All I'm saying is that the "global community" (sigh) should thank Nigel Farage for forestalling the Rapture.
When you "short", you effectively borrowing stock (or currency) from someone for a fee, and sell it immediately. You hope that the price will go down so that you'll later buy at a lower price to cover what you borrowed. When you borrow, you don't buy the whole stock, you just pay "renting fee". This allows you to manipulate a LOT of stock with little money. Of course is you're wrong and the price actually goes up, you'll lose $$.
The Swiss aren't decades ahead of the curve, they're centuries ahead of it. The Swiss were largely autonomous during the Holy Roman Empire when nobody else in Central Europe had much to say about their own governance and laws. You could argue that the Swiss have been their own political entity since about 1291, although historians put the date of the formation of Swiss neutrality at 1815 or so when the Congress of Vienna fully re-established Swiss independence after Napoleon's defeat.
Camembert is a soft cheese made from cow's milk produced in France and if you can get it made with unpasteurized milk, it gets very ripe and tasty quicker than the type made with pasteurized milk. _
Globalization screws most people in a first world society and helps most people in a third world society. That's because the first worlders are thrown into competition with the third worlders and have much more to lose and any gains the third worlders make are manna from heaven given they had jack squat to start with.
Ugh. I just fucking KNEW you couldn't keep it in this Century. That's all very nice, but the point isn't WHY they remain apart from the EU, the point is THAT they do. They still needed to work out favorable trade deals, immigration policy and maintain political separation in the process back here in the modern world. They've done that successfully and they've thrived without this mythical need to join the club for access to the common market. That's all pretext. In truth, it's about having to sack about 10,000 busy-body bureaucrats living fat and happy in Brussels.
so i did some research on this for a minute and apparently it paves the way for the antichrist. Must be Trump.
The British are frantically Googling what the E.U. is, hours after voting to leave it The whole world is reeling after a milestone referendum in Britain to leave the European Union. And although leaders of the campaign to exit Europe are crowing over their victory, it seems many Britons may not even know what they had actually voted for. Awakening to a stock market plunge and a precipitous decline in the value of the pound that Britain hasn't seen in more than 30 years, voters now face a series of economic shocks that analysts say will only worsen before they improve. The consequences of the leave vote will be felt worldwide, even here in the United States, and some British voters say they now regret casting a ballot in favor of Brexit. [Live updates: Britain votes to leave the European Union] "Even though I voted to leave, this morning I woke up and I just — the reality did actually hit me," one woman told the news channel ITV News. "If I'd had the opportunity to vote again, it would be to stay." That confusion over what Brexit might mean for the country's economy appears to have been reflected across the United Kingdom on Thursday. Google reported sharp upticks in searches not only related to the ballot measure but also about basic questions concerning the implications of the vote. At about 1 a.m. Eastern time, about eight hours after the polls closed, Google reported that searches for "what happens if we leave the EU" had more than tripled. immigration fears as it was about the global economy. But despite the all-out attempts by either side to court voters, Britons were not only mystified by what would happen if they left the E.U.— many seemed not to even know what the European Union is.

This was kind of an inevitable thing. The working class has been kicked in the teeth over and over again since the beginning of real globalization in the early 90's. Declining pensions, austerity, fewer jobs and less compensation for them due to competition from workers in emerging markets, etc. The elites have forgotten that revolution is a real problem when society is perceived as being completely unbalanced in their favor. What happened in England today was essentially everybody else telling the urban elites to go fuck themselves. That everybody else got hurt also is kind of secondary since the elites weren't feeling much pain at all.
Start drug testing for unemployment and welfare and watch how fast Americans start doing the dirty work again.
he had to resign he was the major proponent of staying It'd be hard for them to get EU membership, considering...
