Even If that was true, then they're doing a piss-poor job of it.If you say something will happen that you know won't, and do it with the intent to try to fearmonger, I don't consider that to be simple speculation. And like I said, he has a massive problem of talking about Ireland like it's far more culturally similar to America than it really is.
And yeah, even someone as lacking in wokeness as me doesn't like his attitudes towards women either.
I freely admit I wince at some of his statements..
But, I can kind of see some of his points about reproductive necessity. The fact is, if the costs of living are so expensive, such that a couple has no choice but to work full time+ overtime just to make ends meet, and add in the costs if raising kids, in terms of time and money...
That is a recipie for creating a dwindling population. No time or money = no kids.

Shit, sorry for not replying to you.
And yeah, I agree that people should be able to afford to have kids and have an actual liveable life.

So, I literally just found out this is happening tonight. At 23:00 GMT (6PM EST, 3PM PT) the UK will leave the EU. At least, that's what they're saying.

Why are people so afraid of the UK leaving? No country should ever be ruled by a mass of body the people never voted for. That was one of Farage greatest talking points. The EU was literally appointing people to level of power without telling the nations that are part of the EU. Don’t people find that scary, that an organization like that elects people behind close doors?
The UK once upon a times thrives without being part of a group, I think they’ll survive.

It's only those crazy lefties who hate their own country that are so saddened and upset over it.

Something tells me the UK will do just fine. They knew how to rule most of the world, at once point. So they should be smart enough to survive after leaving the EU.
In a broader sense, the UK will probably be fine (though it looks like Scotland might actually pull away this time). It would be more convincing, though, if they weren't so desperate to still have access to the parts of the EU they liked.
A clean break is one thing, but this is anything but.
Anyone who really thinks Johnson is going to funnel all that money back (that's mostly been wasted anyway) in to the coffers of the common man, though? I feel bad for you.

But why feel bad for them? Those people should really know better by now.
Or as Bush once so eloquently put it: "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."
