Does one assume you have never been to Singapore?
You should try visiting the city-state, it is very nice, very clean, and very safe.
Until Covid came along my wife, and I visited the place regularly, take my word for it shows Europe/EU/UK as it is a stagnating continent, with a falling amount of the world's trade and a matching fall in GDP.
I visited what I will term the old Singapore firstly in 1969, it was transformed upon its independence by their first and forward-looking PM, Lee Kuan Yew, whose party ruled for decades and still does.
They do not have internecine political warfare fought through decades and generations, just to keep two warring parties their reason to exist.

They are not schooled at Eton, their father hands over a wod of cash each term, and the boys play girls' rugby (union) and wear funny clothes, until their father hands over a wod of cash to Oxford or Cambridge.
The same goes for so many Labour and Liberal MPs too, in their private education.

The roots of today's financial problems go back to 2008 and who was the chancellor then?
That is when LDIs became popular, during QE, to provide cover for the defined pension schemes, when bond yields were falling through the floor.

Trump you say is starting to find out who is in charge.
If the Republicans take the house in the mid terms it will not look to good for Biden either, 10% for the big man, and his son's laptop will be scrutinised and could lead to impeachment.

Do not mention certain things like how is it going in the EU.
It should be fantastic after all millions of EU workers left the UK (we were told) o return home, some 6 years ago, so their additional input into the EU economy should have kicked in by now. Taking into account the millions of immigrants who have also entered the EU to work hard and increase EU's GDP and make the people in the EU fantastically wealthy, well they also must have had a positive effect by now.
The same must go for the USA millions just walking in, they must have cut their national debt to zero by now !
