The OECD economists don't seem to consider it is a flaw.

It seems you (don't want to) understand. "Compared to the pre-pandemic level, UK GDP in Q3 2022 was 0.4% lower." It is not comparing the growth rate of Q3 2022 with the growth rate in Q4 2019, it is comparing the LEVEL (value) of GDP. It means the UK has still not caught up to the LEVEL of GDP it had at the end of 1999. In other words, the UK is 0.4% poorer (measured by GDP) than it was at the end of 1999, while the Eurozone or other countries listed have a higher GDP level than at the end of 1999. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/

Well, it depends how one looks at it, as it may vary over time. It's still worse than Eurozone and several countries for catching-up after the Codid crisis. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/

Some explanations about this movement here: In a large-scale raid, German police targeted dozens of individuals from the Reichsbürger scene who were suspected of planning a coup. What kind of movement is this — and what threat does it pose to democracy? https://www.dw.com/en/how-dangerous-are-germanys-reichsbürger/a-64020300

The far-left which was adhering to the principle of taking power by revolution was communist (Trotski style) and it vanished after the failure of the Soviet Union. Nearly nobody is still believing in revolutions. The far left has since that time mutated into green, antifa, woke, alternative communities, etc...

Trump calls for the termination of the Constitution in Truth Social post

For once, I may agree with you to a certain extent. It's mainly that Trump is ready to do or say anything, as long as he thinks it can benefit him. -

Right, It's just an honest mistake... Cassidy Hutchinson testified that Trump told Mark Meadows 'I don't want people to know that we lost' 2020 election court case 'I don't want people to know we lost, Mark. This is embarrassing. Figure it out. We need to figure it out. I don't want people to know that we lost.'" https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-cassidy-hutchinson-meadows-january-6-supreme-court-2020-election-2022-10 -
Ok but the most important is that it meets the current demand. Businesses have no need for unused overcapacities. In the article you linked, they expected a decrease in demand. And they are also able to increase exports with the current capacity. On top of it, nearly 90% of the capacity decrease occurs under Trump's mandate. I am not saying it was Trump's fault, as the obvious culprit was the Covid crisis, but you cannot blame Biden for it.

China Covid: Shocking protests are huge challenge for China's leaders

From the linked article: One former employee at Twitter said the problem of foreign political interference was common on the platform and claimed “all the China influence operations and analysts at Twitter all resigned” following Elon Musk’s takeover last month. -
According to a forecast made in February. Actually, the latest figures show that exports have significantly increased, and It's not only due to natural gas. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=53999 And production of oil has increased "In the first half of 2022, U.S. crude oil production averaged 11.1 million barrels per day (b/d), up from an annual average of 10.8 million b/d in 2021." https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=54199

Fake news as usual "CNN "Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests" Parodies refer to a series of altered CNN screenshots for satirical purposes depicting CNN reporter Omar Jimenez during the 2020 Jacob Blake protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, alongside the station’s chyrons. The format is typically used to mock CNN’s original headline, “Fiery but Mostly Peaceful Protests After Police Shooting,” and perspective on the event. The background image behind Jimenez is often photoshopped to include scenes from various media or major historical events with a similar, satirical spin. The format was popularized on a range of websites in late August 2020, after CNN’s original coverage aired, and shares similarities to other previous CNN Chyron Parodies." https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cnn-fiery-but-mostly-peaceful-protests-parodies -
It's all the more funny as Trump will get a taste at his own medicine! ???? Citizen Trump may have broken a law that President Trump made a felony "with trump’s signing s. 139 into law, that became: “ … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.” and with that, it became a felony." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/10/trump-fbi-search-surveillance-law/
