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.

U.S. citizen, Army veteran arrested by ICE claps back at DHS ‘debunk’

Retes was detained by immigration agenda during a federal enforcement operation at a Camarillo cannabis farm in California on July 10, according to DHS. Retes, who says he was on his way to work, described being detained for three days without charges, access to an attorney or contact with his family. He described the encounter and its aftermath in an opinion piece for the San Francisco Chronicle and a newsletter. In a post on his newsletter and an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle, he said ICE officers used tear gas, broke his car window, and applied physical force, including kneeling on him, while he complied with their instructions.
