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.

After President Biden *increasing* Affordable Care Act tax credits.....

The number of enrollees almost doubled.

Now under the Vance-Republican Health Insurance Scheme those enhanced credits will go away.

The funny part: 88% of the *new* ACA enrollees---came from states won by President Trump.

So Republicans wish to make Medicaid worse and harder *not* just for illegals but their own citizens.

And Republicans want to jack up monthly premiums on people who voted for THEM.

And in the meantime, we kicked Dearborn to the curb.

If Democrats don't mess this up, we best enjoy majority status. Who knows what progressives will do if they get power. Maybe add some SCOTUS seats, maybe help tilt our demographics a certain way, and truly make us into california.

Right now nobody cares.

When they new premiums come out - I'm not sure someone who can't afford insurance cares if Pablo is getting care or not.

We literally on the Democrat Payroll today. We are doing their work for them. all they gotta do is not say a word - and they'll win. If they run an effective message - they'll win bigger.

How do we get Michigan without Dearborn.

How do we get swing states, if our 2024 margins in said states are a FRACTION of the number of ACA users that will be livid over premiums.

The Vance Republican Health Scheme won't only hurt Americans (America First huh), it's going to hurt us politically.

If we "did the tough thing" and want to fall on our swords - fine - we've done that many times before. Who is the next Obama?
