We've all managed that though. Why? Is it still a hangover from 2009? I don't think full employment, or even low levels of unemployment, has reached large parts of the Eurozone. Low inflation (even deflation) certainly has though. Bob's point about Trump's gains in support from non-white voters is possibly a mould breaker for the US. Like Labour and the Red Wall, the Democrats have historically being able to take the non-white vote for granted and largely ignore it except when they need it to vote for them. Some will say that Harris as VP will help get those non-white votes back, but I'm not so sure. She may well be as divisive a person as Trump in some ways. |

I suppose I meant the more developed nations like us, Germany, etc and discounted the others. I saw a discussion about what Trump has done for the 'everyman' and without having read many of the supporting articles and fact checks I think the general summary is that it's a bit of a myth. Again, in the short term even if his domestic policies have increased their net pay they'll still be paying more for some products due to increased tariffs. However that situation might improve in the longer term as trade discussions continue. In reality it'll take a few years to see the full impact of any improvements. |
