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.

From Gemini….

“The other three companies that have held the top spot in the ranking's history are:
General Motors (GM) – The ultimate heavyweight of the mid-to-late 20th century, GM dominated the top spot for nearly 40 years following the list's inception, fueled by the postwar automotive and manufacturing boom. 
ExxonMobil (originally Standard Oil of New Jersey / Jersey Standard) – The energy giant repeatedly broke GM's streak and climbed to number one during major oil boom periods in the 1970s, 1980s, and 2000s. 
Walmart – The retail juggernaut completely transformed the list in the 21st century, holding the absolute number one position for more than two decades before being displaced by Amazon.”
