reminds me of my local supermarket. they have a deli counter with various sausages etc. so one day i went in and noticed that the sausages had all been put in different locations. i asked the guy behind the counter what gives? he said it was a corporate decision to move the sausages around. um ok. they had nothing to do, so they did something.

It is one of the things that starts Brexit. They are very intrusive and
controlling. You cannot even post memes without checking copyright
infringement.

Don't try, Ed. You're really out of your depth with this topic.

My guess is that plant based foods will pretty much replace meat products in a few decades. Meat products will be shunned and reviled, much like tobacco product are today.

I think so too. It's barbaric when you think about it: killing an
animal and eating it. And not particularly healthy either. And bad for
the environment.

That's the price you pay for a federal government. Are you in favour
of a Flexit?

I'd rather see a well run government with minimal regulation. Barring
that, Flexit would not be bad. Florida is better run than when I lived
in CT.

Besides, CTexit is hard to say. Texit and Flexit sound good. Hexit
too. Hawaii as an independent kingdom under King Kamua Mua.

Some things are good about the EU. One currency's great when you have
2 neighbours within a 2 hours drive. No barriers for internal trade is
great. The trade block's also good. The EU is a serious trading
partner for the US and China.

What's bad is the unnecessary regulation, the bureaucracy and the
wasting of money.

To me, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Not being a citizen (or subject?) of the EU my opinion does not matter.
The good parts you mention are good, but is seems they have run out of
good things and continue to tinker and want more control. Lets justify
our existence by controlling everyone's life.

Nobody really wants that. Those politicians have to be reigned in. The
Netherlands was always against EU overregulation, as was the UK. In
that sense, the Netherlands is losing an ally.

I'm waiting for Popeye to weigh in on this issue. Will brexit affect the
availability of nun prostitutes in italy? Will the EU ban strong US
sailors from the pope's parlour?

I've always felt that Flanders should stand alone.

[ObFood] Trader Joe's orange chicken sizzled in a saucepan by me over
long grain white rice cooked by me in a rice cooker and Chung's pork
egg rolls heated in a oven that was started by me. The sauces were
thawed by me as well. Lotta work!

Are you in favour of a Nevada Nexit, so you can get rid of those latte
sipping, tree hugging socialists in Washington?

No Bruce. I'm all in favor of everyone in Washington that doesn't have
the belief in our Constitution over themselves, in the decisions they
make, to be shuffled off to prison. Damned few would be left standing.
Work for all the people, not just for yourselves and the glob you're
beholden to. Globs exclusively mean all unions, corporations and
foreign interests.
It's simple really. Anyone beholden to any of those three is corrupt
and not working for the American people. They should be out on the
street or in prison for treason.
Someone said that people get the government they deserve. It's true.

I agree (although without unions, corporations would be treating their
workers like slaves), but I don't understand how those views lead to
supporting Trump. Anyway, that's your business.

Yes, especially in a democracy.
