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.

Very misleading.

Your country (outside of 401Kville) is not content. Part of it is the socioeconomic shit you people peddled for decades. Part of it is family breakdown and a departure from many socioeconomic traditions and norms.

So whether Trump is in power or Dems are in power, there is true structural unrest.

Biden's economic numbers were awesome...... and people thought it was all misery.

Give it time.....barring a major uptick in housing sales spurred on by public policy.....Trump numbers will indeed be in the shitter-----especially if Republicans stick to the Medicaid and ACA policies.

At that point.....

It's a question of - do you want a 50.1% win and shout here how you beat MAGA?

OR do you want a governing majority that gets a few big things done that lasts a generation or so.

For the first time in my life, I feel like i am indeed seeing Rome all over again.

I'm worried. Not now -- now, we are still ahead of all the sissy mary countries of the world. By a mile.

But culture and human capital - is DEPRECIATING in your country.

And it's happening fast.

I guess i'm weak today -- i dont like to see it especially when I feel that we have a chance to fix it - maybe if we do it within the next 10 years after which, has-been status is coming and i don't give a shit just how great our tech companies are.
