It could be considered racist but the context indicates stereotyping which is plain ignorance and one crime level below racism, in my opinion. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes in a western country if the other guy complained to HR.

No Governor is going to do anything meaningful about illegals working in their state ever. They know where their donations come from. -
I said Australia had high household debt and your chart supports that.

There's more to that story. I don't know if it;s still true but the Japanese had very high levels of foreign debt but about the world's highest household savings. By converse, Australia (had) low foreign debt and among the highest household indebtedness in the world. This high household savings keeps the economy healthy despite the debt because those savings are largely invested.

Trump accused Alec Baldwin of shooting his photographer deliberately. That statement will trouble many people. -

He stands no chance of beating Trump in the runoff as it stands. The fact that he hasn't declared more stridently that he isn't standing is because he hopes something bad happens to Trump. DeSantis lost the CPAC straw poll by something like 69 to 12%. And he didn't even show up at CPAC. -
Most of your comments spoke of children and people in general, they weren't about your own kids. You do what you want with your kids in regard to vaccinations. I stand by every comment I made about you comments re kids in general. Advocating that a child not be vaccinated against medical expert advice is reprehensible and is straight out misinformation.

The GFC is arguably such a case. External (banking) factors caused a crisis in confidence in the capital market. It had nothing really to do with the GDP or economy in general. That view is supported by the V shaped recovery experienced almost immediately after a spectacular market crash. That contrasts the previous recession in 1980 where it took the economy many years to recover, stock market as well. Covid also arguably caused a boom in the stock market after a medium crash simultaneously with a pull back back in the economy. This is because the covid stimulus largely went to the big end of town who used the money to buy assets. They aren't necessarily tied at all.
