BRUSSELS, June 10 (Reuters) - The economy, migration and international conflicts were the top concerns for voters in the European Union election, data from the bloc's biggest member countries suggested on Monday.
Provisional results in the European Parliament election on Sunday night showed gains for nationalist and euro-sceptic parties that campaigned on tickets including clamp-downs on migration, citizens' economic woes and scrapping green policies.
@northernbassist
is it eight or 4 humbuckers?
I'm not sure if you, me and maybe even thousands of others never forgiving folks for being less turned off by Trump's criminality and appeals to racism than they were turned off by a temporary spike in inflation really matters that much.
What matters is "payback is a bitch", I think, and there are a lot of things that could happen that folks can blame Trump and his enablers for happening.
@Alfred How often does Donald Trump lie?
Reporter: "Can the President demote or remove you or any of the governors of the FOMC"
J Powell: Not permitted under the law.
Note: If Trump and a Republican Congress try to change this, expect bond rates to soar.
Trump will enter office with a strong economy and things like beef prices--if nothing else changes--falling within a couple years,
But remember, he's incompetent and can screw all that up. Massive tax cuts, for example, could lead to soaring bond rates, tariffs could depress many market segments, He is not very popular despite the election outcome, so it won't take much to turn people against him.
That makes a difference on the margins. It doesn't account, however, for what so far seems like about 12 million less Democratic-leaning and about 4 million less Republican-leaning voters voting.
If theelection had been closer, it might have made the difference, But there was a massive turnout problem.
Fact: So far it seems about 12 million less Democratic-leaning voters stayed home.
But... it also seems about 4 million Republican voters stayed home.
Price gouging is the practice of charging customers an unreasonable or excessive amount for goods or services, especially during a time of crisis. It's often associated with the sale of essential items after a natural disaster or other event that causes a supply or demand shock.
Eggs and Beef prices went up, though, because there were fewer hens and fewer cattle.
Is there monopolization, however? Yes, and that is inheremtly non-competitive.
Democratic Party infighting determined to miss the point that inflation in 2023 cost them in this election.
Why? Because there's nothing they could have done about inflation that would have made things better.
So some fighting and finger-pointing.
It is, and if the election had been closer, it would have made a real difference, so it must be fought against.
What if you're reliously irreligious?
Prediction: In a couple years or so beef prices will possibly fall due to herd size increases post-drought if something isn't done to screw up things.
And whoever is President if that happens as it should if nothing else changes, will get the credit.
It's stupid, so it will happen probably.
@CanisPundit Not really.
Stagflation preceded Carter.
Carter and the Fed did what they had to do to counteract inflation.
People blamed Carter. The fed finally broke inflation during Reagan's first term while running up huge inflationary deficits.. People credit Reagan.
@CanisPundit Carter did fireside chats.
People still blamed him. Live and learn.
It would not work. Ask Jimmy Carter.
Well founded hypothesis:
There is nothing Joe Biden or Kamala Harris legally could have done (in retrospect) to change this outcome in the election because ...
the electorate thinks the White House can control the economy and was responsible for inflation in 2023--something Republicans were happy to atrtribute to the White House falsely.
And that was the deciding factor. Economic literacy is poor in the USA.
Did you try the weather machine store?
I lived long enough to see the Democratic party transformed into the National Security and Law and Order party but also lose an election to a covicted felon and his enablers.
Eugene Vindman was elected to the House
