BUT : WHAT about all the people on benefits, minimum wage, zero hours contract, all that crap: who can't afford new stuff, and can't afford what they need? Who are forced to buy polluting, expensive to maintain old bangers just to get to work? Are you telling me, Richard, that they don't want and need to consume more and better stuff? ๐
I think THAT would be your "growth answer". Make sure more gets to the people at the BOTTOM of the economic scale, NOT those higher up, who already "have enough".
I thought you knew this already? ๐ Austerity is a blight. Ditto service industries. If people are counting every penny (even middle class people) and giving a large tranche of their income to greedy energy companies, they won't have money to go out. To spend on restaurants, pubs, entertainments, even going to the cinema, which is expensive now.
End austerity! ๐

I wouldn't be excited about Trump either, Richard! (Mind you, I wouldn't be that excited about Kamala Harris winning either. I would only be excited if Jill Stein won! ๐)
I think that Americans are desperate financially, and that they've reelected Trump, because they want him to "make America great again", and revive what Americans call their middle class.
But once they find his protectionist and racist policies don't work, they won't vote for a Republican the next time! (And Trump can't stand again, according to the US Constitution.)
I agree with you that Musk's involvement is a bit worrying. He should keep his nose out of politics!
And if there is more inflation due to tariffs - well the good thing about the US system, is that they vote the entire House of Representatives in or out in two years! So Trump will lose control of the House. (Unlike here, where lazy careerist MPs, plus the likes of Farage, can sit there undisturbed for five years! ๐๐๐)
