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 want to briefly share my appreciation for keeping our recent discussions distinct from the US Policy board.

Whilst that board has its place, it has been excellent to see recent posts here not drifting into US Presidential politics.

The ethos of "Atheist Shrewds" is that "anything goes, though even better when it goes with a philosophical and thoughtful slant".

To clarify: we avoid US politics at "Atheist Shrewds" not because it would be inherently off domain, but because those topics often (if not always) trigger an emotional avalanche. Once that starts, it tends to bury all other subjects, causing the discussion to lose its breadth and the pleasant spirit and caprice here.
