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.

His track record certainly validates that concern. Agree?

No. Biden extended Title 42 as long as he could. Everything else has been according to present US law.

This is the chance to change that law. If Senate Reps and Dems are even close to a compromise, that is huge. I don't even have to know what's in it. It's bipartisan, and so has stuff both sides hate and stuff both sides can live with. Such is compromise.

Otherwise, things will continue as they are, which you have made very clear you loathe. Don't worry, the Reps would never consider making the border looser.

IMHO, it's sacrificing the good in the name of the perfect. Progressives do that with tantrums voting for a candidate that has no chance (or not voting) instead of picking the least bad. Extreme right appears to be the same. Which is sad. Johnson should ignore them and LEAD (he is allegedly a 'leader'). But it looks like he won't.
