maybe we can exchange some of the deadbeat states, like, mississippi, Missouri, Idaho and Montana for the UK?

Nah, we should finish the job by invading and abolishing the monarchy.
Either that, or use the IMF to do it...but, who am I kidding, ya'll would feed poor Britons to the wolves before making Old Man Charles go without.

I still find it hilarious that British voters were presented with an alternative to Brexit and Tory policies that were clearly killing their economy, and yet they were all like "eh.... but I don't want to have a pint with the Labour leader, though...." and voted to just voluntarily keep declining.

brexit voters are like maga voters. They don't care about the decline, they care about other things (u know, those things)

Actually I read once that during the War of 1812, there was an American commander who wanted to invade Britain. History would be very different if his wishes had been granted

Pound is truly tanking hard and I don't see how it doesn't dive even more with Truss' tax cuts for the rich. I'd say we deserve it, but I also don't want the vast majority of us to suffer because of a handful of evil corrupt monsters when the polls have the Tories utterly decimated in popularity.

So on a certain level I can see how people could be suckered in brexit. The housing crisis in London is absolutely exacerbated by the huge amount of Eastern European migrants that live and work in the city's service industry. So if you are kind of a clueless racist you could easily be like "well if you get rid of them migrants you could fix the housing problem" but that's simply not the case. The housing crisis though is actually conglomeration of about 10 different problems, all of which are structural to the way the UK government and economy works. Not to mention the problems that have now come with the booting out of a huge chunk of your service industry employees.

It's not that, it's that Liz Truss and (Kami)Kwasi Kwarteng decided to unveil a truly ridiculous budget last Friday that slashes taxes for higher earners, removes the highest income tax bracket altogether, and has literally nothing in place to recoup that money from elsewhere.

Which is intentionally. It will allow them to privatize huge chunks of the NHS. They don't seem to realize that support for Scottish independence is higher now than ever, and this kind of shit just drives it higher. If Scotland goes Northern Ireland will go within the next 20 or so.

UK used to be the world dominant power.

They used to be feared.

Now America has become the biggest empire in the world.

before the uk there was spain, and before spain there was portugal.

The latter 2 learned to cope with no longer being *the empire* . Why can't the UK?

all UK would not be 1 state anyway. It would he multiple states

England
Wales
Scotland
North Ireland

But maybe further broken up. England alone could probably be multiple states

Can you go to the doctor without going broke? Can you stop your employer from firing you without cause? Can you go to college/university without taking a loan with predatory interests rates?

Yes because I have insurance.

Dont need that.

I have a bachelors degree from a major university in the USA.

Biden already gave me $10,000 in loan forgiveness and I dont think it will be long before we get total debt erasure soon.

To be fair, even in places where the employer can fire you for no reason, you get to collect unemployment afterwards.

I've also never heard of a person...any person... being literally "fired for no reason." It probably happens in small businesses, but a decently-sized company isn't going to fire ppl for no reason...that's a dumb idea.

You also can get good student loans in America with very low interest rates. Many people choose to use credit cards or something stupid instead.

Medical bills: we all just planning on dying if we get sick.
