    Perhaps then Canada joins in? Where does that leave Mexico with what is left of NAFTA?

    Perhaps building the wall to gain access to US markets for what they still make down there?

    First off, somebody had to tell me Britain was still around. Wigs, cannonballs--the whole thing. I thought we were talking about ancient history, here. I mean, didn't we beat Britain in the Civil War? Makes no sense.

    So anyway I talked to this woman, nasty woman, not even a queen. Can you believe it? I mean, give me a princess at least. As long as we're still in pretend land.

    She told me Americans want to buy British cars. Really? American's want little MG's that look like they need to be wound up? Not this cowboy. My car needs to be something, y'know, meaty. Something that wouldn't lose speed after running over a couple of Standing Rock protesters. Lots of metal.

    If Britain really is still a country, and I'm suspicious, I mean really suspicious, they should just take what we give them and be happy. Here, have some Starbucks. Have some, y'know, Lululemon. Whatever. We have it all. Have Spencer's. Have SkyMall. I don't get it. They are so behind. What are they going to give us? What? Actors that can talk American? We have those already. We got an American Batman now. I think Garfield is American Superman? I'm not sure.

    I said they could have Obamacare but she said they already have it. So then I said they can't have it anymore and she said they're working on that. This really is too much.

    A cape and a gold crown. That'd get things going. Send those over.

    Right, George is relevant and I am sure you can expand.

    Hijacking is an odd way to seek privacy.

    I posted it so everyone else would respect his privacy and not post it.

    Not true, although I must admit, it's been awhile since I hired anyone from the UK. But your point is valid, we are much closer to equals in that sense and much less likely for companies to move to gain the advantage.
