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.

I needed a laugh this morning.

I admit to lurking at the UK Policy board sometimes. It's often shrill and rude, but on the other hand there is some actual information interspersed that's interesting. Random example:
US Consumer Sentiment officially falls to its lowest level on record going back to 1952, down another -10% last month. Consumers now expect inflation to rise 4.8% over the next 12 months. This puts the Consumer Sentiment index down -21% since February 2026, before the Iran War.
I looked it up to make sure it was correct (it is), and discovered that essentially none of the recent fall has been among Democrats, which I found interesting.

Anyway, that's where I found this for my own morning chuckle
Lambo writes on Kroger wants to know if it's you
Kroger is of course a Berkshire holding, so it's tangentially tangentially on topic.
