Based on what I'm seeing, it's a combination of exchange rates (USD got stronger over that time) and flatter population growth in Europe.

If you make the same comparison using GDP per capita in PPP to account for the exchange rate changes, it isn't as large of a difference.

If we ignore the topic of how much impact the President actually has on GDP growth (I'd argue not as much as people think), based on which part of the graph was Obama's term vs Trump, you really think Trump deserves the credit for what we see in this graph?

It's mind blowing how different the post-2008 GDP growth recovery was for the US vs the European economies. The European GDPs have been effectively flat since 2008!

Each of the 4 quadrants has 1/4 of the US population

The irony that according to Hitler, the people responding to the sermons that way would probably be more at home with the old Japanese religion or Islam:

“ Hitler, wrote Speer, viewed Christianity as the wrong religion for the "Germanic temperament":[64] Speer wrote that Hitler would say: "You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the fatherland as the highest good? The Mohameddan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity.”

Mastodon is FINALLY adding full text search of public posts. I'm most excited about this because it'll make it so much smoother to bridge Mastodon/Fediverse posts over to Nostr through clients like Agora 😈

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25951

Also if you want the Fediverse/Mastodon post activity more

integrated into things like the explore/discover tab, try the client I'm

working on called Agora. The Discover tab for it combines the most

popular posts from both Nostr and Mastodon.

Who else remembers when some radical Islamist little bitch made the mistake of trying to shoot up a French train with American soldiers near him

- Follow hashtags so you can see posts about the things you're interested in, rather than only focusing your feed on specific people

- Add a relay like wss://relay.mostr.pub , which bridges the Fediverse/Mastodon into Nostr and allows you to follow all those people from your Nostr client as well.
