The car manufacturing issue is a real issue. It's starting to be addressed, but should likely be more rigorously dealt with. Otherwise the European car industry ( not only in the EU) is endangered.

Sorry I was not clear. It's chapter 5 .Impact of Blue Book 2023 on volume GDP.

In ch.5

For example ch.5. It's not a uniform increase but tends to increase numbers.

Read the ONS article

Don't put word into my mouth, I did not say that. I said that changing the method leads to GDP number increase ( as explained by the ONS). It's not only an issue of revised inputs.

From the article: This article will cover the indicative annual and quarterly impacts resulting from changes to sources and methods, as well as confronting the year 2021 through the SUT framework for the first time. France has started applying the SUT framewok but not to the same extent as UK. Most other European countries haven't. I never claimed it was to give a false impression, as the new method is allegedly better. It's just that it makes comparisons less relevant, until other countries apply it fully.

See my previous post quoted above. I did not claim that their intention was to increase numbers (although it is possible). The method takes into account more activities, so it leads to higher numbers. Other European countries have not fully applied this framework, so numbers are not any more comparable.

That's a good incentive for EU countries to do like UK and change the GDP calculation method by widely applying the SUT framework, in order to increase GDP numbers.

You did not understand what JonnyF comment and the linked articles were about (the past GDP)?

Lol! They changed the calculation method! https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/articles/impactofbluebook2023changesongrossdomesticproduct/2023-09-01

Another GOP lie. ???? The Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee got testy with a NBC reporter during a Wednesday press conference after the journalist challenged him on the timeline of supposed evidence of President Joe Biden’s misconduct. The journalist pointed out that a WhatsApp message that Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) had presented as potential evidence of Biden’s use of his political influence to help Hunter Biden was dated to June 6, 2017—before Biden was a presidential candidate, let alone president. https://news.yahoo.com/gop-rep-gets-snippy-reporter-205921308.html

Apparently he came back and then was dismissed by the Parliament. "despite President Poroshenko’s public call that day that Shokin resign and the apparent submission of a resignation letter on Feb. 19, media cited a prosecutor in Shokin’s office on March 16 saying the chief prosecutor was back after a “long leave.” Finally, on March 29, the Parliament voted overwhelmingly to approve Poroshenko’s recommendation to dismiss Shokin." https://www.justsecurity.org/66271/timeline-trump-giuliani-bidens-and-ukrainegate/ Anyone who really wants to understand what happened should read this timeline.

On top of it, there were much other issues with Shokin than just Burisma.

Talking about proof now, really? What is your proof that Shokin, as Prosecutor General ( more or less the equivalent to the AG in the US) was "doing his job"?

You still don't seem to understand this.

From the BBC article "That is a fantasy world, not the real world." The judge determined that Mr Trump: Overvalued Mar-a-Lago by 2,300% in one financial statement Overvalued his penthouse at Trump Tower in New York by claiming that it was three times its actual size "Absurdly" argued that calculating the area of the penthouse was subjective, ruling "a discrepancy of this order of magnitude, by a real estate developer sizing up his own living space of decades, can only be considered fraud"

He was asking dumb questions and was a total embarrassment.

"A New York judge has found Donald Trump and his adult sons liable for fraud, saying the Trumps provided false financial statements for roughly a decade. Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling came days before the civil case involving the New York attorney general’s office and the former president was set to go to trial."

Another win for the GOP! Republican Case Against Biden Beautifully Goes Up in Flames on Fox News https://news.yahoo.com/republican-case-against-biden-beautifully-201940033.html "Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Monday completely—and hilariously—destroyed one of Republicans’ main arguments to prove that Joe Biden is corrupt."

Different polls have different results but the trend is currently in Trump's favor. https://www.racetothewh.com/president/polls#google_vignette

Ahem! That's your evidence that Biden is corrupt? ????

Ok. However, a significant share of the current legal immigrants have started as illegal immigrants before being regularized.

The usual baseless MAGA conspiracy theories.

Yet, if the legal immigrants (who may have been illegal previously), are added, It's nearly 50% and more for crop agriculture (57%). It also depends which type of agriculture (product and type of farm) and where. "In many states where agriculture is especially important, immigrants make up even larger shares of the farm workforce. In California, immigrants make up more than 80 percent of the state’s agricultural workforce. Other states like, Washington State (72.6%), Florida (65.4%), and Oregon (60.7%), also have higher than average shares of immigrants in their agricultural workforce." (To compare with 16.5% in Minesota) https://research.newamericaneconomy.org/report/immigration-and-agriculture/
