What Actually Mattered This Week: Trump and Harris Face Off
WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERED THIS WEEK
Kamala Harris was the clear winner of this week’s presidential debate.
There was no unhinged laughter from her, no speaking in generalities, just a disciplined focus on policy. It was her performance as vice president so far.
Trump, on the other hand, kept scoring own goals after own goals.
No American politician has more experience with mainstream media than he does…yet he still came off completely unprepared. Incoherence doesn’t work that well against an attorney.
The race is still essentially a coin flip and I don’t expect the debate to shift people’s opinions and impact the outcome significantly.
Erdogan this week: “The return of Crimea to Ukraine is a requirement of international law.”
Fact check: true.
Some key recommendations from the European Commission’s new report on European competitiveness include:
While this sounds good on paper, the capacity of the EU to implement these changes is pretty limited.
Some welcome news in US-China relations (for once).

3moUSA left-right is quite even, it's quiet interesting to see this trend and how "neutral" can fit into for win-win. Opportunity Economy was mentioned 2 years ago based on the new principle developed when left and right were debating on equality, rich vs poor, sociology vs capitalism. Hence the term opportunity was introduced to match equality, Opportunity Economy Model expresses equal opportunity that is promised to be made available for anyone, with growth principle yet fair for everyone. Resilient economy was created as a prep for this opportunity and later creative innovation later. Erm, there are many potentials in the framework, how to sell the full version? Just fyi only, can't monetize it here.

3moABC won the debate, which is why it won’t move the needle. Look back at 2016. Hillary was widely regarded as “winning” all of the debates, for acting similarly to Kamala, and having the moderators on her side. That condescending smirk that Kamala had was the same as Hillary’s. It says “I hate you plebes. Why do I even have to deign to this crap?”
