Save us, EU. You're our only hope. Sincerely, USA

You are welcome to rejoin

Actually probably not. Not without major concessions. The pound will have to go which they will never accept unless they have absolutely no other choice

[–] crispy_kilt@feddit.de 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The concessions are the same as for any other EU member, which is fair

Why does the pound have to go?

Yeah I'm confused about this statement... There's several EU countries that don't use the Euro, like Poland and Czechia.

Some joined when the rules stated that you could choose. Some others are just waiting to meet conditions that will allow them to enter the Eurozone (like Croatia did last year)

Because countries that join nowadays have to adopt the Euro. Denmark, for example, joined when that was still allowed, so they still have their DK.

Apparently it's dependent on the signing of a certain agreement before a certain date, which the UK did sign, so it's actually debated on whether or not Brexit made that signature null or not.

The UK adopts various EU rules, a lot of stuff even sold in Northern Ireland has to abide by EU rules (so just say that Apple did make separate lightning and USB C phones, they'd have to use separate operations to sell specific ones in parts of the UK and not others, it probably would have been easier for them to just sell the European models)

Hey, y’all did a good job with the FAIR act. Keep working on it

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Canada, too. We're somehow even more feckless at anti-trust.

I'm still amazed that I'd never heard about Nortel until this year.

EU, we need your bunker-penetrating rockets. Sincerely, Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians.
