Bacon isn’t totally off the mark, though. We had to be in the UK in April to learn from their TV news that of the G-7 nations, the United States has had the second strongest post-Covid economic recovery, close behind #1 Canada, but well ahead of #3 (I can’t recall who- but it wasn’t the UK). Something I’ve never seen or read in US media. Virtually every story on inflation over there put it in a global context. The lack of a broader global context for inflation and gas prices in the US feeds the “it’s all Biden’s fault” GOP narrative. Which of course allows the GOP to avoid talking about exactly what they would do to bring down inflation and gas prices.
