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.

Wonder if this will be featured on Fox?

Yes felcher, FoxNews, fair and balance reported the rise in price of heating oil.

“AI Overview
Yes, Fox News reported that the statewide average price for home heating oil in Maine reached $5.77 per gallon, which is about 74% higher than the $3.32 price recorded at the same time the previous year.
Key Details
• The Report: The figure was cited in a Fox News article covering a letter from Maine's U.S. senators urging the president to release emergency home heating oil reserves.
• The Increase: The $5.77 average (as of mid-September 2026) marked a roughly 74% increase compared to September 2025, driven by surging global energy costs and regional supply constraints”
