u/-DonQuixote-

If Mexico were as prosperous as Canada, North America would shift to a tripartite of approximate peer-competitors.

Would this be an economic boon for the US, providing a massive, high-consumption market for exports? Or would it prove destructive by dissolving the labor-arbitrage models that underpin the American economy? Are there other dimensions to think about?

Ultimately, would the trade-off of losing regional dominance for the stability of a wealthy, integrated partner leave the United States better or worse off in the long run? I am interested to hear about economists would think about this hypothetical.

I was just with other ignorant Americans who were engaging in a classic sports pastime . . . hating the refs. Some thought the red card against F. Balogun was a bad call. But these are people who only watch futbol (aka soccer) every four years, so I don't trust them, but I do trust you.

So please give me your thoughts on the call in the comments. Thank you!

My undersstanding is that Pres. Joe Biden was popular at the start of the war in Israel, but then lost popularity. Why did he lose popularity? Or was he still popular, but just less popular than Trump? Or something else?

Help me understand. Thank you!
