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! image

#funfact If you've ever wondered why China makes up such a large percentage of the production of rare earth minerals: "The US stopped their mining operations in part because of the immense pollution from the practices to extract these rare earths. However, China did not waver but rather increased their production levels. This has caused lasting damage to the villages surrounding the factories."

#TIL #funfact TIL about the Four Corners Monument, the quadripoint in the Southwestern United States where the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah meet. It is the only point in the United States shared by four states!
