Your personal situation, whilst absolutely fascinating to all of us ???? is Irrelevant. I earn in Thai Baht so it's great for me too. It has nothing to do with the wider picture being discussed in the current debate. 

 

You are correct that a weak currency does have some benefits though. Strangely you only point that when when discussing the weak AUD but at the same time use it as a stick to bash the weak GBP. Why? Because you have an irrational hatred of all things British.

 

Some educational reading for you.

Haha. I don’t have any of my emotional worth invested in how my base currency is doing, unlike some others here. 
 

Nor am i actively voting against my own economic interest, just so I can clutch a useless blue passport. 
 

Ed: as for the article, thanks for sharing something you’d learn in year 10 economics. Riveting. 
 

What the article doesn’t say is that the AUDs long term average has been around where it is now.
 

For the UK, well is been downhill for a while which reflects poorly on your economy. And what year 11 economics tells you is that you don’t devalue your way to prosperity.

     Who in their right mind ,

would vote on leaving  the EU  without knowing the terms and conditions involved.

   Answer , easy manipulated , brain dead brexitears .  Thx farage ..

    

The big red busses provided a detailed convincing argument. I mean, what more argument does one need than three word slogans to make national policy?

Did anyone explain that to them, because they appear to be under the misapprehension that nonparticipants opinions even matter.

Always a sad pathetic sight seeing ex servicemen not adjusting well to the fact you can’t order people around in real life. Comes across loud and clear with a few posters on these brexit threads. 
 

If you want people to act like trained lapdogs you should have stayed in the  military. 
 

If you don’t want to hear people’s opinion on this, you perhaps better stay in your Facebook brexiter ‘safe spaces’ where you can avoid people disagreeing with you.

How the Brexit 'oven ready' deal coming on? 555

The oven is on the blink apparently.

Why is it that so many of those vehemently against a full proper clean whole independent Brexit are not even UK citizens?

You can do what you want.
 

But just because I (an Australian), will likely be a huge beneficiary of the UKs misfortune, doesn’t mean I’ve concluded that Brexit is the smartest move in the world.
 

Actually, it’s pretty dumb.

But that’s not right is it. The right getting censored out of the “national conversation” by internet monopolies with hard left viewpoints. 
 

they need to be split up and have laws drawn up that if you are a platform, ya gotta have equal viewpoints - or face lawsuits. 

Wow, I thought you were a paid up member of the right?
 

And here you are advocating government interference in business independence. That’s what scummy hippy socialists want. 
 

Strange, very strange indeed. Sure you aren’t a hippy? 
 

There is nothing inherently monopolistic about Facebook. It’s having its technological day in the sun, and it will eventually be replaced by something else. Just like every other dominant technology that came before it. 
 

A monopoly means there are barriers to entry to do what you do. There is no law nor unreasonable cost imposed from you trying to emulate them. 
 

And that is market forces - you know, the thing you are supposed to be an advocate of?

I happen to support not having to pay more taxes  as in a obamacare's mandate(forced, if one doesn't have insurance or doesn't meet obamas requierment criteria),  annual payment ,close to 700 dollars per person annually!  It works very well for me! 

Your comment is correct about the source being a source.I wouldn't think a progressive source would support my particular  circumstances!

 

 

Universal health care systems involve a trade off. 
 

Slightly higher taxes (or mandated health fund contributions in the case of some EU countries), whilst giving up having to pay eye watering for profit health insurance premiums. 
 

Better health outcomes for half the price. 
 

For some reason American conservatives who pride themselves on being superior economic managers seem to think that paying more and getting less is the way to go.

Truely bizarre...

Gotta love lefties creating their own definitions for bannable and moderated offenses.

 

It would be like having "The Squad" moderate the largest social media platform on the planet. 

Hardly ‘lefties’.

Consumer brands identifying with their demographic and putting their advertising money where they see fit. 
 

I don’t see the evil hand of government getting in the way here. 
 

If the wingnuts want to go and start up their own ubiquitous social media platform on which to air their views, no one is stopping them.

This is capitalism at its finest.

So long as it is voluntary. Any attempt to make a federal measure to make it mandatory should Biden win will not go well. 

Its strange. People have no problem with the social construct of having to wear pieces of cloth over certain parts of our body that may cause others offence. It’s not seen as a gross infringement of liberty. 
 

But a small piece of cloth over your nose and mouth while in public to help prevent unnecessary death? 
 

Well, let’s start another conservative culture war over that!

If only someone could have foreseen this...

So what you condone 1000's of people gathering for the protests thinking that wont effect CV infection rates, you are a idiot

You aren’t really good at reading if you interpreted my post as condoning it.

But neither do I like people pushing BS agendas.

Poor confused Joe said the US has 120 million deaths from Wuhan virus (a.k.a. Coronavirus).  He needs to go back to his basement in Maryland.

I see what you did there. You can’t get away with lying he’s got Alzheimer’s...So you’ll call him ‘confused’. 
 

What are the other code words are the angry old Facebook victim hood groups using these days?

At this point I would honestly consider Medicare for All if just one single mainstream politician would lay it out in a way that ticks all the boxes and the math adds up, but they dont. 

Meh. Literally every single OECD country. Better health outcomes for half the money.  
 

But, you’re Americans, and you’re all special. So it won’t work.  
 

Then someone will scream ‘socialism’ and you’ll all faint from shock.
