In a new trend that's sweeping the world, countries are "Brexiting" at an alarming rate. This week alone, "Byegium," "Czech-out," "Latervia" and "Italeave" have declared their independence from the European Nation.
Sundar Pichai, God of Google, said that within 0.975 seconds after leaving voting centers, millions of citizens from these countries whipped out their phones and frantically googled, "what is the EU?" He mentioned that it seems to be a tradition, as per Brexit - vote first, research later.
So what does this all mean for the economy?
Nothing good, says the International Monetary Fund, a group of smart people who know a lot more about things than I do. They predict much uncertainty in the future of Britain's economy, and the continuation of the value decrease of the pound. Which is unfortunate, because the pound is very pretty and colorful and deserves to be valued.
The fate of the other countries who are Brexiting is yet to be determined.
David Cameron, former Prime Minister of the UK, has decided to hastily abandon ship from the now-tanking country. He's decided to move to his vacation home on Easter Island. Cameron was photographed this past Wednesday peeling away to the airport in a sweet-looking t-bird, yelling, "Bye, losers!" from the car window.
When asked what they're going to do with their now-failing economy, British citizens tended to cough nervously, tug on their shirt collars and offer me some tea and biscuits, but neglected to offer a straight answer.
The former King of Canada and Minister of Moose, Stephen Harper, couldn't help but scoff when he found out about the Brexit campaign. He thought it was funny how a country historically focused on consuming every other country is now, in fact, leaving a conglomeration of countries.
Right on, Stephen.
This wave of Brexiting very closely precedes the 4th of July. On which date, four score and 240 years ago, the United States of America declared their independence from Britain.
Hm.
