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.

LOL

I went to the Kebab restaurant. Of course where I live in Club 401K Land the snobs don't allow yummy food, especially good ethnic food. They like their pretentious farm-to-fork so all the Wall Street and Law partner types can go have shitty lukewarm food and leave shitty tips. So usually most days I drive 25-30 mins out for good and In Bensalem, PA is some really good stuff.

Naturally - the strip malls with the great Afghani or Pakistani or Indian restaurant will have stuff like Kumon tutoring or insurance agents ---- not $200 hair cuts, beepers, chrome rims, and vendors of that sort----- that you'll find-----elsewhere and just follow the net worth and crime stats to see if culture matters.

Anyway I did have a chuckle. I used to do "Freedom Fries" yet here I am on 9-11 enjoying awesome Afghani/Pakistani food--- literally the walls have paintings of the mountains in the AfghanPakistan border areas. I'm thinking - hey, it was planned in one place, and the Taliban was partially funded by the other place and dumb fuck Americans ---sare too culturally ignorant to get it. So, if they get it, they....get 'it' and I only hope it's Europe who actually deserves it ---not America, where people of all stripes can flourish.

Of course it's a lovely nuclear family that runs the place. (No birth out of wedlock, no baby daddy, no tattoo and LuLulemon...just work, capitalism, profits, thrift, saving.... they got that Beaver Clear American spirit that we used to ) His teenage son and well spoken daughter weren't there because school is on. Fella's wife just giggles if he and I talk about 'houris' so she's a cool dude also.

Couldn't. imagine my self 20 years ago or whenever the hell this thing happened I dont even want to expend the effort to remember how many years ago.

To boot I had two screens open n my laptop---- A fan made Star Wars story on youTube and a story on Mr Piker--I had never read much detail about him.

And I have NOT one beef with either of those. Like Sheeple - I am have no beef be it with Reverend Wright or Mr Piker.

I hope El Sayed wins and and inspires like minded people in Europe to do the same.

I can conclude now---who won this day those decades ago

I know exactly who has prevailed for sure.

May it be so especially in Europe---by any and all means.

(I speak of letter writing campaigns and sit ins of course----nothing wild.....)(

BAAAAAAAA I'm home and actually full now which rarely happens to me. Mostly healthy too but for the lovely bread and rice.
