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.

I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots. I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy rolled out failed.”
Jamie Dimon


Like many others, I too was surprised to read this. However...

In this this thread, I think people are reading this as if Jamie was referring to all policies. From reading the early reporting such as from news.bgov.com - Dimon blasts idiots in democratic party focused on ideology

I believe the comment was made specifically in the context of diversity, equity and inclusion.

This is a topic where I guess it is a little less surprising to find people expressing strong views.
