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.

When you live in wildfire country, you learn very quickly to not only respect the land but also your role in caring for it as mother nature can remind you of the consequences when you don't. Currently we're having a tough fire season in Washington state and the usual suspects are out with Blame Climate Change as the sole cause.

But is it? Not really.

'They won't let our cattle graze the land, so grass builds up into brush and catches on fire.
Then after a fire, they won't let loggers come in and clear out the scorched trees, which makes them burn even hotter in the next fire.
We need to get back to the basics of taking care of the land.'
