Anyone keeping half an eye on stock and share prices today ?

@Picklebobble2 it's not just here it's across the globe. Check out yannis varoufakis on how the eu dealt with greece. It was a big factor as to why I started looking at what the eu does economically and part of the reason I voted to leave

@gol979 Greece. Ireland. UK about to leave....whose next ? Italy ? some of the smaller nations ?

@Picklebobble2 Italy just had their budget rejected by the eu......there's a big anti eu sentiment growing and they are doing themselves no favours.....in fact I don't think they can. It's just a huge cog in the neoliberal (and this economic theory seems to be aligning with the right) machine.
Look what happened with Brazil when bolsanaro, a massive right wing authoritarian, was elected. The markets jumped up because they know that he will open up Brazil's market to foreign investors, smash workers right, deregulated. This in political speak is, a stable market, suitable for business

@cultofaction Or smuggling and black market trading will be the next big thing !

@Picklebobble2 It also just pushes production overseas. What a waste

@cultofaction Emerging Asian markets where the cost of living and production are far cheaper.
And the end of manufacturing jobs in the west.
