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.

First point, "JCs", like Trump, waste enormous sums on "branding" changes all the time. What did it cost Peugeot to rename itself "Stellantis"? I have seen VW make a change in the font used in it's "Das Auto" slogan, a change so minor that it was only noticeable when the old and new were shown together. "JCs" waste money on the stupidest stuff, then cry they aren't making as much profit as they want, so cut production staff to make up the shortfall.

Trump said he wanted the change because “Defense is too defensive...we want to be offensive too if we have to be.”

The bunch that has killed tens of thousands of Palistinians, and leveled large parts of Gaza, is the Israeli Defense Force.
