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.

Gator1984: ...are really public servants...projecting solutions that may be completed in 6 months or less...

Right.

Gator1984: ...they are quickly fixing 50 year old processing issues that leave the government open to fraud...

Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625%.

The fact that intelligent people believe Musk -- whose trucks fall apart, whose cars burst into flames, and whose rockets explode -- is quite remarkable.

fortune.com - A doge staffer working as a senior advisor in the governments cybersecurity agency once provided tech support
