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.

Shane Parrish, at The Knowledge Project, made a terrific 56-minute podcast episode containing the lessons he learned in reading Kay Graham's memoir, Personal History, and watching the documentary film, Becoming Katharine Graham.

If you ever wanted to read her memoir and never got around to it or thought it looked too dense, here's a great chance to get a good quick flavor of it.

Bonus: It contains many valuable lessons for us today.
