Your silly Europolitics makes no sense.

the the EU way to fuck it all up once more

(we know)

So you have a vote after leaving

The EUP to give them credit do not want this

no, we wouldn't have left in March so we will have to field MEPs

Votes do not matter in the EU anyway so...

EUP get the final vote on Brexit...

vote until you get it right, it a classic EU tactic. think demark have the records on the amount of times they did need to vote on something the EU did want

The EU is designed by endless iterations from bureaucrats, to be inescapable morass where nations go to die, all in the name of "peace and prosperity" <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

and it a pyramid scheme where if you dont get new nations and money in to it it will fall apart at one point

what do you think about the shutdown? I think it's just hilarious how little importance the government has on regular life. Wonder if this is going to be a new world record. govt constantly thinks it's oh-so important but nobody actually misses it when it's gone.

not that I'd argue for complete anarchy, but I do think the current situation is pretty hilarious.

I think kt sucks for the workers

it would need to be shut down for extended periods of time to really be felt by the man on the street, though

They have to work, they can't not show up or they are in major trouble

you've got frameworks to keep things in order for a while

So I sympathise with the workers.

But it must be done.

why can't they be paid, though?

the sucky part was that the democrats did block a vote for giving the workers a pay check as the lockdown had gone for such a long time

you don't stop tax collecting for shutdown period, do you?

Yeah, well I used to work for the (well, not american) government and comparing their work to the free market is like comparing a snail to a ferrari - 90% of people who work for the government spend most of their day just drinking coffee. It sucks for the workers, but then again, they chose to work for the government.

nope as that is seen as an essential operation

Congress must approve the bill

I mean sure it sucks for them not getting paid

but that's little different from the free market sometimes you're not getting paid there either

you've got some efficiency issues, obviously, but then again most public sectors do around the world

Usually not because a group of elected officials decide to forget how to be adults

the entire shutdown "mechanic" seems childish in itself

It isnt a mechanic

It is a byproduct

we can't get what we want? Tough shit, nobody does! REEE

that's why I put it in quotation marks

To be fair, if you cannot agree on the budget, this is what will always happen.

why are you still awake mal?

isn't it like 1am for you?

if that happened here, an election would be called

it that this time both sides refuses to budge

2:23

yeah welll in the US, we don't have snap elections
