Iemand de NL/EU cijfers ?
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

A narrow prism opinion piece but I agree with the conclusion that the irony of the Trump-Vance rhetoric is that it may make most of Europe’s problems worse. The domestic political allies they want to cultivate in Europe, are big-state, anti-economic-reform parties, and often anti-American to boot.

An excellent breakdown of why the poverty line doesn't work for measuring actual poverty or drivers of inequality & deprivation.
Why most Americans are the working poor. This is quite thoughtful and well worth a read. [ignore the market chartist stuff at the front, which is irrelevant to the post]

All for deregulation and innovation, but the challenge for EU is to keep balance and not allow unbridled USA like capitalism. Not at cost the of
1. Weaker job security and bargaining power
2. Wage stagnation and inequality
3. Erosion of social protections
4. Financialization of the economy

And for Europeans. The European an American religious (white nationalist)right is waging culture war on Europe so let us keep these religious nuts out of our lives. Europe has had enough religious wars and we should definitely compare what is happening now with the past.

Europeans should also have their eyes open about the dismantling of the EU and the rule of law in Europe. Less brazen and noisy than in Trump’s America, but equally dangerous. Maybe even more so, as it attracts less attention. Are we sleepwalking into disaster again?
