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.

Because time is different on the ethereal plane, Rob Reiner and Donald Trump arrive at the Pearly Gates at the same time.

St. Peter: What did you do in your life to improve your fellow human's lives, to bring people joy?

Rob Reiner: I think that I made some movies that made people happy for a short while during their brief lives.

SP: Can you name some? We don't have a lot of time to spend watching movies here. We're pretty busy what with all the wars, famines, and disease on Earth.

RR: I directed The Princess Bride, ...

SP: INCONCEIVABLE!!! And yes, I know what that means, and yes it is not really inconceivable since everyone alive eventually shows up here. But I never will have another chance to say that to you. We all love that movie! Welcome home, Rob.

RR: But, I'm Jewish.

SP: Yep, so was I. Hell, so was the big Kahoona's kid.

SP: (Turning to Donald Trump) And how about you? What did you do in your life to improve your fellow human's lives, to bring people joy?

DT: I spent time with some Puerto Ricans tossing them paper towels after a hurricane. I laughed so they must have been happy too.

SP: ... and ...

DT: I gave billions in tax cuts, and people like me were overjoyed to get them.

SP: ... and ...

DT: Everyone I partied with at Jeffery's ...

SP: Stop! (A great maw opens up between DT and SP.) Luci, we've got one for you.
