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 wall will go up, and that was the point.

Fine. Build the stupid wall. Build it across every inch of our border with Mexico. That’s a fight no longer worth fighting. In fact, build it now and as fast as you can.

It’s a waste of time and money. But the MAGA fools won’t understand that until its built and fails to do the job it was promised to do. It will have a marginal effect at best. It will be a maintenance nightmare and cost way more than expected.

Some people are simply incapable of learning from the past. They cannot learn from the experience of others. They must experience it for themselves to actually learn.

But at least it will provide jobs. And it won’t actually hurt people.

So have your little play toy to distract you while the adults come up with real solutions to the problem.
