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.

“In a bit” is the answer given by many teenaged boys when their girlfriends ask them when they’re going to pull out.

As noted before, I have a long history of bosses who would ask me to cut my throat, for their benefit, now, with a promise they would "take good care" of me, later. Of course, when "later" came, they always had an excuse for not fulfilling their promise, but, now, they want me to cut my throat, for them, again, for promises of great things for me, later.

His nibs is a "JC", with a track record of lying. I don't give any credit at all, to his promises of doing great things for people later, if they give him what he wants now.

Trump is probably playing Rubio too, letting him think he will see his Bay Of Pigs II, if he's a good lap dog now.
