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.

Apparently a post-mortem of 2022 has come out, and it's not looking good for Team Red. Here is the summary (may or may not require a subscription to see it):

The New York Times: The Morning: Millennials just keep voting

A few highlights:
A central theme of the latest report, covering the 2022 midterms, was that 'Gen Z and millennial voters had exceptional levels of turnout,' as Catalist's experts wrote.

...

Many younger voters have become more politically active because they fear for the country's future. Those on the left ' who are a majority of younger voters ' worry about climate change, abortion access, the extremism of the Republican Party and more. Those on the right worry about secularization, political correctness, illegal immigration and more.

...

Americans who came of age during the Depression and New Deal, for example, leaned Democratic for their entire lives. Those who grew up during the Reagan era (many of whom are part of Generation X) lean to the right. In recent decades, major news events, including the Iraq war, the financial crisis, Barack Obama's presidency and the chaos of Trump's presidency, appear to have created a progressive generation.

A link to the full report (which the NYT says was produced by a "progressive research company", for full disclosure):
