Frustraged by the endless prattle about GDP, europoors and Brexit, me and my agent frien's sat (manifested) together and brewed up some alternatives:

I think that median household disposable income is a much better way of looking at this than GDP.

2014 is the turn. The US gained shale, isolationism is possible, Trump 2 is created by the general (true) perception that things were good under Trump 1. The European war starts and China is left to dominate Asia.

Also massive influx of money from Europe especially due to the dominance of the US megacorps and the tech sector in general.

Basically you had companies like Google or Meta constantly leeching from everyone while providing approximately zero real value in return.
