This one post alone shows you don’t understand economics in the slightest.

We have more millionaires and billionaires than ever because of inflation. The currency is worth less, so naturally there are more millionaires.

Also explains why you feel poorer, as your money has been debased.

If you look at share of GDP per capita then Britons are getting poorer at an alarming rate compared with the rest of the world.

This is because we have taxed everyone to death and scared off all of the industry.
Should have joined the euro back in the day! The our currency would have been on the same level as Germany's!!

Yeah bro, the world isn’t catching up, we are slowing down. Yeah. Dude knows his onions man! Just shows how little I know about like crisp flavours dude.
 
I hope pundits like Michael Moore are right in thinking that Kamala Harris will win quite comfortably. Rory Stewart was of the opinión that the polls were trying to paint a closer race than it really is, again suggesting Harris a clear winner.
 
Looking like Trump at the moment - if all the random street interviews mean anything. This one is going to be super close.

Can't wait for the tin hats to come out if Trump loses.
It's on a knife edge. There's simply no way of knowing or even guessing by looking at the polls. All of the swing states are so tight. I do think Harris needs to win Pennsylvania more than Trump though.
 
Electoral college is a nonsense. This isn't like the UK where regionally people are electing MPs. This is a straight first past the post shootout. It should be most votes gets the presidency.
Wait until the Trump camp tries to contest the electoral college and have a contingent election. The House of Representatives vote on the presidency, but each state’s representatives get one vote between them!
 
I don’t think the Dems or Harris have covered themselves in glory, but hoping for a Trump win is like replacing your manager mid season with Nathan Jones.

That’s a matter of perspective though.

In my opinion and many millions of others, trump is a much better shout than Harris. Not just for the USA but for the world

The climate crisis is a hoax so that big businesses and corporations can slowly land grab rural assets and introduce new forms of state control.
