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.

That's a goooood question. I don't have a good answer. If young men want to be racist, but no seen as racist - how do you appeal to that? The answer might be in finding out what else appeals to them that we can appeal to. Do they want houses or condos, a family, a decent job, but do they also see immigrants as taking jobs meant for them? Or lowering wages? Once that sets in, how do you counter it? Because it's likely to be a little bit true to a certain extent.

On TMF, Wendy recently posted an article about young people wanting financial security over anything else (including starting a family).

Here's a link: discussion.fool.com - Young adults prioritize economic security

So, as EB is saying, campaign on wallet issues. I have no idea if that will be enough, but it should have some traction, and Dems are -IMHO- more concerned about financial issues of the ordinary people than Reps are. For this cycle, that would have to be ACA credits, and SNAP cuts (at the minimum). Also, something like 300K people who used to work for the government are now unemployed. If there isn't any government hiring, that reduces the opportunities of young people (and older people, for that matter).
