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.

And I also read of one Jan 6er that refused Trump's pardon. He said he was no longer MAGA and that what he had done on Jan 6 couldn't be pardoned. (The article didn't tell us what he did though.) Somehow he got deprogrammed. :)

I'm actually concerned about the people who are going to get hurt by Trump stumbling around in his authoritarian way, aided and abetted by co-conspirators some of whom are damn well happy to dismantle democratic protections. One of the reasons people go into government work is that it is stable and you get a decent retirement. So what we have is a malevolent Baby Huey turned loose with the Executive Power.

and now it's "let the Governor do it" for disasters - unless it's a red state, then they'll get aid. He talks about people not being able to vote because of no voter ID - what a crock - I used my driver's license while there, but once you're registered, acceptable ID is expansive, which means more people can vote, not less, so he wants less. These whimsical requirements for blue states getting disaster aid is just a crock.
