You are incorrect! - Where did you get your 4.3% figure? "Resurrect" that stat from Uranus? https://www.bls.gov/

Limits on the no tax on tips and overtime: 25k (capped) deduction for tips 12,500 (capped) for overtime. Both expire in 2028

Gas prices near lowest level in 4 years ahead of 4th of July weekend (ABC News 3 July) Inflation is tame. Markets are at record highs. (CNN, today 8 July) The US added 147,000 jobs in June 2025 (NBC News, 3 July) Unemployment dropped from 4.2% to 4.1% in June 2025 (NBC News, 3 July) You can Google them all.

There are more than just "3" countries... and I wouldn't be using "businessinsider" for correct information. There are actually 8: Czech Republic Guatemala Mexico Switzerland The Philippines Ukraine United States Yemen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_keep_and_bear_arms Additionally, the following countries permit some different levels of gun ownership (even here in Oz): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation It's tragic to hear of others killing one another - via guns or other weapons. Responsible gun owners aren't the problem - it's the law breaking criminals (including Hunter Biden) who obtain gun's illegally and use them without regard for others lives. I do not believe in punishing law abiding gun owners - just as I don't believe in punishing all drivers just because some of them drive drunk and cause mayhem and death - the worst of which in the USA was in May 1988 in Carrollton, Kentucky when a drunk driver hit a bus head-on and killed 27.
