    Yeah Canada has the same population as California with half of California's GDP so there's that. The US will have free trade with Japan soon, Japan is the third largest economy. The US and China are eyeing each other so that might happen too.

    There's a mad scramble to get trading partners.

    Who cares about their resolve.
    And let me get this straight. You want to be out of the EU and yet have no consequences in your economy?

    AFAIK the EU already pulled a plug: everything Cameron achieved in Februrary in concessions to use as argument for referendum is now null and void. silly brits.

    I thought that's why we had the TPP.

    It's not salty, it's pragmatism. If the UK decided to leave, they should leave as soon as possible so everyone can work on the new dynamic.

    Why were they "low educated"? Maybe the system abandoned them? Old people are citizens too. Old people as in people who maybe poured sweat and blood into the country?

    There's always Scotland. It's not that far away. You can walk there.

    The EU is a blackhole. The EU will devour itself. I've seen this happen before in Indian reservations.

    Is Bolivia the other LA country that's joining TPP or is that Peru?

    But TPP hasn't been ratified yet, both Trump and Hillary say they hate it.

    Then why is the London financial moving to the "blackhole" and all UK political leaders want to stall the negotiations to the 2 years mark? There are no such things as buggiemen.

    I think its Peru and Mexico. Bolivia isn't joining, we already have a free trade agreement with China.

    Well if the US wants to compete with China in gathering trade partners they better pass it.

    On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.
