Not my tempo. I was talking about the loss of a global empire. Many have called the UK’s a “soft landing”, but even the hardest collapses so far will have been a different level of scale from what America is cooking up for itself.

The state of the UK is fine?
Free healthcare, relatively low food prices, growing wages, one of the highest minimum wages on Earth, low income taxes, decent workers rights, low levels of violent crime.
There’s some not great things, like house prices, but as I understand it, that’s an issue in most of the developed world.

Near best minimum wage on earth, free healthcare and a moat to keep the French out? Could be worse.
