Does anyone have a small graph of what happened to the US economy in 1776? I would like to examine a single day of it so that I can extrapolate the entire future from it and retroactively determine whether leaving the BE was a sound financial move.

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.

Let the Texans have the soil, we just need what's under it. Long live the Republic of California.

In 300 yards your offspring will all be railing against my conservative philosophy of everything being equal and awesome in every way. They'll take to the streets and start creating new differences among themselves just so they can have someone to hate.

I think we should focus on the real cause of the problem, British exceptionalism. Every loving time Europe unites under a single banner the British go and ruin it. The people's of Europe began coalescing under the banner of the Roman Catholic Church, creating a truly free euro zone with Latin as a lingua franca and christ as a shared cultural touchstone through which all Europeans could learn to treat each other as brethren through.


And then someone hosed it all up by translating the bible into the vulgar tongues.

The death of Europe began in 1522. The last 500 years of history have just been the Occidental Giant slowly falling. When he hits the ground we will all be gone.

The Brexit is a consequence of Persian aggression at Plataea, which is itself a response to the Assyrian collapse. Europe needs to present a unified front or else risk being overrun by the nigh-invincible peoples of the Steppe.

Praise God, Putin has the foresight to keep Ukraine from being able to unite under a single tribal leader. I know the mayfly lifestyle of Americans leads to short memories, but we are only 200 years removed from almost 3 millenia of Steppe dominance. The agrarians need to drive the killing blow into migratory people's now, while we still can.


Never forget, the Middle East took 600 years to recover from the Mongol Invasion.

you're failing to understand the significance of what it means when the value of your currency suddenly drops to a 30 year low overnight. all of those "people who have lots and lots of pounds" are moving them out of the UK, and the resulting credit crunch will have a major negative impact on the british economy. hundreds of major corps are already talking about shifting their offices out of the UK resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of jobs-- you can't possibly believe this is a good thing no matter your political ideology

You make it sound like the entire world economy depends on the rich playing a game of "Prisoner's Dilemma". Why would you be upset if the entire system crumbled and we started over from scratch?

Lol at the idea of wanting autonomy but also flirting with closer economic ties with the US. If anything is done government to government, let me explain how the united states work because you've clearly been asleep for a while: We like to think we own anything we invest in. A powerful trade agreement/market unification with the US just ensures that canada and UK annexation are imminent, and that's basically half of oceania by landmass. Becoming maybe three states tops getting two senators and proportional representation in the house, or even putting your rear end on the road to that, is a significantly worse deal than you would have just staying in the EU.
