Congrats Mississippi! Your economy is better than the UK's GDP!

I've gotten into some "Brits react" youtube channels lately... I can't imagine how dull and drab their lives are. Makes me feel very blessed to be an American.

They are a nation of consumers and debtors.

They hate the wealthy because they have no wealth and no clue (and no money thanks to their tax system) to build it.

Beans on toast should tell you everything you need to know.

In all seriousness, what does the UK produce and give to the world?

I saw a video of someone walking around the UK and it's shocking how they destroyed it is . It's like one big downtown LA now. The guy filming was scared to death to be filming because he knows that if they see him walking around with a camera filming, he might get his throat slit

Yep, all services and no goods. This is why they did not want the US doing anything with Iran. Iran was a cash cow for the banking, insurance cartels.

We had a British couple move in next door to us when we lived in Katy. They couldn’t believe they could afford a 3,000 sf house with a pool here, and were amazed by things as simple as our movie theaters and when we took them to the skating rink with their kids.

Needless to say they never wanted to have to go back.

And that was probably before they got around to paying their taxes, too.

Beans on toast ain't bad if you're choosing to do it. Not many would though.

It is a curse however, if you have to eat it because you're broke af and believe the man is making you eat it.

They’re serfs with virtually no individual freedoms, an economy that’s been gutted via globalism and a job market diluted by mass immigration to the point that wages don’t meet expenses.

They’re neo-socialists because the version of “capitalism” they’ve been exposed to has provided them virtually none of the upward mobility Americans have experienced.

I've lived in Europe and I've lived in Mississippi. If you put a gun to my head and made me choose it wouldn't be Mississippi.
