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.

Nothing that I or you or elan or any of the other posters here thinks makes any difference. We're just yelling at the sky.

I don't think it is as hopeless as you seem to suggest; individuals can make a difference. Some quotes from people who had a different opinion.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” – Theodore Roosevelt
A reminder that small actions can make a big impact, especially when resources are limited.

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Change often starts within; leading by example can inspire others.

“In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” – Albert Einstein
Challenges can often be a catalyst for growth and innovation.

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” – Peter Drucker
Proactive efforts to shape a situation can lead to better outcomes.
