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.

DOGE Wants Businesses to Run Government Services ‘As Much As Possible’

What Happened: Musk is driving a massive privatization push across federal agencies. From mail delivery and public lands to foreign aid and weather forecasting, the Trump regime is quietly transferring public functions to private firms—echoing both conservative and Silicon Valley ideologies.

Why It Matters: This is a hostile takeover of the U.S. government. Musk and Trump are trying to hand public services to the private sector—gutting accountability and shredding the social safety net. Essential agencies will collapse, and what’s left of American agencies will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
