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/

The salary is not the main factor for not participating in the labour market. "Right now, the labor force participation rate is 62.8%, down from 63.4% in February 2020. There's not just one reason that workers are sitting out, but several factors have come together to cause the ongoing shortage. The U.S. Chamber surveyed unemployed workers who lost their jobs during the pandemic on what is keeping them from returning to work. Twenty-seven percent indicated that the need to be home and care for children or other family members has made the return to work difficult or impossible. More than a quarter (28%) indicated that they have been ill and their health has taken priority over looking for work. In addition to the factors outlined below, the survey also revealed some are still concerned about COVID-19 at work, indicate that pay is too low, or are more focused on acquiring new skills and education before re-entering the job market.

He's not even hiding being fascist They are almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-side and vicious coverage by NBC NEWS, and in particular MSNBC, often and correctly referred to as MSDNC (Democrat National Committee!), should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Sunday.

The current system for nominating Commission members may not be optimal. However, it keeps the Commission under the control of the members states. A system of elected Commission members would generated other problems. To start with, it would mean the EU would de facto become a federal State, which it isn't. That's the main issue. They would derive their power from the people, not from the member States. Additionally, it would be difficult to find a system generating consensus. How would it work? A Conservative list against a social-democrat list? A Northern Europe list against a Southern Europe list?

EU laws need to be approved by the Council and the EP, so the Commission has to involve them in the design process. EU members are nominated by the member States composing the Council. It's true that the more member States the more difficult it gets. Hence this proposal, which allows for different levels of involvement.

The cohesion of the U.S. social system (despite a very competitive work environment) has always relied on the following: - the latest wave of immigration usually starts with small jobs, - it allows the previous waves (or their children) to go up the social ladder (I.e. they become supervisors, open businesses, study, etc...), - then a new wave arrives and takes the small jobs, etc...

Better drink the blood of a few kids in the basement of a pizzeria which has no basement, in order to get young again!

There can be variations between different polls, as the margin of error (to make it simple) is usually 5%. However, the current trend if or the average of all polls is that Trump is currently around 1% above Biden. https://www.racetothewh.com/president/polls

Not the same table. This one compares the poll you cited with other polls.
