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.

Nothing quite says fascism like armed and masked agents assembled outside the Japanese American National Museum in the Little Tokyo neighborhood of Los Angeles -- history rhymes, dontchaknow -- as the governor is about to speak.

More than a dozen Border Patrol agents turned up in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday at a rally and news conference that Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding on congressional redistricting.

The governor’s event had nothing to do with immigration, and local elected officials expressed outrage that the federal agents decided to stand there in a brazen show of force outside a museum where Mr. Newsom and other leaders were speaking.


Well, they did manage to arrest a man who was in the area delivering strawberries.

Umm, DOGE, I have a tip on government waste and fascist abuse fer' ya'.
