That's why this Trump deviation will be short-lived. His retrograde policies would sabotage the US economy.

It's going to be interesting to see how much self-harming England will do continuing with their Brexit madness.

With Ireland an EU nation, but Northern Ireland part of the UK it's a cake that can't be unmade without huge costs.

One part of the article I strongly disagree with is

"a little known fact, he said, is that its 20-somethings have a higher level of education than their counterparts in Germany (perhaps in part because of Germany’s extensive apprenticeship trade programs)."

Mexico's higher education system resembles that of former East Germany where a huge percentage of people had PhDs in bullshit like "Comparative Marxist analysis of methods to implement global Socialism". When the east was reunited with the west, these people with nonsense degrees were no more useful economically than they were in the east.

The Middle East suffers from a different problem where 'everyone' becomes an engineer or chemist which far exceed the number of engineers and chemists these countries need or their ability to emigrate to other places around the world. More to the point, most are lousy chemists and engineers whose education has been disconnected from real world experience.

Angelea Merkel has a PhD in Quantum Chemistry, so she went into politics.
