@Jasulainen "Economic" power. We are hardly economical. Quite the opposite.
@ThisNameWasntTaken @Jasulainen was going to say the same. We used to be, but there's a long history now of politicians & the millionaire/billionaires who own them-tearing the place apart. We're no longer #1 in anything good. The fall of an empire-in real time.
@Jasulainen @ThisNameWasntTaken I appreciate your optimism, but by most standard measures we have fallen significantly in the last 10-15 yrs.
