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.

Hey MAGA, ever heard the one about the face eating leopard?...

80% of the ACA subsidies about to expire go to people in the poor red states that Trump won in 2024.

"In Florida, West Virginia, and Alabama, 98% of people enrolled in Marketplace coverage received federal financial premium assistance, and 99% do in Mississippi.
Additionally, 80% of all premium tax credits ($115 billion) went to ACA Marketplace enrollees in Trump-won states."

Time and time again, Trump sells out his low-information voters — to fund massive tax cuts for the super rich.
