Excellent, Jakub,

According to The Economist, the average Brit today has a lower living standard than a person in Mississippi, the poorest state in America.

Enormous damage can occur when emotions supersede reality, such as Brexit and America building a forever higher wall between it and China.

These actions NEVER made sense in making either nation richer or safer.

The UK could work to get closer to the EU, but it could also boldly open itself to China. Eliminating tariffs on Chinese imports, especially EVs, solar panels, and other green products, would be a positive start. Overnight, this would place thousands of pounds into British pockets. It's compatible with Boris Johnson's notion of the UK becoming the new Singapore.

Unlike America, the UK has no auto manufacturing industry to protect since it has gone. Blue fits would undoubtedly occur in America, but let them.

Best for 2025.
