The scale of current crisis has been compared by many to WW2. I guess there are similarities: the greater part of the population suddenly employed by the state and big strains on hospitals, for instances. I’ll bet, though, that no-one by 24th September 1939 was predicting years of austerity to come; because maybe they didn’t have to come, despite everything. America had a post-war boom and our story could have been very different had there been a different election result in 1950. I’d say. Kids etc. Lessons of history. Etc.
“Donald Trump is winning. Business, beware”
There’s a perception that whatever might be the consequences for the rest of the world, Trump as President should be good for business. Surely, as a business man himself, he’d be the friend of Corporate America, and everything, money-making-wise, went pretty well last time around didn’t it?
