@CMle135 @TonyWard867811 @MyWorldView8 This wasn't anything to do with brexit, but Maybe because the UK is a more productive country and would be closer to Canada's growth if we stayed in the EU.

@woke_snowflake @TonyWard867811 @MyWorldView8 Presumably Italy is showing slower growth than us because they left the EU?

The IMF just ranked Britain the worst performing major economy on the planet. Not a war torn nation. Not a failed state. Britain. Twenty five years of open borders, net zero ideology, DEI over defence and spending money we do not have. They did this to us. Not Putin. Not Trump. Not global headwinds. The people we elected. Every single one of them.

@LogicFarmer @RobinWeep @ericmmatheny If only all it took was a good idea. Capitalism will always seek the easiest, not best solution

@woke_snowflake @RobinWeep @ericmmatheny A system where one can create a product or service and sell that product or service to another who willfully wants it is very equitable. In socialism, the creator has their value stolen from them by the force of the mob and distributed to those who may not want or need it.

Flat tax. Whether you make $1000 or $100 million. A fixed percentage for everybody. And that’s it. A one-page tax form. No bullshit. Everybody pays a reasonable and equitable amount. Everyone - from the wealthiest to the poorest - have skin in the game.

@chrisw29 @TonyWard867811 @MyWorldView8 You mean growth? Because Germany has always been better, and UK per capita is lower. And I think most places show our economy grew less than it would have than if we stayed in the EU

@woke_snowflake @TonyWard867811 @MyWorldView8 🤣🤣🤣 UK has had better GDP than any other EU nation since Brexit....even with them trying hard to ruin Brexit. Check the stats moron

@mikitaposts The rest of the UK is pretty cheap compared to London. I'm guessing the OP is from Liverpool (it says LVP in bio) Google says it's almost 50% cheaper there vs London. And Liverpool won't be the cheapest to live. Also London wages are a lot higher than the national average.

In most poorer countries, at least the prices are also lower. Low cost of living. But not in the UK. You have to work longer and harder to afford the same things that I have. But at least you have good public transport and London is a very fun place to be.

This doesn’t even make sense because I visited London a few months ago and the prices there are the same as in America yet you make a lot less money on average

@DianeLadwick @TonyWard867811 @MyWorldView8 Genuinely terrified by facts isn't he

@TonyWard867811 @woke_snowflake @MyWorldView8 It’s only a forecast by experts. You fucking nonces always ignore them.

@TonyWard867811 @MyWorldView8 Everyone needs to know you're wrong.

@woke_snowflake @MyWorldView8 You lost me at TONY

@TonyWard867811 @Marrkussss So it's not the worst performing.

@Marrkussss Err... yes it is the IMF downgraded the UK yesterday for 2026 to 0.8% from 1.3% the steepest downgrade among G7 countries

@TonyWard867811 @MyWorldView8 Tony, you're very wrong. We had our growth forcast cut the most in the G7. From third highest at 1.3% to the 4th highest at 0.8%. Our growth is still Forcast to be higher than many developed nations, like Japan and Italy, just a little behind France and the same as Germany.

@MyWorldView8 Nothing to do with BREXIT, we have not run a surplus for 30 years. stop clutching and listening to MSM

@LogicFarmer @RobinWeep @ericmmatheny I would say it's proven to be the least equitable...

@woke_snowflake @RobinWeep @ericmmatheny lol...TRUE capitalism is the only equitable, moral social structure. Before capitalism, there was barbarism where he who had the most powerful use of force subjected anyone weaker. Capitalism offers willful exchange of value for desired goods or services.

@LogicFarmer @RobinWeep @ericmmatheny The inevitable result of unfettered capitalism

@woke_snowflake @RobinWeep @ericmmatheny HMMM, last time I checked that is called "corporatism"

@RobinWeep @ericmmatheny If you want everyone to benefit from generational wealth, then that's not a practical ambition. In a system where people benefit from generational wealth, there will always be drastic inequality.

@woke_snowflake @ericmmatheny Then the rate is too high. I want to focus on building generational wealth.

@LogicFarmer @RobinWeep @ericmmatheny We are 100% yes. Where in the US at least, the government works solely on behalf of corporations.

@woke_snowflake @RobinWeep @ericmmatheny You think we have a capitalist society? The ONLY corporation with which you are forced to do business with is the GOVERNMENT.

@RobinWeep @ericmmatheny Ok, but taxing only what's spent will only hurt the ones who are poorer. You want to focus on redistribution

Americans are disconnected from reality. Everyone expects top have a nice car, a good truck, a huge house, a bad ass job, a boat, a motorcycle, phone, laptop, 40 outfits, constant electricity, constant internet, and to eat anything they want at any time of the day. This is insane. None of those things increase the quality of our life. We are chimpanzees in a zoo with the ability to order toys from amazon. I want to tear down the zoo.

@RobinWeep @ericmmatheny I think there's a disconnect between your idea of incentivising saving, and creating your vision of America. I think what you'd want is a more regulated economy, but what you're suggesting is a collapse of consumerism, meaning huge portions of the population would be out of work

That's a good thing. You should not have to work 40 hours a week for a corporation that makes poison food just so you can live in a shitty apartment. 99% of all humans to have ever lived farmed, hunted, gathered, or fished. We can be smarter. All of the buildings we create today will be gone within 50 years. There are pubs in Europe that have been open for hundreds of years in the same building. The Pont du Gard bridge is 2000 years old. None of our bridges will last that long. Essentially, the US economy is the exact opposite of what it should be. It's currently geared for growth and competition and that's because we're paranoid of other nations. But, now that we have nuclear weapons, we really don't have anything to fear, unless we keep meddling in their affairs.

@LogicFarmer @RobinWeep @ericmmatheny I'd love to see your explanation on why this wouldn't tank a capitalist society.

@woke_snowflake @RobinWeep @ericmmatheny lol...you seem smart

@RobinWeep @ericmmatheny That would utterly tank any capitalist economy by the way.

@ericmmatheny Taxes should be based on what you spend, which incentivizes saving rather than debt. Sustainability is way more important than growth at our stage.

@Rod__Mason Our businesses already follow EU frameworks. EU law was mostly directly adopted into UK

Only 8% of UK businesses export to the EU. So Labour wants 100% of UK businesses to follow EU rules, despite our Brexit vote? 🇬🇧

@marducco The Argentinian settlers were not expelled.

Las Malvinas también deberían ser argentinas. Es la misma situación. No solo por cuestiones geográficas, también por cuestiones historicas ya que tenian población argentina y los ingleses la expulsaron de la isla. Un saludo Damacus.

@Domini__canes @CamusCris @Marxist777 Yeah, the point is, there was barely a colony anyway. And re was no expulsion.

@woke_snowflake @CamusCris @Marxist777 Britain had already claimed the Islands before this though.

“I’m a lefty anti-imperialist but Argentina is wrong on the Falklands”

@HegelFortniteMC @Mao_Zecum @mealdealtruther The settlers were there illegally, and were allowed to stay. You cannot in and good consciousness force the inhabitants, who have now been there for 150 years to be Argentinian. Especially given the nature of how Argentinians arrived in Argentina.

@Mao_Zecum @mealdealtruther Do you not understand that's an occupation? are you playing dumb or are you just stupid? "Yeah sure this is our now you can stay or whatever also you are brits now" cool man absolutely normal non-imperialistic behavior.

the Argentinian claim to Falklands/Malvinas is just “theyre right there though” and the map game player in me is forced to agree, that is an unimpeachable claim.
