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 don't need to tell anyone to do anything. Your WHITESUPREMACISTS nonsense carries about as much weight as calling Republicans terrorists and/or Nazis.

Then don't come complaining about people calling some in your party terrorists and fascists, simple. Winning this election doesn't mean you aren't going to get a comeuppance. You harbor domestic terrorists - live with that. You harbor fascists and proto-fascists - live with that and don't whine about it. You have a serious White Christian Nationalist problem also that's really just white christian racism.

We can probably survive Trump. We are going to have to deal with why we lost, but I'm doing OK because Albaby prepped me for this. The problem is how far Trump will go is X the unknown. If the tariffs are ~10% we should be able to handle that. Krugman did a piece on tariffs when Trump proposed and levied the first ones. Greater than 10% and it's anybodies guess. If Trump tries mass deportation we are in for a bad time I think. We can handle deporting criminal illegals and even revoking citizenship on criminals I think. But I think mass deportations will cause huge problems.

I think our reputation worldwide has taken and will take more of a huge hit. I wasn't prepared to read some of the criticisms of the USA on X that I was reading.
