You're obtuse, mate. I read your citation, and cited back a portion of it to you. Refuting your assertion. Read the responses more closely, if you want to actually show yourself a true interlocutor.
----------------------------------
You prove yourself to not be a genuine debater. Nor correctly cite your sources, and what they actually say. I cite sources including URLs and you call that cherry-picking. Your one source's actual text disproved your assertion. YOUR source: "13 July 2023" -- "In May 2023 compared with May 2022, industrial production decreased by 2.2% in the euro area and by 1.8% in the EU."
Perhaps modeling yourself after Danilov's productivity would be a good thing? After all, $ 97,100.00 in the last ninety days is exemplary, isn't it?
That's sure a heftier take that Free Republic's quarterly fund drive. By the way, have you contributed to FR recently?There's is a fund drive going on.
Suit yourself. Pearls before ... - you know what.
I was making a fair bit more than Danilov seems to be. Not now, but I am retired, with the peeled grapes and all.
