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.

It's enough to make you lose faith in the system. When I was young the old folks thought the world was going to hell. Now that I'm old... why does it look like America is going to hell? :)

Coming of age in the turbulent 60s with all the anti-war protests, race riots, politically motivated violence (remember all the bombings?)...these times with Trump seem much crazier and more perilous. Through all that strife back then we still had a mostly sensible government that functioned as intended by the framers of the Constitution. Now we seem to be prepared to jettison all that and go with a dictator. THAT I did not expect.
