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.

Here is another one of Carlin's that is timely too.

Just in case you think it isn't you might read this.

"Dialog": A Secret Society of Bond Supervillains Who Are Part of the Epstein Class and Intent on Destroying the World
Techno-fascist friend of Epstein, Peter Thiel, has assembled a bipartisan club of elite influencers and CEOs from around the world to strategize world domination.

I enjoy reading comic books and watching ridiculous action movies, such as the Bond series. They have larger-than-life heroes and absurd, theatrical supervillains who monologue about their evil plan to take over the world and crush their enemies. They were once seen as escapist entertainment because they were so far removed from reality.

Well, now art reflects life reflects an international cabal of bipartisan perverts, fascists and elitists who all meet together at an exclusive retreat to discuss heartwarming topics ranging from “How to Build a Cult” to “Navigating WWIII.”

After wine and dinner, they muse about “Money (Does?) Buy Happiness” and “Bring Back Nuclear,” which would be fine if it wasn’t some of the most powerful people on Earth, including the Founders of Google, Senators Ted Cruz and Corey Booker, Ezra Klein, Jared Kushner, Scott Bessent, the CEO of YouTube, Leonard Leo, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, among nearly 200 others.

Who’s the host of this lovely soirée? Why, it’s none other than white nationalist, techno-fascist Peter Thiel, who was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein and shared his disdain for democracy and multiculturalism. He has also groomed JD Vance and hand-delivered him to the White House to be Trump’s VP. Thiel has never hidden his fascist ways, but, hey, why miss out on an opportunity to hobnob at an exclusive retreat, am I right?

It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.
