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.

Yet I couldn't vote for her -- was hell bent on not voting - and then thanks to consorting with Club 401K I was driven to vote Trump which I will be doing this week. I still think the Bush-Cheney-GoldmanSachs-Obama-Pelosi-Harris get out the vote is more strong and sophisticated. I'm the the swingiest county in the swingiest state and like everyone - inundated with texts, calls, emails etc but I've seen - Harris texts are MUCH more targeted and even slightly personalized. More attractive to read, better color schemes and bullet points.

Heck last night, *real* yoga moms - typical upper income white women with 401K husbands and hyphenated-sky-whatever last names and snobby PTA mom attitudes have been texting for real. THEIR PICTURE, in front of the local school or strip mall or whatever persuading women in the county to vote Harris ---that's strong and smart stuff I think.

Social Security - I feel Harris would be better for me.

ObamaCare - I feel Harris is better for me.

ObamaCare Mooch Subsidies - I am positive Harris is better for me.

Public education funding - I feel Harris is better for me.

Since 2005 I said openly: I want punishment for you people, while I milk every dime I can from your tribal country without paying into it. I've done MOST of that - and done it well. And Harris is more milk-able.

Yet - lol - I can't bring myself to do it and am actually adding insult to injury and voting Trump. I have *always* seen past policy differences. I've ALWAYS been able to praise politicians I didn't agree with but Harris I just can't get there.

JOE BIDEN (whom I miss so much)
BERNIE SANDERS
ANDY BESHEAR
JOSH SHAPIRO
LIZ WARREN (such a fake - like most white bubble dwelling 401K Liberals)

These are just a few Dems I'd have voted for this time around.

It's just such a joke on me - that the Bush-Cheney-GoldmanSachs-Obama-Pelosi-Schumer machine installed Harris.

So usually I laugh at you people but I admit - in 2024, joke's on me :)
