Alas here we have Starmer who seems to want to bend over backwards for a deal with a POTUS who is patently incapable of formulating a deal.
One moment they're demanding that we nullify all our human rights legislation and comply with his decree against DEI the next he demands that we host the Open golf tournament at his golf course...
Quite what that has to do with Tariff rates is anyone's guess.

I would be interested to see this overlaid with educational achievement. I would expect a correlation.

If California was a country, it would currently be the 4th largest economic entity. Would be 5th, but Russia has done an excellent job of losing its place.
Wasn't that Japan who slipped? IIRC Russia isn't even in the top 10.

Could be. Should've done my homework first, but couldn't resist a dig against that country. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Well Trump is doing his best to match the US economy with Russia's...

Imagine how pathetic one has to be to go against Wikipedia, but here we are.
Quote:Trump’s D.C. Prosecutor Is Going After Wikipedia For Allegedly Spreading ‘Propaganda’
The nonprofit group that runs Wikipedia was threatened by Ed Martin, the interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, in a letter accusing it of “allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda to the American public.”
“Wikipedia is permitting information manipulation on its platform, including the rewriting of key, historical events and biographical information of current and previous American leaders, as well as other matters implicating the national security and the interests of the United States,” Martin wrote in a letter dated Thursday that was first reported by The Free Press.
The letter accuses the Wikimedia Foundation, the organization behind the online encyclopedia, of violating a tax code that requires nonprofits to operate exclusively for “religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational purposes.”
Wikipedia editor Molly White told the Washington Post that Martin’s letter is another way Trump and his allies are “weaponizing laws to try to silence high-quality independent information.”
Martin has sent similarly threatening letters to at least four medical journals, including the renowned New England Journal of Medicine, accusing them of bias and being “partisans in various scientific debates.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Apparently the right isn't content to live in a post-facts world, they want everybody else to join them.

Actually, many of us didn't.
