"The Americans always do the right thing, but only after they have tried everything else"
Well, maybe the re-election of Trump was the right thing (if only when compared with the only other option on offer), or maybe it wasn't, but it seems that Europe is in much the exact same boat. With factories closing left right and centre in Germany, the Germans are grappling with how to resile from their disastrous "green" policies which are decimating their industrial base through lack of affordable power.
Where Germany leads, the rest will follow, because they will have little choice - either their populations will throw them under the bus, or they will be left so far behind that destitution will result.
China, whose workforce is now approaching pay parity with the West, meanwhile must be wondering how they can continue to make a profit from us, who will shortly no longer be able to afford their manufactured goods in the previous quantities.
In short, the inflection point is upon us, and the world is going to change!
