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.

Hey! It's amazing how the old "paste with italics tags" macro is still so serviceable in my muscle memory. Like an old friend. It was Chris, right? You, not the macro.

Yup, it's Chris. Sorry to hear about Maureen's diagnosis. I hope you find useful information that helps her care. This is a heavy thing to have happen
at 40.

I'm retired now and a grandfather. Mostly playing pickleball and goofing with embedded processors these days.
(And it is wonderful that Manlobbi has made this nice haven for those of us that enjoyed the old Fool vibe.)
Planning on holding my Berkshire stock until I need to sell it a bit at a time to cover living expenses.

Chris
