Total Boomer Death.
I personally don't like the anti boomer sentiment. What they're doing and saying is retarded yes, but for the average boomer it's really not their fault.

They grew up in a world that made sense. They're simply not equipped to understand the current one. This happens to all people who age, but i think it's particularly bad with boomers due to the internet split and the fact that they still assume the news has any incentive to be objective because it did when they were our age.

I've actually had success getting my very left wing parents to understand things. You have to do one issue at a time very gradually but it is possible.
 
The last season of The Boys -- and Sausage Party come to think of it -- they were pretty explicitly "Fuck Trump" seasons.
That is pretty awful. I guess the people that want stuff like that will eat it up. But a show becomes less and less (re)watchable the further away you get from whatever current event it is referencing.

Anti-Trump shit is going to be Leviathan-tier cringe in the future.
 
Tillis doesn't yet realize how much he is going to regret what he has done.
He thinks he's gonna be able to just not run again for Senate and retire to some BS consulting job one of his lobbies has cooked up for him. He doesn't understand that Trump's DoJ is gonna uncover every skeleton in his closet and bankrupt him.
 
If I understand correctly, they're probably willing to take an extra large buttfucking here in exchange for being the first one to have a deal.

There is going to be a flood of investment into the UK announced in the coming weeks simply due to the fact that it's the only place that has a deal, there is certainty there and markets like certainty.

Macroeconomics are confusing as fuck but that aspect alone is a massive win for the UK that's difficult to quantify. I imagine this will be the case for the first 10 or so countries that sign.
 
Overall I think the primary objective of the deal was diplomatic in nature. The UK rushed to get in first with negotiating something and show a willingness to play ball.

That said however, the UK's largest exports to America are engines and cars, the former of which we won't have to pay a tariff on at all apparently, alongside steel and aluminium.
Rolls-Royce in particular makes a lot of very large, important industry-oriented engines. Trump joked about the cars in the press conference but that is only one part of their business.

Also, this deal seems oriented in a manner not so much that it will snuff out domestic farming, but rather steal market share from the EU, who Trump was not hesitant to speak Ill of.

Overall it seems like a mutually beneficial deal, and I’m excited to see the changes on the ground.

Also also, quit being a bunch of faggots and shitting on (white) British people all the time. I get that it’s part of the Redditfarms groupthink but it just looks pathetic.
