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 know you know all this, but for those who don't .................)

IIRC, Americans can't legally vote on Prez election, so these are all foreigners placing
their money. Plus the bookie is always trying to jigger the odds so that the betting pool
is balanced ( money on each side of bet ).

I honestly don't trust any of the polls, even the ones that have Harris winning.
Very much distrust the polls that show trump winning.

Personal anecdote, it feels like Harris is going to win by a lot more than Biden did
( popular vote ). Harris voters aren't usually making public displays in my red area, but
I see slightly more Harris signs that trump signs. trump supporters tend to be loud and
obnoxious, and they seem to plant multiple signs. They also plant signs on property
that don't belong to them, been some angry posts by non trump supporters yanking trump signs off of their property. Harris supporters are well aware of yahoos like the Ohio sheriff telling
trump supporters to make note of the addresses of where Harris signs are located. Implicit
threat of retribution. I'm pretty suspicious of some of these LEO's, even in my area, so
no public displays on my property.
