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.

Now they're starting to get into stuff that even Reps care about. Climate change and DEI? They don't give a rip, or actively oppose. But state health services?? I'll bet a lot of the people affected will be Rep voters. AK is pretty red, and they're going to be hit hard...for example.

nytimes.com - Trump state health grants cuts

While initially authorized during COVID, Congress has continued the funding and directed it to other purposes. I expect a lawsuit based on the fact that Congress already authorized the spending.

The Trump administration’s cancellations of grants and contracts throughout the government has led to numerous lawsuits from states and nonprofit groups, which are still in their early stages. The health grants in question were authorized and appropriated by Congress, and their termination may lead to new lawsuits. Several states said they were exploring legal options.
