the end of UK.. RIP.

I am convinced ByHiSellLo has a head injury, and believes this is 1809.

He is dressed like this today:

80% of jobs in services sector. now

80% of jobs in farming in 1800's

economies change. production and consumption. technology etc

auto workers will get new jobs in new industries.

there was very few IT jobs in the 1970's



Quote from Batman28:

this little island - peanuts compared to the US of A did everything to be and remain one of the leading financial centres.. a quick look into economics books will tell of the great era of "privatisaion" in Britain and its "comparative advantage" in the services..

the UK was effectively a financial services economy.. from banking, global pension funds to insurance and anything u can think of..

in London they don't make cars or grow bananas, there are no factories or any raw materials. but there are thousands of building blocks of offices - for the services sector most of which if not all are financial services related.. a quick taxi trip in the city can give a good view of how many are empty now days.

this little island doesn't produce anything meaningful.. with ridiclous charges imposed in as many different ways to keep it rolling.. from $10 train single way train journeys, congestion charges, tax on anything u can think of, mandatory insurance taxes on anything possible.. I'm surprised you're not charged for breathing in the UK..

It never had a dime of materia, it lost its factories decades ago and now it's about to lose its service sector..

this is the end of britain as we knew it..

anyways the question now is, where is best to move for living now.. I surely don't want to learn Mandarin, but I hear honk kong or singapore are pretty nice places to be.. even some states in the middle east or how about south america? canada? Australia?

people in the 1950's predicted that people will not have to work IN THE FUTURE cause machines will do all the 'work' for us.

more leisure time.

the farming industry with all it's machinery and automation has required less workers. farming technology has created bigger crops and more yield in the fields==high productivity.

My sister lives in the UK, when I told her its time to move she said, "I like being in a first world country", too which I replied a solvent banking system is a prerequisite of a first world country, sorry the UK no longer qualifies.
 
Quote from Anaconda:

Uhm, you're wrong. The people of Germany, Denmark & Netherlands did not want the Euro. They wanted national sovereigntiy and did not want a group of bureaucrats controlled by the elites trumping their national laws.

Nations like Italy & Greece wanted the Euro because their economies are a joke and they benefited, by essentially leeching off the productive nations like Germany.

I agree about bureaucrats and elites, I know.

But about the benefits, it's not that simple.
Who buys the products of Germany ? People like me, in Italy and in other euro countries. How could I buy those good quality german products, if I had a debased currency in my pockets ?
The relationships are complex. As you know, the benefits from a stable and common currency are multiple and reciprocal. What I appreciate most is the legacy from the Bundesbank.


@BuyHiSellLo
You said "every few months does a story circulate about them leaving the Euro"
The fact that it circulates on british newpapers, doesn't make that story true. Since I'm in Italy, I should know better that you. And frankly, all this huge anti-euro propaganda, is only discrediting your press.

Then there are no more first countries anymore.
 
so now that we agree that the UK is doomed and is not a good place to be for the next 5 years, what are the top 3 countries that will do well over the next 5 years?
