Personaly I don't want the UK back in the EU. We had to many problems with the UK. Always cherry picking EU laws or block them when they were not in their personal interest. It was always the UK who was asking for excepctions and when something went wrong back in the UK, they ALWAYS blamed it on the EU. They had no scrupules to shit on the EU all the time. 65 months after BrexitI tought the UK would be super rich by now, since they saved about £350m/month to invest in the NHS? Working closer together... I'm fine with that. Back in the EU... no thank you very much.

Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Just be aware that there are many haters here too. A few days ago I posted a positive message about the EU and.... oh my God... what a wave of negativity and hate I get. It was just like we - in the EU - are now living under the authoritarian regime of the EU. My reaction was.... I'm out of here, so I'm not in that community anymore. I hoped that Lemmy was a more "positive" community, but that seems to be a naive world view. There will always be haters and they are everywhere.

A philosophical reflection (europe.pub)
 

A philosophical reflection: why are so many entrepreneurs obsessed with expansionism? Does it have to do with ego, with power, with greed and “always more”? What is wrong with the local market? Expansion at home, neighboring countries or - by extension - Europe. Surely that should be enough? Just making good money that you yourself and your group of workers can live a good life. Should that really be so much more? Or am I naive and still believe in fairy tales? Buy from Europe. Maybe we finaly are starting to understand the power of local businesses.

I'm waiting for the haters to give negative comments about the title and article.

Microsoft will feel the wrat of Europe. Many people are switching to Linux. Even (local) governments with thousants of employees. This all together will have hudge implications in the next few years.

The power of the number. If you leave for another platform, there is a good chance you're all alone.
