I'm kind of at a loss here. I don't want to be condescending but...do you understand what the EU actually is? Do you really think my correction on your US/Mexico analogy was just to swap Mexico for Canada? Are you serious? You really don't get the difference, huh?

Who are you, Adam Smith? I love when teenagers tell me that regulations on the market "harm the economy." Regulations exist to protect consumers, from their financial interests to their health.

And now you're just towing a party line. What do you mean there's "nothing wrong" with it? I'm saying that it's quite telling when xenophobic initiatives like this are supported largely by the demographic/geographic groups that tend to support xenophobic bs. But even at that, you look around the UK and see something like the votes in Scotland...that doesn't give you pause? I mean, Jesus, dude.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Uh, so what? Being regarded as racist is a national embarrassment and will ultimately have economic consequences, never mind the adversity it puts on non-white people around Europe.

I can't tell if you're extremely naive or if you think I'm extremely naive, but either way I suggest you snap out of it.

A true scholar of global economics.

I mean this sincerely: You are being duped.

Again, this is not really accurate.

To go back to economic theory: This is always, without exception, in every society in human history, the temporary effect before the market adjusts to an increased labor force.

I think you need to reevaluate how much you believe what the nationalist politicians are peddling to you.

The campaign slogan of every racist right-wing party lol

That's...not how open borders work. An "open border" doesn't mean it's impossible to gather demographic data.

Your housing and public service systems will only be as strained as national laws allow them to be. bs that it "drives down wages," show me the numbers on that. Immigrants are also paying taxes and bringing in professional expertise.

I am numb with shock. I am worried about the future of this country, not only for myself but for my children and their children.

Coming from an underprivileged area that benefits greatly for EU funding, I am worried about the local communities. I am in awe that Wales voted leave.

United Ireland and independent Scotland next

Both of you stop talking about sharia law now. It's irrelevant to this discussion.

I don't think so, Poland was traditionally hostile to Russia which is why the USSR decided to not allow free elections.

It won't make it hard per se - but it would mean filling out Visa applications for most travel outside of the country. Similar to when we travel to non-EU countries now. More of an inconvenience than a hardship.

I'm pretty much with you both on this.

I've spoken with people from all different walks of like regarding this, and the general opinion is that we are not being given enough information at face value on the pros and cons of staying or leaving.

At the moment, I'm swaying with the "better the Devil you know" attitude and thinking of staying in.

You have to apply for a visa to work abroad.

Its just stupid, They're saying that it will improve the country when in reality its just stupid
