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.

Hacking election machines? I remember when the predecessor to this board was convinced that DIEBOLD was going to destroy muh democracy. That, like many left wing positions, has been memory holed by the people who used to scream it.

iirc, that was addressed after 2004. The old touch screen machines did not produce a hard copy that could be compared to the totals in the register. Since then, the touch screen machines are required to produce a printed copy that the voter can compare to what he input, before finalizing his vote. The slips of paper are then put in a secure ballot box, as backup to the totals in the machines. Where I live, we use optically scanned paper ballots, so there is always a hard copy to compare with the totals in the tabulators.

We Know Better types in the IC were hiding things from the President.

As I asked before, why would they do that, in the case of China? Chinese security threats have been widely publicized in the US, and elsewhere. Chinese telcom equipment was banned some years ago. Chinese "connected cars" are banned in the US, though, somehow, the CEO of Ford thinks he is entitled to a waiver.

270k foreign nationals voting?

Certainly a concern, if true. So, show us the proof. Should be easy, as he stated it as a fact. If he can't show any proof, then it becomes that folded list of Communists that Joe McCarthy kept waiving, but never showed.
