Magius1337est posted:and Europe is no longer a super power or relevant at all? The UK thought it would be a good idea to break off eve though the only reason their economy exists is so English speaking countries can do business with Europe and the EU is going to fall to infighting. Hope you like recession on top of inflation. Europe: The super power that is unable to keep one of its provinces from declining to third world lviing standards, unable to secure its borders. unable to provide adequate response to a hostile country with 1/4 the population and 1/10th the GDP. But they sure made sure we can't buy vacuum cleaners anymore and netflix needs to show more European crap. Britain made the right choice. They might not make it on their own either, but Europe is doomed.

In America, when our states try to secede, we gently caress them up with cannons and burn all their poo poo to the ground until they don't wanna leave anymore. I'd say give it a try, but uh.... Heh.

You don't need the EU for that. You only need the EU to outlaw things you need, like vacuum cleaners and light bulbs and properly prepared fries.

Yeah, what are the UK's major exports? I'm too lazy to look it up. Won't they be subject to more tariffs now on whatever those are? I don't know poo poo about economics. I just never find myself thinking "I could really go for a British XYZ." Scotch sure. But that there has to be something else to sustain them. Right?

Ok, fine. I took the 10 seconds to look it up.quote:The following export product groups represent the highest dollar value in UK global shipments during 2016. Also shown is the percentage share each export category represents in terms of overall exports from United Kingdom. Ok let's see here. Machinery. Ok I don't know anything about that. Vehicles? I thought they had pretty lovely cars. Jaguar, Mini... what else? Aircraft... I haven't heard of any home grown companies there but cool. Oil, uh oh. Mineral fuels including oil led the decliners down by -34.5%. Yikes.

I heard that Jaguars are cool but in their older cars their electronics were poo poo. My friend's step-dad had a Jaguar that was pretty cool. Two V6 engines next to each other. No power anything. I think the radio and turn signals worked. He was the one who mentioned the electronics though. So I don't know if that used to be a thing.

Oh hey, Brexit. Forgot all about that after Trump. I don't know poo poo about it so all I've gathered is: A bunch of politicians wanted to leave the EU because they were felt like they were getting bullied and they would be better off alone, but breaking up was scary. So they used a bunch xenophobia and anit-migrant sentiment, put it to a vote, and won probably not even really expecting to. The whole country almost immediately regretted it. The politicians that created the mess got scared and tried to duck any responsibility after the fact. Families could potentially be broken up over this, it's terrible for the economy, and it will all probably snowball downhill. If this Nigel Farage guy is still alive when the real price of the break up becomes clear he might get dragged out into the street to be beheaded. The first of many beheadings. That's all I know about it.
