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.

Someone used to say the day of political violence being NORMALIZED in your country needs to arrive.'

I am so encouraged by the OP


Now we need a decade and then this stuff happens between state senators and their staffs. At the ballot box. Daily normalized mayhem and killings.

And when you say "fact of life"

At that point - I am satisfied with politics.

But this - is an excellent first step.

PAGING PUTIN AND OTHERS: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T HURT OUR LEADERS ON EITEHR SIDE. IT'LL ONLY HELP DIVIDE AMERICA AND CREATE CHAOS.....AND YOU DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

AND PLEASE FON'T TARGET MID-LEVEL GOVERNMENT WORKERS. THEY HAVE NO GUARDS, NO SECURITY, THEY DO THE NITTY GRITTY AND THE GRUNT WORK THAT THE BUREACRACY NEEDS...... IF YOU TARGET THEM, IT WOULD BE SO EASY AND THEN OUR COUNTRY WOULD HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH VITAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS. SO PLEASE, DIPLOMACY INSTEAD.

I guess Internet cafes might be in my future.
