ever holiday in Germany. You couldn´t stand it.
