Make America Worse Off
You approve hector enrique ?
The US central bank has cut its growth forecast as it warned President Donald Dump's tariffs were "clearly" driving up prices.
The Federal Reserve released its projections for the world's largest economy on Wednesday while keeping interest rates unchanged again, saying it wanted to see how the White House policies unfold.
That decision, which was widely expected, kept the Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rate hovering around 4.3%, where it has stood since December.
Fed chairman Jerome Powell said that the economy still appeared healthy, despite a sharp downturn in sentiment and "remarkably high" uncertainty.
But he warned tariffs - which are taxes on imports -were likely to slow growth and hinder the bank's efforts to keep prices stable, noting recent data showing a rise in goods prices.
"Clearly some of it, a good part of it, is coming from tariffs," he said, speaking after the Fed's rates announcement on Wednesday.
"Progress is probably delayed for the time being," he added.

The people there are packed in like sardines. And the average Dane pays 45% in taxes ..yet they are happy. They must have very easy women!
At both levels of salary he has lived a GREAT lifestyle. I earn similar to him and pay lower tax in the UK, yet he goes on many more holidays, has much more time to spend with the family, he also has much better healthcare and general standards of living.
The only things holding me back from moving there is being further away from my family and I’m told the culture is quite different socially to the British (more reserved), and takes a long while to assimilate to.BattlingNelson likes this.

As I said, they must have good women. Most of Europe has better looking women than the UK. Lower tax in the UK? What percentage do you pay if I may ask?SouthpawRight likes this.

the results in these 'quality of life' surveys where scandinavian countries come out on top are skewed because they place a high emphasis on healthcare and public services and obviously they will be good considering the amount of tax paid... this is a comment on the rankings that came out today that had finland top and denmark second

Coming from Finland and having lived here all my life, I'll tell you the honest truth of it! First of all, this study doesn't assess people's feelings of happiness. It's about the *average* quality of life. Yes, we have free education, universal healthcare and comprehensive social security. There is little or no homelessness, because we are a welfare state with obviously very high taxation. However, this does not mean we don't have problems or that people are happy with their lives! I would even argue that people are quite depressed in Finland, not least because of the terrible climate. People have a lot of mental health problems and alcohol consumption is still quite high... In fact, this study is a yearly topic of great puzzlement, disbelief and confusion in Finland, because we just can't understand why we're always number 1!'
the consensus view on them countries from tourists is that they are boring and overpriced

nordics are the closest place to paradise for the uncompetitive with plans to be average for life
Asia or the US
it’s funny because many other countries in the world also have free healthcare and university
If nordics were so great, then why do rich people fly to other countries for medical procedures and education
it’s Asia and the US that does the majority of the STEM breakthroughs
How useful is that Nordic education outside of schoolLast edited by SouthpawRight; 03-20-2025, 02:44 PM.
