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.

Sometimes, I am a bit slow turning the TV off after the "news", and catch the beginning of FF. Every time, Harvey says "we got a good one for you today". Just once. Just once. I would like to see him say "this show is going to zuk. these people could not speak in complete sentences if you paid them."

Agree.

I guess it's obviously in human history --things change.

Even basic language, sentence structure, or the use of an apostrophe :) Maybe make usage there they're their a graduation requirement along with "how not to get yourself a 500 credit score right off the bat".

I love aspects of the tech revolution ----but between Digital dumbing people down, to bad culture, to the WhazzupDawg and the Trailer Park concurrently taking over the mentalities of a plurality of people -- I'm not optimistic.

I hope I'm wrong.

But it's not all bad I guess. One group will continue to transfer wealth to another group.

I guess it's how one tackles it.

All I know is a good part of my life I used to see many young E1/E2 kids fresh in military. Young black kids 20 years old. Freaking Zales jewelry account gone bad and boom - -540 FICO and debt to start out with.

Tis why even in early 2000s I was talking CULTURE on TMF. Not "don't have an abortion." Not "noun verb rapture "---but true culture. Lifestyles. Family structures. Societal norms. It's also I had written a few quiet posts back then on how to make tons off bad culture and I mentioned "CACC" symbol a few times..... especially around 2002 and 2009 again.
