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.

FAA approves Trump's triumphal arch, requires 'eternal flame' on top

WASHINGTON - The Federal Aviation Administration approved President Donald Trump's "triumphal arch" near Arlington National Cemetery, after determining that the structure will not pose a threat to aircraft. But, the administration will require some additions to to the arch's design.

At more than 250 feet, the arch would stand more than twice as tall as the Lincoln Memorial. The FAA is requiring designers to include an "eternal flame" at the highest point in the structure, to make the arch more visible for pilots. The FAA's plan also requires continuous floodlights around the base of the arch, to keep it well-lit.

Can't have a normal aircraft beacon on it, like a radio or TV transmitter tower. It must be an "eternal flame", and the whole thing lit up. All for the greater glory of Trump the God.
