    Brexit Bullshit

    Cameron should have been one to do that. He already shot himself in the gut being one that triggered this whole mess, might as well finish it and himself off. But I'm afraid he's missing something crucial, right Bill? Veez, it is also true. There is also Spain drooling over Gibraltar, and petition to retry refferendum bloated to enourmous sizes by the bots (which is not gonna go anywhere anyway). Its a big, multilayered shitcake we have going on here

    Brexit Bullshit

    They are unlikely to leave UK since they need welfare from someone, and EU said they won't just take them in just like that. They would need to keep afloat for few years while trying to tick all the boxes EU tosses at them, also fun fact, none of member states right now does not meet criteria for joining EU. They need UK, badly. As for EU itself, my 2 main bugbears are stagnating economy, and overwhelming bureaucracy. Predecesors of current EU were designed as free trade unions that benefited all it's member states, making their businesses more competitive against ones from outside union. Currently, thanks to World Trade Organization, tariffs on products from outside EU have fallen drasticly to 12% on agricultural products and 4% manufacured goods, but years of protectionism have left large amounts of unefficient manufactures weak and not able to compete with flood of cheaper/better products from all over the world. That stumped the growth to almost halt or sometimes small regress, and increased unemployment that also does not help. But that's a not thing that bugs me most, but the constant regulation of businesses. It favours big corporations that send their people to lobby changes that are they can deal with, and small businesses can't. It reminds me one of pillars of communism - centrally controlled economy, where party decides what and how will be produced to keep even inefficient running, except with a twist to hinder anyone trying to get into manufacturing/running whatever. The other bigger bugbear is the EU itself is basicly definition of bureaucracy, with little to nothing being done in a way you and me can do anything about. Your only influence in the process is choosing your MEP and writing angry letters. Your MEP can only vote on anything European Commision has farted out. No proposing new laws, no changes to old ones, nothing. European commision is body that does not answer to nobody, is put together from people no one heard about or voted for. These people while sitting in their building, that eerily resembles Tower of Babel, grow more and more deattached from reality, scribbling laws and regulations noone asked for (apart from corporations that lobbied for them). Not really. British export to EU last year was 11073.00 million GBP of 44945.00 million GBP total. Main export partners are: the United States (16.6 percent), Germany (10.7 percent), France (6.3 percent), the Netherlands (6.1 percent), Ireland (5.9 percent) and China (4.5 percent). Their best sellers are: Machines, engines, pumps: US$63.9 billion (13.9% of total exports) Gems, precious metals: $53 billion (11.5%) Vehicles: $50.7 billion (11%) Pharmaceuticals: $36 billion (7.8%) Oil: $33.2 billion (7.2%) Electronic equipment: $29 billion (6.3%) Aircraft, spacecraft: $18.9 billion (4.1%) Medical, technical equipment: $18.4 billion (4%) Organic chemicals: $14 billion (3%) Plastics: $11.8 billion (2.6%) These are not bread and oranges, these kind of products are gonna sell anyway, even with 4% tariff on them. And since they will not have EU tariffs on import, Ghana and Malaysia are already all over their dick trying to score some nice deals.

    I wouldn't say so yet. It is to be seen what will happen, but I don't think Scotland leaving UK is likely. We'll have to see. Thing is, that you burgers need to understand, EU is not a federation, no matter how much president Juncker wants it to be so. It's states are supposed to be sovereign, and with current leadership it's questionable (exhibit 1. polish Constitutional Court debacle, with EU going full sperg mode, just when Luxembourg is trying to delete it's all together because it's in the way). EU is a sinking ship, especially now, with gaping hole where UK was. Constructive thing to do now for Brussels is to analyze their mistakes and develop a new plan of action to avoid domino effect of next states leaving. France is already near the door, and looking at how well will bongs do on their own.

    Stop your hysteria, in europe there are other countries that are not in EU and they are doing perfectly fine, it's not end of the world. More people voted A than B, so A is chosen. This is how democracy works, get over it.

    Orlando Shootings

    Assault rifle is a term tossed by the media every time they see something else than generic fudd guns in wood and shit. Semi automatic weapon or modern sporting rifle does not sound as scary.
