    It's fine though. Trump will make an exception for Brexit Britain and sign a tremendous and great trade deal that bigly makes Britain great again .

    This is certainly hotting up, rest of the world can sit back and watch the US shoot itself in the foot as US international companies move their manufacturing facilities out of the US.

    Well, it will make a change from it shooting its kids in school. #Thoughts&Prayers

    One of the reasons I recently invested in Ford, they have a few cool cars. They seem to me on the verge of a bit of a turnaround.

    Just like their fighter jets. Guess what though, the UK has agreed to spend billions to buy this crap:

    You've not heard of Newton's law of Universal Gravitation? The moon and MF are probably getting closer together.

    They have different ideas on what makes a good car. They don't have the same small, bendy roads that we have. And their fuel costs are still lower than ours. So larger, more comfortable cars that don't handle particularly well are fine over there.

    The f-35 has had issues but also many people like it and prefer it's stealthy approach. It's good that it can also take off from our carriers.

    America has issues but I don't think you can just come out with big statements like general malaise without backing it up.

    How is your bottom-feeder contracting career progressing? Stayed at any lovely B&B's recently?
    Mind you there might come a time, post brexit, when you might look at your itinerant-gyppo jobbing journeyman past with nostalgia.
