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 suspect most people here are roughly my age, and had roughly the same civics classes I did. And yet your antagonist doesn't seem to know the basics of the three branches and separation of powers. Without even getting into the Legislative abrogating their responsibilities to the Executive for the past few decades (e.g. declaration of war).

Truly sad that many (most?) school districts today have eliminated civics entirely. How are young people today supposed to know anything about government if we don't teach it to them?

It will be interesting to see how many appointees actually are confirmed. Not all of the majority party are MAGA-heads, so I wouldn't think it would be a lock. They may take their jobs seriously, in which case Dr OZ and some others are DOA. And Gaetz apparently isn't very popular in his own party, so he'll have a rough time of it (I would think).
