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.

syracuse.com - NY state young republicans stiffed syracuse hotel for lavish party before racist chat ended their run

When the New York State Young Republicans Club disbanded Friday amid an uproar over its racist and antisemitic rhetoric in a group chat, the club left behind unpaid bills from extravagant social gatherings.

At two of those events, the club ran up bills of more than $23,000 over a weekend at a Syracuse hotel – spending big on a three-course plated dinner with filet mignon and open bars – but then didn’t pay, according to records obtained by syracuse.com.

The Embassy Suites Hotel at Destiny USA hosted the club’s summer awards dinner last year, making a rare exception to its rule for customers to pay in advance of using its banquet facilities.

But the hotel’s goodwill quickly evaporated as its managers spent four months trying to collect what it was owed, according to billing documents and dozens of internal emails reviewed by syracuse.com.

The hotel’s increasingly urgent emails requesting payment were met with a series of excuses by Peter Giunta, 31, the club president who gained national notoriety last week for his “I love Hitler” group chat.
