What is Australia? (I wouldn't know) And how many ways can that be answered? Politically geographically, demographically, silly, serious, misty-eyed.... What is America? And how many ways can that be answered?

Possibly if you were here for an extended time, you’d see things differently. From experience here but more so seeing the US from another country’s viewpoint. My old neighbor has disappeared, I hope to aged care but I fear to the grave, was from San Fran and she stated the US was fucked. A lost country because of politics.

well, can't talk for other areas, Australia is nearly as big as the States, but South Australia is like the esophagus or thoracic diaphragm maybe.. our state motto is: "heaps good".

seems we've hit a little epoch in time where everyone is saying 'the quiet part out loud' ...both sides...

I saw AOC shamelessly say (out loud) the lawfare attack on trump locks him down so he cannot campaign...

seen all sorts over the last two weeks

in a bit of a bit of cleansing moment... where it seems people will hold their tongues no longer...

the big guns, cooperating, and calling it how the see it...

more gas news, US is on an industrial rampage

https://english.elpais.com/economy-and-business/2024-02-26/the-us-uses-c...

"The U.S. industrial sector’s investment in new production plants — or in renovating existing ones — doubled between mid-2022 and mid-2023, reaching a new all-time high, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Most of this investment came from the semiconductor sector, which has been buoyed by the integration of artificial intelligence. But interest wasn’t just coming from chip manufacturers: despite the higher labor costs in the United States, legions of companies — especially in high-value-added sectors — have set up shop."

This would explain their productivity going through the roof, and underpinning everything from their housing market (cheaper relative to wages than ours) to their market indexes, spurred by AI.

The economy is booming but it's causing inflation. Just look at the US deficit (current and forecasts). It's clear; inflation is here to stay.

I'm not so sure - if the government stops employing people and the private sector doesnt pickup the slack then wages will fall. Economy is already slowing. And when the US sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold.

Seems to me Biden was on the right track with the semiconductors. Don’t know why he hasn’t been making this point more. Evidence of his policy to reinvigorate Amercia’s manafacturing base. Modern plants cropping up in the likes of Ohio and upstate New York. As opposed to Trump – a lot of rhetoric and a tariff on Chinese steal which has caused more job losses in businesses that set up around cheap imported steel than the job’s created. Guess it’s a hard sell when the overall policy’s called the Inflation Reduction Act.

Instead it was all me, me, me - on Putin, the Middle East, Ukraine, Europe, China and Nato. I’m the man pulling the strings, on top of the situation. And only I can beat Trump. Which I suppose is aimed squarely at the ears of the neo-liberal neo-con democratic political elite, media elite and donor class – intended audience of this interview - that are sitting around the modern day equivalent of cigar smoke filled mahogany rooms deciding his future.

Stephanopoulos barely mentioned the border, which seems the Biden’s administration’s biggest Achilles heel.

On his cognitive decline – a relative pass, won’t change any opinions. Came across as an old guy on the decline coached to display a less zombie like resting facial expression and half succeeding in reciting bullet points that he’s been coached to memorise. With some bizarre references to the Lord almighty.

And Trump’s a liar. A patholigical liar. Der. Think that one’s well already baked into the cake.

Relatively, a slightly less bad night.

The main take out from this interview is, as it now stands, there are officially two Orange Men running for the presidency.

A government with a permanent deficit and a bloated military. A bogus ideology pushed by elites. Poor health among ordinary people. Senescent leaders. Sound familiar?
