Trump told them to head to the Capitol, he wanted to go there and watched TV during 3 hours doing nothing. Actually, That's one of the problem and the topic of this thread: the President and Commander in Chief watched his followers violently storm the Capitol and did nothing to stop it during 3 hours. Nothing, nada, walooo! The rest of your post is composed of loads of debunked B.S.

Come on, not this false equivalence again! They did not storm the Capitol in order to steal elections, they did not conspire to produce lists of fake electors, they were not acting according to lies served to them (black people have been really killed by the Police), etc... and no POTUS was involved.

That's how compulsive liars behave. They end up believing their own lies. The hearings have confirmed he's been told many times that it was B.S., so it was a denial of reality.. In either case, being a liar and cheater, or living in an alternate reality, are fundamentally not what is expected from a President. ????

Brexit: UK's divorce bill from EU could rise to £42.5bn
candide replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
The OBR doesn't invent the statistics it used, which are CPB, OECD and ONS. As for its assessment, other reports from other sources come to similar conclusions. Anyway, if you think the OBR analysis is biased why don't you show us an analysis from a reliable source, which contradicts the OBR. ???? -

They didn't line up. Most of them just continuated the agreements they signed with the EU. Actually, UK exports to non EU countries even decreased. "However, there is little sign to date of UK goods exports to non-EU countries making up for lower exports to the EU, with the former down 18 per cent on 2019 levels.b" "While additional trade with other counties could offset some of the decline in trade with the EU, none of the agreements concluded to date are of a sufficient scale to have a material impact on our forecast." https://obr.uk/box/the-latest-evidence-on-the-impact-of-brexit-on-uk-trade/ -

The moron, who incidentally was the Commander in Chief, just watched the mob assaulting the Capitol and did nothing. ???? -

By raft and on foot, migrants cross Rio Grande from Mexico to Texas

You are assuming that the reason for the lower participation rate is low wages. It's not what I read in articles about it. Reasons often evoked are that people are bored with <deleted> jobs, extensive working hours, and other reasons such as childcare or early retirement. "The share of the population that is working or looking for work remains 1.2 percentage points below their February 2020 values, as Americans that left work during the pandemic are coming back slowly due in part due to childcare and early retirement. source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics" https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/labor-force-participation-rate#:~:text=Labor Force Participation Rate in the United States averaged 62.85,percent in December of 1954. You are also assuming that the non-participating population would be able to do such agricultural hard work. This is far from obvious. Young and energetic people don't can find work rather easily. I would rather assume that the non-participants are not very fit (I.e. in the oldest age range, over 50) and are not able to dig or harvest 8 hours a day under the Californian sun. -

Is it really the problem? The unemployment rate is low, businesses are often complaining they cannot hire enough employees, and wages have been rising. -
