Why can’t any government in the world aim to tax ultra rich more whilst making easier for small to medium large businesses to thrive. And policies on property supply rather than property buyers like all sorts of first time buyers programs.

Why are only same old policies keep being peddled when the world is still going to shit?

That doesn’t involve reducing the government size and budget entirely or subscribing to any extreme left or right?

Well, Putin is indeed very unlikely to get the Nobel Peace Price but not because war or not, Obama got it despite waging something like 13 wars including few blatant full-scale invasions.

Maybe he should try to bomb the Nobel comittee itself, who knows, maybe that would impress them.

Obama benefited from being barely in office in 2009 when he got the prize. I imagine the committee in Oslo regretted their decision later.
