Just read that the US stock market is about to collapse tomorrow because of the Brexit. All of our markets are about to drop 4-5% in the morning according to current predictions. That’s not far below the early days of the 2008 collapse. And that’s going to somehow be blamed on Obama, which is not good for the Democrats in November. The UK’s fascists kind of just fucked over the entire world.
No. It managed to fuck over the US. Shockingly, the U.S and Europe are not the whole fucking world. The rest of us exist and we are much larger than the US and UK combined. We’ll be fine. Let’s not act as if y'all are a superpower that can effect us anymore. You’re not.
The US is 24.6% of the global economy. The EU is 21.9% of the global economy (26% if the UK is included). Both are large enough trading partners with the other economic powers that trouble for us means trouble for China, which makes up 15% of the global economy, and Japan, which makes up another 6%. Between just those four nations/entities, even if no other nation is affected in any way (which is obviously impossible), it has a negative effect on 71.6% of the global economy.
So maybe take a moment to think before you speak, especially if you’re going to get self-righteous on a subject you clearly know less than nothing about.
I think it’s fascinating how Jasper is pretty much the only gem who, when confronted by her “enemies” doesn’t attack as her first reaction, but instead asks “why”. And not just once, but practically every time.
To Steven: Rose, why do you look like that? Why are you so weak?
To Garnet: You’re both out, and you’re fused again? Why?
To Lapis: What are you doing? (The why implied.)
And yet there are still people who call Jasper a brainless brute. Amazing.
so what you’re saying is that Jasper’s gonna be that kid poking someone (probably) all the time asking “why?”
because jasper would not shut up and stop asking questions about random shit
This reinforces my idea that nose-gems are ruled by instinct and a desire for practical knowledge.
Voting for the Brexit correlated with age: The older voters were, the more likely they were to support removing the U.K. from the E.U. And also less likely to feel the long term effects. For voters, Brexit essentially came down to two things.
That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.
Me as a thief: Steals the US Constitution. Replaces it with a perfect forgery, except the Second Amendment has been edited from “the right to bear arms” to “the right to bare arms.” Breaking News the next day: Nation has been misreading the Constitution for over 200 years. Historians mortified. Politicians scramble to save face. Gun control laws go into effect nationwide. School principals trying to punish high school girls for wearing tank tops get slapped with a lawsuit for violating their Second Amendment right to bare arms. I fall asleep on a mountain of money in my mansion in the Bahamas. Suck it Nicolas Cage.
