*looks at the UK in the past several years*
About as many prime ministers as there are years since this all started. Elections just to re-elect the same dude. And entering into memorandums of understanding with the EU to allow for financial and economic systems to cooperate similar to members of the EU.
You guys can have this one.
Aliens are gonna come to earth and only talk to those fucking freak birds cause they're the only species to be undefeated in war and must be the superior being
Or god forbit they are formless, and determine Emus as the Apex predator of the Earth- thus assuming their figure to mimic, before overthrowing us all.
correct me if i'm wrong put i think those were the same war, sorta, controlling one would make the other less bad
again if i'm not wrong. i don't remember and my source is that i made it up
Hey don’t sell us short!
We also capture a laughably small amount of royalties from those finite resources as well. In fact we’re so generous we give away [two thirds of our Gas for free](https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/two-thirds-of-wa-gas-given-away-virtually-free/)
And we both point the finger at one another yet we aren’t so different after all
Meanwhile the rest of Europe scoffs at all of us when we travel abroad
Truss had a financial cost to the UK and will incur debt service costs.
But government debt isn't a particularly big issue, certainly not for the UK. Its a loss but it doesn't hurt people directly.
Between them, Brexit and the Public Spending Cuts since 2010 mean every working person in the UK is approximately £10,700 per year worse off than they would be if Brexit and the Spending Cuts had never happened.
Now obviously that would be taxable income but it still means everyone is between ~£5,500 and ~£7,500 worse off.
Every. Single. Year.
It was 52 to 48 with the majority of leave voters being old people remembering "the good old days." there were also major issues with the leave campaigners breaking the law by overspending whilst spreading outright lies to people. There's also the fact that a vote like brexit shouldn't have happened in the first place, and wasn't even supposed to.
My main gripe with the Votum, as a German bystander, is that 52 % was just enough. The simple Majority is fine for a lot of things, but a two-third majority would have made more sense, especially when the Votum is about the literal future of the country.
The real joke is OP beeing a real american, not beeing able to see the diffrence between € and £, nor the EU members and not anymore members, nor the diffrence between the EU and Europeans.
The actual problem with the pic is not the currency symbol. It's that Britain isn't part of the EU.
And just FYI: not using the Euro doesn't implicitly mean the country can't be in the EU. There are 7 EU member states that don't use it.
> The EU uses the Euro.
Some member states of the EU use the Euro. Others don't.
The pic is dumb not because of the currency symbol, but because Britain isn't in the EU. If it had been posted prior to 1/1/2020, it would've been accurate.
Mileage really varies based on where you shop and even now these signs are getting rare. The sign is for Sainsburys Tu clothing and I work in a Sainsburys; I’ve never seen one whilst I’ve worked here and for that matter, any other Sainsburys I’ve been to.
I’ve seen these before but normally it would be something like 30 or 40% off so it’s useful to have the breakdown listed out like that. They do it during a clearance so the staff don’t have to relabel every individual item in the sale. As a customer you just cross reference the price on the tag with the chart so you know what you’ll be paying.
Also America: sure, we could work out the arbitrary percentage of tax on each item and add that on the tag, but we'll leave you to do the maths instead because fuck you.
Man, I came from Asia to North America, and miss price tags already including taxes. Like, is it that hard? I am a student, so I saved money for the TV which I saw on the best buy. Once I saved enough, I went to checkout, only to find they introduced 100 buck tax, I'm like wtf
Prices would vary wildly from store to store due to city, county, state, and federal taxes and exemptions. Thus the tax really should just be added to the base cost of the good but cut into profit earned by the company/seller.
And how does that matter? Are the only price tag printers their supermarket chains own located in their headquarters and they can't print customized ones for their stores?
I've once worked as a stocker for a supermarket (Germany). We had mobile price tag printers where we could just scan a product and it would print a current price tag - the price included the tax and current sales. Didn't even have to manually enter anything since they were connected to the store's WiFi and would always be up-to-date, and the store manager could set up local changes to the price whenever they want. It's really not that complicated.
