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.

Well, Biden wanted Congress to address the problem with a bipartisan solution, you know the way America is supposed to work. (Not just throwing executive orders at everything.)

Sure, that would be nice. I mean, sure, try, but it hasn't happened for decades (address the immigration issue, that is).

In the meantime, while nothing was happening in congress, and Biden could do something about it* but didn't, we had the biggest surge in immigration ever, people were pissed about it, and it was a large factor in us getting to enjoy another four years of TFG.

* we know this because he eventually did. See the article in the OP.
