And you wonder why your countries have a problem with immigration.
How do you enforce it when you have a shortage of both resources and institutional infrastructure required to defend your regional borders, while you waste what you have guarding your internal ones?
It'd be like the US trying to resolve its illegal crossing issue by guarding the internal borders of all 50 States.
What an inefficient waste of resources.
Yep
That's why a USE is the answer to immigration concerns.
USE?
United States of Europe.
Ah, yes.
<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
You just can't escape that US influence.
We did it first. ๐
I can dream. Let me have that <:PepeHands:543597836709658635>
There's some internal immigration issues with the EU.
Such as Poles headed over to the UK for work
Because the wages are a lot higher
BUT.
That's due to wealth inequality
I've heard about that.
Fund better jobs in Poland and they won't be coming over taking ours.
Basically:
Eastern Europeans come West, for either that beautiful welfare state, or minimum wage jobs.
Employers will have to become more competitive, which is what naturally occurs.
You want labor competition.
Because not everyone is in the Eurozone, IE only using the Euro, our currency (Pound / Euro) is worth more than their shit.
Indeed; the Euro is the second most highly liquid currency in the world, second only to the USD.
We have higher minimum wages as well.
I 100% see why they do it.
*Reaches over to lobby for eliminating minimum wages from all European countries*

You'll have plenty of Italians to mop your shops, then.
Lmao, no just Polish shops popping up everywhere
**polski sklep**
To be honest these issues will go away in 20 or so years
As their wages and standard of living increase
Indeed, Weez.
You'll see uniformity in markets, including labor.
@Tonight at 11 - DOOM Can you tell the Poles to stop coming, I don't need to see more **POLSKI SKLEP** everywhere
Yep
From that, stability
Along with this, you require greater labor mobility.
From that, unity.
So, from this, you also need to encourage the vehicular travel industry. <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
Much like the way we did in the U.S.
Labor mobility is vital to that process.
We don't *really* have much of that issue
We have a VAST rail network
It's VERY easy for labour to move around in Europe
@Weez We get TESCOs everywhere, you get Polski Skleps, deal with it, Anglo.
That's part of the problem. I'm talking about labor mobility beyond the rail.
Hell, right now I could just get the train to Italy and start work there tomorrow.
Ah beyond that
I'm not sure if our car-ownership rates differ that much from America
Rails aren't the most efficient means of encouraging labor mobility, as they're limited to where the rails are laid.
Well, it depends on the country.
Very true
The West is definitely at US rates
Buy those, they're cheap and surprisingly good for what they are:

Next **POLSKI SKLEP** I go past, I'll head on in
Got any other recommendations?
think someone will buy a broke washing machine on ebay if you advertise it as broken/pressure switch problem
Probably yeah
its a ยฃ450 washing machine...
so like... ยฃ200 seem reasonable?
Not rly. Gherkins tend to be good quality in Polan, but I dunno what actual produce you get over there.
cos I can buy a new one for 200
They get like 5 years warranty standard
its 6yrs old
**God bless regulation**
Ah
Flog that bastard then
I'd start at 175 personally..
The Polish equivalent of Jaffa Cakes are also pretty good. The jelly is firmer and the chocolate less sweet.
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41Rv-WdMsyL._SY355_.jpg
Is this stuff cheap?
probably
Maybe I'll find myself a decent Polish girl behind the counter
like a Prince Polo bar is about 0.5 USD in Polan
Idk what prices you'll get in Northern Pakistan
I'm not in Northern Pakistan! ๐
Sure you're not *pat pat*
<:PepeHands:543597836709658635>
Can we please just take the Slav immigrants
Over the "Asian" ones?
At least the Slav ones don't smell.
Ok so your plans of a united Europe is going to face challenges. Like nationalism, geographical issues, historical, popularity and economic issues.
Nationalism: is pretty obvious, people arenโt necessarily willing to die for Europe, there isnโt that strong bond between Europeans. Plus people want independent nation states for them and their people.
Economically: Britain, France and Germany pay for majority of functions. Mediterranean nations are in huge amounts of debt as well.
Historic issues: are like Yugoslavia and the USSR. These nations that came from these places hate each other, F.E. Croatia and Serbia. Or Greece and Macedonia.
Popularity: obviously it is a split issue if Europe should be united. The EU is blamed for the migrant crisis and the meme ban. But also broke some of its promises, like that it wouldnโt be a independent country or wouldnโt have a army. But now it does. The EUโs optics donโt look good, with guy V talking about how theyโre a empire, and how this is the age of empires. Obviously to have a country, it needs popular sovereignty. Which the EU really doesnโt have atm.
Geographically: Again, Poland worries about Russia b/c it borders it and is in the Northern European plane. Ireland doesnโt have to worry about this and doesnโt care. Like we agreed on earlier nations worry about themselves
Conclusion: youโre going to have to deal with bad elites, the shape of were itโs at and issues different countries deal with. Youโre going to have to deal with power imbalances but also the fact the EU isnโt seen as legitimate by most.
@wacka, what Weez said; I sell failed motherboards all the time, especially if I don't have the time to deal with them myself. Buyers looking for a good deal, by way of self-repair or resale, will be your likely market. There are times when manufacturers scout listings for refurbishing as well.
Interestingly Nationalism is most prevalent during times of financial crisis, I believe as Europe becomes more prosperous then nationalism will subside.
Interestingly, thereโs been an increase in support for the EU since the Brexit referendum, across the bloc.
tbh if i get 100 ... and they collect.. thats like paying for half of a brand new one
That's the idea. ๐
