Steve Forbes says the UK is f-cked? Is he correct?

Europe and especially the UK are so messed up. Forbes talks about one factor. I'll cover the rest:

• Generally speaking, the EU is run by woke, socialist leaning govs that overregulate and over tax. A huge downer for growing a business.

• The cost of energy is triple that in the US, crushing the ability of manufactures to compete on the global stage and ramping up the cost of living. Why? Blame the green revolution that most EU nations embraced and Ukraine. Decades of cheap energy purchased from Vlad just came to an abrupt halt.

• A demographic nightmare. No kids being born, the population is turning gray. Death by a thousand cuts.

A little Snitz research. Compare the recent growth in GDP here in the US vs the UK. Not pretty.
