Just like you do. You and the other chap NEVER respond. Sle or Sig thinks the GDP of Canada is the same as the UK lol.
@Visaria thinks that Germania contributed more to the EU's GDP than the UK. See how I did that, made something up that you never actually posted, is only tenuously connected to something you posted, and we both clearly agree is incorrect? If you actually took the time to read anything posted by others instead of forming the conclusion that they are wrong before reading anything they wrote, you might both learn something and come off as less of a jackass.
Why don't you copy the whole post since in the context of what I said a 60% difference isn't relevant. Again, read the whole post, make an honest attempt to understand the other person's post, then reply. That's the only way you could hope to learn anything, even if all you're learning is why the other person thinks the way they do, even if that thought process is flawed. Otherwise why are you wasting your time here, what's your point? You sure as heck aren't influencing anything.
Firstly I apologise for calling u a jackass...I don't want to be seen to stoop to your levels. I've read the whole post...the entire argument lies on the UK and Canada having similar levels of GDP which is as i pointed out wholly incorrect.
Today's numbers.... German industrial production falls by 0.4% v expected +0.7% Spanish industrial production falls a whopping 6.3% v -2.3% Italian retail sales down 0.4%. Greek unemployment 18.5%. EU is doomed. We are leaving a sinking ship.
That actually wasn't my point at all. My point was that the UK and Canada are both very small compared to their next door neighbors the E.U. and the U.S. and that in either case a threat from them to "play hardball" with their immensely bigger neighbor is going to be laughed at. You actually reinforce my point with the "no, the UK's GDP is $2.67 trillion and Canada's is only $1.65". That's the joke, the absolute GDP amounts of these tiny neighbors are so comparatively small that only they could take seriously a difference in GDP of that magnitude, and what's more the percentage of the UK's trade with the EU vice the EU's trade with the UK is all that actually matters. Sorry, I know that's harsh and it clearly means a lot to you, and perhaps it should mean more to us, but it just doesn't. Therefore it's completely irrelevant to the point that tiny neighbors don't "play hardball" with the significantly bigger entity that is also responsible for most of their trade and not the other way around. The UK is that toy poodle that always barks frantically at my 90 lb dog who thankfully normally just ignores it, but one day might just bite it in half before he even realizes what he's done. I'm sure the poodle is saying "I don't weigh 1.65 lbs, I weigh 2.67 lbs. You must do what I want, I'm playing hardball!" in dog language.
Industrial production: you only mention 2 countries out of the 28, that's less then 8%. A very professional analysis! Congratulation! Retail sales: you only mention 1 country out of the 28, that's less then 4%. A very professional analysis! Congratulation! Unemployment: you only mention 1 country out of the 28, that's less then 4%. A very professional analysis! Congratulation! http://statisticstimes.com/economy/countries-by-projected-gdp-capita.php The GDP per capita in Germany is more than 15% higher then that from the UK. What you did is like comparing your income with that from Bezos and telling that your salary went up 10% (a few thousand £) while Bezos salary did go down 1% (a few million $). But Bezos still makes thousand times more money then you. Following your logic he is almost broke. ROFLMAO.