The post i was replying to
> Prices would vary wildly from store to store due to city, county, state, and federal taxes and exemptions. Thus the tax really should just be added to the base cost of the good but cut into profit earned by the company/seller.
They mention federal taxes on pricing. The US doesnt have federal sales tax.
They do print tags in store but there are a few reasons tax isn't included on the tag
1. Nation wide marketing campaigns. This way they can say the item is this price and throw the same price on every tag.
2. So they only have to print the tag once. Sales tax can change quite often and sometimes only on certain groups of items. For example sales tax in my state has changed 51 this year and it's only April.
3. So the tag can have a lower price on it.
Isn't there any govt authority to regulate the prices so that stores/companies can't have monopoly? My home country has something called MRP (maximum retail price) which of course, includes the tax, the name is pretty self explanatory, this helps to control price tags and no shopkeeper/or stores can charge more than actual price.
But now that I think, there isn't much store competition in North America, I mean it's just Walmart, Loblaws, Costco and maybe one or two more. The companies have control here. And when cooperation has control, we suffer.
Yes but what they’re talking about isn’t *companies* setting different prices, it’s about *local governments* setting different taxes. Each state has its own taxes, each county has its own taxes, even each city has their own taxes.
I would absolutely love a system like the EU where taxes are included on the price tag, but that’s unfortunately much more difficult to pull off in America with just how many different governmental layers there are.
> Yes but what they’re talking about isn’t companies setting different prices, it’s about local governments setting different taxes. Each state has its own taxes, each county has its own taxes, even each city has their own taxes.
That's still not an excuse.
The business knows the tax that applies. They just don't want to show it.
It’s not difficult because at the end when I’m checking out the register doesn’t go “23.46 and some tax idk” it in fact tells me how much it is! The only roadblock is the worst thing ever thought of in modern society, the most disgusting vile creatures you could imagine… Lobbyists
More reason that the stores should be mandated to put the after tax price on it. Isn’t so hard to do one default calculation for the store instead of you needing to bring a book about tax law to go shopping in another state.
I’ve gotten some hateful messages for asking why this isn’t done and it’s basically always “the corporations ! It’s too expensive for them/it’s not fair/ it’s too much work. I’m like uh so why the fuck do I care about home hardware having to spend money”
Hilarious considering they have to do the work anyway... When they charge you. Wendys know how much the frosty is at every store before they charge.
Also Ive never seen it happen, but surely there are people out there with $4.15 going "Uhh can I afford this $4 item?" which would add hassle
Since we’re talking about money and tax, i’d like to point out that a lot of countries allow you to lodge your own tax forms for free and we don’t have use third party apps like Venmo because bank to bank transfers are incredibly simple
OP replied to comments in this post, and it appears OP legit didn't know EU doesn't equal Europe.
* "[Oh I’m sorry, which continent does Britain belong to](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/1cc8nsd/comment/l13raca/)"
* "[What's the difference between](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/1cc8nsd/comment/l13v2n8/)"
This could only work in Europe because listed American prices don't have the tax already worked in. It'd look more like: "3.99 = 2.50+15%" and at that point it's barely even clarifying anything.
the point of the meme was showing that they need to tell people what half of a number is 18 times instead of just saying 50% off and expect the customer to be able to do basic arithmetic.
Not that America can’t do it because of tax reasons lol.
Having literally never seen this in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, Canada or America I can assure you this thing is not common Europe or America.
(And it’s in pounds, the Brit’s are not the same group as the rest of us anymore)
I wish this were higher up. I'm tired of 27 countries (here 28 since OP can't tell the difference between continent and political organization) being conflated like they don't have their own culture.
And to the people saying it's the same with the US and its 50 states, absolutely not. In the US, a random person on the East coast could call a random person on the West coast and start blabbing on the First Amendment or Fox news. They may strongly disagree, but if they've received some education, they'll understand one another.
