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.

Yep. But who he used to work for is hand in hand with the Wall Street-Goldman Sachs-etc axis.

And right now they are being shit on.

As someone who has always believed that whether it's Bush or Clinton or Trump--- *certain* entities get to control the big picture - one way or another.

So I'm wondering - are said entities going to allow this to continue IN EXCHANGE for something juicy - like an Iran war or bigger war?

OR are said entities going to deal with what they feel is a big problem.

Bessent was Wall Street's boy in this administration.

Hence I'd love to know his thinking and private commentary at this point.

I'll repeat: If there's no major war thing, and no major change in course---- keep being nice to VP Vance....be real nice to him.
