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.

Yup...
"A gut punch in Ohio: Nearly 1,400 laid off at truck factory just days before Trump rally"

"Sipping tea from beer mugs with his co-workers, Kyle Bos listed the ways his life is changing.
Bos has two daughters, with a third due in January. At the grocery store, five items cost as much as a full cart once did.
And on Wednesday, Bos and nearly 1,400 other people were laid off from their jobs at what had been the Navistar truck factory in southwestern Ohio."

"The layoffs — occurring just three days before Trump’s rally on Saturday at a nearby high school — were large enough to basically erase an entire year of job growth
in the greater Dayton, Ohio, area. And they are one reason why Bos, 30, plans to spend the final weeks before the November election canvassing votes for Democrats."

"Asked how many times he had voted for Trump, Bos held up three tattooed fingers. But he said he’s done with the president.
'Something has to change politically in this country,' said Bos, a member of the United Auto Workers who identifies as a centrist. 'Seems like it just kept getting worse and worse and worse."

"Trump has promised to give people $5,000 checks if Republicans win the House and Senate next month — something Bos said he found offensive.
'It feels like a bribe, a slap in the face, and, like, that we’re all ignorant,' Bos said.
