And I don't mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

Turns out that good leadership and economics are rather loosely correlated

Leadership and economics are very closely linked, but not in terms of economic growth like GDP. Rather the economic measure of a good leader should be stuff like wages, CPI, wealth gap, unemployment/homelessness statistics, etc.

    Yeah, that's the real thing: "the economy" is how well the country is working for rich people and corporations. Look at average wages, actual buying power, etc. What's in the hands of the worker. That's the actual measure of how well a country is doing. Grotesque inequality is a condemnation, regardless of what the stock market is doing.
