The number one comment on the number one meme. I'm honestly overjoyed. It is progress... baby steps baby steps

lol, all the reactions to brexit

What ever happened to the Human Race?

I don't live in Britain, but saying it's a good thing makes almost no sense, only that they have "more freedom" is about it. Them leaving affects their economy and the U.S economy. :l Not to mention the likely split of the UK as well.

I agree with you. I live in the US, but I feel bad for the UK, even though many of her citizens may like the idea of starting over independently. Unity is what this world needs more of. Not secession. Especially if it starts a chain reaction!

Scotland wants independence to be part of the European Union.

Pretty sure Scotland's wanted independence for about 800 years now....

As I Brit, the situation in Britain is like this

Kermit's not stupid

It is a bold move cotton, the Birtish are saying enough is enough. The real question is are they saying enough is enough because of how well the past/current British crown territories outside the UK are having it? Because if that is the cause than the crown and British are finding more solace with their heritage neighbors than geographic neighbors. Then the long term series of events are only leading to the British forming trade unions with their western heritage cousins, which might provide a better long run production advantage (producing shared heritage widgets). One day the US might reach out to more of our European ancestors than Britain (whose crown was unusually cruel prior to the war treaty of 1812) and develop a better certification (PDO/PGI/TSG) mark system.

Many actually regret voting to leave

Yes, the results of such drastic actions effects are usually ambiguous in the short term. The simplest model involves taxes, property rights(regulations), wealth holdings (M0,M1,,,), labor(regulations), and net export(regulations) as exogenous variables. The EU has an advantage in all but wealth holdings. I'm an economist I only know utility as a person's greed; so I am not going to speak about utility from an emotion view. It will take weeks for the accountants to separate non-foreign taxed Pound transactions from Euro (and other non-monetary M0 confederate nations) holdings. The EU is not making any drastic regulation change. They are switching the UK's status from member to non-member which will have a large upfront tax payment to keep business as usual ( existing contracts have to be fulfilled). Meanwhile commonwealth companies can start bidding on British produced intermediate goods, because the changes means Germany might reject further contracts because the UK's status change. Ford North America might want Mercedes grade manifolds at existing prices... I am more concerned with the property rights British Kingdom or European Kingdom sailors which might be denied the right to enter a EU port with a commercial load...Think about the humanity as vacationers start planning a Brittany, France - to Denmark free cruise, because the British Isles started charging a EU exiting cruise ships an entry port fee.

France, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Hungary could leave as well.
Central planning ALWAYS has unintended consequences and more often than not, those consequences are worse than the problem the planners were trying to solve.

British think they are full of themselves...

^^^^ You're American aren't you?

Yeah, and judging by my downvotes people can't take a joke, I know the USA wasn't perfect at all during those times as well...

See, thank you for understanding!

I'm willing to admit Canada is a very close second

Nope

Feel free to name a better country

Not sure if I should say ''I make up the minority'' or ''I am in the minority'' or maybe I used the right phrase, but wgaf!?

Either way, the grammar nazis may pay you a visit.

Thanks for the lol.
