Can someone smarter than me explain what the Brits get for being in the EU? Like what is the benefit for them as a nation.

In theory? We have an actual IRL common market with free movement of goods, services and workers.

Does that actually benefit a country with a big trade deficit?

So the UK was the workhorse (or field boy if you're using American vernacular) of the EU. Paid the most in at a huge net loss, received the fewest benefits, and served as the primary "refugees go here" dumpster. Germany doesn't really contribute as much unless you count loans which the UK was supposed to pay for.

My question is what the heck happens to EU funding? Where are they going to find the money?

texit related: is there literally any factor in texas leaving the US that wouldn't improve the US dramatically at the expense of our worst citizens?

Well it's the second most important state economically, just behind California. Also it controls the large majority of oil discoveries (by barrel) in the US. So no, Texas leaving would p much tank the US economy overnight.

Then again it's one of the two States that could survive completely on its own, being a net exporter of both goods and services. So it's one of the like half dozen states that could secede and do just fine, difference being an independent Texas (or California) would be possible while the others would rely heavily on assistance.

Of course the whole conversation is stupid because Texans like being in the U.S. and the only people who bring up secession are literally insane and there are probably less than a thousand of them in the whole state.

I am pissed off we are leaving as I do a lot of work in Europe (or did...we are having massive debates at work at the moment about the impact, including moving offices and staff), but I am even more pissed off that so many people that were vehemently "LEAVE!" as a loving protest vote against the government and immigration, rather than the EU as a whole, who never expected us to actually leave, now don't know if they made the right choice. A lot have poo poo like holiday homes in Spain and take 2 holidays a year on the contintent. Bunch of loving retards.

I am not a millenial either.

Congrats on being pissed off I suppose. I'm guessing you must be an investment banker since nothing is going to change for anyone but them.

Please can you link me to the font of knowledge that explains how everything will work RE the movement of labour across Europe that you seem to have?

And, no I work in IT.

I wish I was a banker.

Odds are you'll end up with some form of open border, but assuming you don't you'll do it the way everyone else in the world does. People travel internationally for work all the time with no problem.
