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.

(1) The US has moved too far along the spectrum of being uninvestable, like China. Not a stable regulatory/tax environment, capricious changes in the financial landscape, massive holes in the rule of law. (I suspect that the zone has been flooded sufficiently that some pretty dire developments have escaped the notice of many). That means an unacceptably high risk of unacceptably bad outcomes unrelated to the businesses themselves: wealth protection.

Leigh McGowan rants about a specific example of this destabilization of the legal and financial environment happening in Delaware and explains why it is not just a Delaware issue.
