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.

"But a great day for the oligarch class."

It is a sure thing that the big ugly bill passes thru the House. Any verbal wailing done
by MAGA Reps is strictly theatrical, just like Murkowski and Hawley etal in the Senate.

But I look at this as a necessary step in the growth of the American working class.
They, as a group, voted for this. Now it is time for them to start to feel what they
voted for. FAFO and all that it entails. The rest of us will see if the lessons take hold
by the mid terms in 2026, or if they are going to swallow all of Trump's bullshit
excuses as all MAGA politicians scramble for cover as the fallout of this bill hits.

I expect to hear a lot of "It's Biden's fault" excuses. We'll see if the voters are still
stupid enough to believe it, or if for once they hold MAGA responsible for the string of
lies they are feeding them. Really curious to see how the rural white and urban Latino
voters choose to vote, as they are gonna bear the brunt of this ugly budget bill. I expect the
rural whites to go down with the Trump ship. Not sure about the Latino's.

People like us will get scraped by all of Trump's megalomaniacal delusions he is foisting
on the Country, but not nearly as bad as the MAGA base are going to feel it.
