Left Bluesky a while ago bc Earth has bigger problems than Trump, wouldn't you know. Jumped back in & I cant fathom how, regardless of how bat shit crazy awful American politics is right now, why the America ppl cant see past their own nose. One world, one people, one planetary climate. Look up

Its scary different the take on climate change on bluesky which is predominantly America and on Reddit, predominantly Eurpoean. Havent been on bluesky for a whole but it feels years behind the curve regarding climate collapse. Ya still posting memes not charts.

Hello Americans. Today the British people voted to choose to validate or invalidate a small minded gravy train politician with his sights on Trumps version of power here in the UK. Please pray for us that we did the right thing and rejected this BS.

Day 350 Yesterday European leaders defended the rights of a NATO country against a country that wants to invade it. Not Russia, or China or North Korea. They made that statement against America. Its long term ally is threatening the very structure of peace in Europe. You are all caught up.

Why can't Brits see the public health warning that is Trumps Ugly Merica when sucking up Farrage BS? He tanked our economy by driving thru the leave vote using fear and fantasy. And yet voters crave more, always assuming he's the solution and never the problem. Where does it end?

This Government has chosen to reject the single biggest thing it could do to turbocharge economic growth and repair the £90 billion Brexit black hole. For millions of people struggling with higher bills this was a botched budget.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Read 'em and weep. (www.nber.org/system/files...)

This paper examines the impact of the UK's decision to leave the European Union (Brexit) in 2016. Using almost a decade of data since the referendum, we combine simulations based on macro data with estimates derived from micro data collected through our Decision Maker Panel survey. These estimates suggest that by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%. These large negative impacts reflect a combination of elevated uncertainty, reduced demand, diverted management time, and increased misallocation of resources from a protracted Brexit process. Comparing these with contemporary forecasts – providing a rare macro example to complement the burgeoning microliterature of social science predictions – shows that these forecasts were accurate over a 5-year horizon, but they underestimated the impact over a decade.
