      Thank goodness.

      This would have been a terrible moment in history to mess something like this up right before the finish line.

      How about France and Poland? Do you think now they will want even more to exit EU?

      GOOD! Holy shit it would have been terrible if we allowed a bunch of people on tractors to topple this a meter before the finish line!

      Finally, now we can eat lower quality foods so that Germany can save it’s automobile industry.

      Thank God for that

      Why is this being celebrated on reddit? I feel like I am missing something.

      Honestly, my only sense about this is: anyone who claims to know exatly what will happen is just spewing BS. This deal might be 25 years old, but the context we find ourselfs in is very novel and very diffrent from even 10 years ago.

      Free trade seems to legitimately be one of the most complicated issues in modern politics. Affecting, positively or negatively diffrent groups of people in diffrent countries. There will be winners and losers. It will strengten the continent in some way and weaken it in others.

      It falls to the gouverments of the EU and Sounth America to gently reigh in the winners and compensate the losers. They also need to provide backups plans for the eventual distruption of trade or the fall of strategic industries. And bring some kind of ballance between the countries who win more and the ones that lose.

      But overall, the diplomatic value of this deal seems to be worth it. Some people can argue however much they want that sacrificing national industries for the sake of the EU was not worth it. But the EU is invaluable in just keeping us all a bit safer. So if this trade deal can also keep us a bit more clumped together, then the work for countering it’s problems might be worth it.

      Defence – dependent

      Energy – dependent

      Industry – outsourced

      Media – dominated by foreign unreliable power

      Food – only self sufficient sector remaining, and now that’s on its way out too.

      Hard to be optimistic about anything nowadays. Ottoman Empire used to be called the sick man of Europe, now Europe itself is the sick man.

      In the distance I can hear the French farmers making their way to the 7th arrondissement.

      Endless talk about Britain and chlorinated chicken on this sub and yet people are cheering EU countries importing hormone laced Brazilian beef?

      For the near future, I see a lot of angry farmers in their too big and highly subsidized tractors in the capitals, wasting a lot of highly subsidized diesel.

      Is it done or does it have to go through the parliament?

      Finally. Breaking the deadlock of Mercosur is the single most tangible low hanging fruit boost to the EU economy in years. It’s time we stopped shooting ourselves in the foot all the time and started focusing on growth and making new allies.
