Oh yes I always get that bit confused. Voltaire wouldn't meet Euler until the 1760s I think. Ah well, I confused my Lutheran German mathematicians again.

There's a very dark thought to this about a starving island trying to integrate the north, and a lighter thought that, given the events of 28 DAYS starts in 2002, FF and FG are probably busy discussing house building policy and ignoring the zombies across the water

People in most elite jobs much more likely to hold pro-growth views
Skilled manual workers (rather than semi-skilled or unskilled) are the most anti-growth.
This relates to how exposed these jobs have been to automation in the past
What happened that made the cost of cutting spending acceptable to Milei but not the exchange rate or interest rate? His coalition doesn't rely on voters who need gov assistance?
