Cummins just told you what the economy actually looks like
Plan (drafter input)
Cummins just posted record Power Systems revenue — driven almost entirely by data center backup power demand. North American engine sales down. Truck market at a cyclical low. Mike's read: the same Ohio company that makes the engine in every work truck on every job site is now propping up its numbers with server farm generators. That's what the economy actually looks like from the inside. Nothing wrong with Cummins. Everything wrong with the conditions that made that the growth segment.
Economics pillar, hero_text. Cummins is an Indiana/Ohio industrial name Mike would know personally. Specific revenue detail, specific segment contrast. Different from China-factory posts — this is a domestic industrial story.

Body
Cummins posted record revenue in their Power Systems segment last quarter. Up 19%. About $2 billion in that one segment alone. You know what's driving it? Data center backup generators. Server farms. The AI buildout needs power, and Cummins is cashing in on keeping the lights on at Amazon and Google.
Meanwhile, their Engine segment — the thing that puts a Cummins diesel under every serious work truck on every job site in this country — was down 4%. Components down 5%. North American truck market at a cyclical low. The people actually building things, hauling things, running trades out of a van at 6am — that side of the economy was slow.
Cummins is a good company. They'll figure it out. They added a third shift at their Rocky Mount plant and they're watching 2027 EPA rules coming down the pipe. Nothing wrong with them. But read the tape: the growth segment isn't the engine in a work truck anymore. It's the generator keeping a server farm online. That's the economy they built while the rest of us weren't looking. Common sense wasn't wrong.

Cummins posted record Power Systems numbers. The growth was data centers, not work trucks. Read the tape. #manufacturing #economy #maga #smallbusiness