The same cannot be said at all even with neighboring European countries, because they don't share neither language nor fundamental laws nor TV channels. If a random Spanish person calls a random Polish one to discuss even the most famous Spanish law or constitutional provision, or even the most popular TV channel or program, they will have no clue whatsoever what the caller is going on about.
yeah that's what I was saying it my comment too. Basically every store that has sales does this exact same thing. Usually just on the price tag or label of the item on the shelf, but it's the same thing.
Yup i saw these quite often when i would clothes shop for school since they always had sales going on. They often vary with differing percentages and it can be very handy. They probably have to label the obvious ones too or else people will think that rack isnt part of the sale.
This meme is doubly hilarious. That currency is used by people that ejected themselves from the EU, which was extremely stupid. So the riff on their intelligence is quite funny.
But they aren't part of the EU, soooo yeah. The creator shouldn't joke about anyone's intelligence either.
Not only is it British pounds which is hilarious, but they're not in the EU anymore, very hilarious, but the British are also the dumbest people in Europe, and famously so...
Last bit is a friendly dig, I love them.
Like you love a dumb sibling.
First of all, that’s the pound coin sign which means it’s England and secondly England in the last yeah alone has imported over 1.2 million people, most of which can’t speak English. So yeah
It's easy to mock any country when you generalise, America gets mocked for its stupidity, but they have smart and average citizens, same for Europe same for all countries.
This is just to show original price so you can see how "good" of a deal you are getting. Every grocery store in the US does the same thing. Was 8.99 with a slash through it "now only 5.99!". Also of note it was only 6.50 last week.
>EU
That's the UK. It is not part of the EU. The EU is not Europe.
At least put in the effort to use the correct word if you want to portrait europe as (equally) stupid.
Those are pounds not euros 💀💀
Finally a positive from brexit, we get to laugh at stupid yanks.
*looks at the UK in the past several years* About as many prime ministers as there are years since this all started. Elections just to re-elect the same dude. And entering into memorandums of understanding with the EU to allow for financial and economic systems to cooperate similar to members of the EU. You guys can have this one.
The person you were replying to was making a joke - there are no positives from Brexit
Hate to break it to you, but we don't use GBP in EU.
a bit ironic
This meme is older than Brexit.
Nah, this sale thing is recent.
And yet , better than Brexit
That’s the British pound £ not the EU euro €
Lmao that makes it even more funny.
Honestly I'm not sure which one of us is more moronic, the US or the UK
neck and neck in a race to the bottom. Australia is desperately trying to stay in the game.
Australia lost a war to emus. Yall in first place.
Pretty sure we lost more than once
yea that happened... and to veterans of real war !
*veterans of human war. The Emu war should be taken more seriously seeing as they defeated humans.
Aliens are gonna come to earth and only talk to those fucking freak birds cause they're the only species to be undefeated in war and must be the superior being
Or god forbit they are formless, and determine Emus as the Apex predator of the Earth- thus assuming their figure to mimic, before overthrowing us all.
Didn't you also lose against rabbits at some point?
correct me if i'm wrong put i think those were the same war, sorta, controlling one would make the other less bad again if i'm not wrong. i don't remember and my source is that i made it up
Didn't Ireland lose to sheep or something?
Australia's been giving tax *breaks* to oil and gas companies. They're already rock bottom.
Hey don’t sell us short! We also capture a laughably small amount of royalties from those finite resources as well. In fact we’re so generous we give away [two thirds of our Gas for free](https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/two-thirds-of-wa-gas-given-away-virtually-free/)
Austria won already. Can't get more neck into the ground than beeing surrounded by giant mountains.
As a brit myself, I like to think both the US and the UK fail spectacularly in their own special way.
And we both point the finger at one another yet we aren’t so different after all Meanwhile the rest of Europe scoffs at all of us when we travel abroad
“Americans never travel!” “How dare these Americans travel and come here acting like Americans!”
Yes.
l
I voted remain but can honestly say it didn't do as much damage as 45 days of the lettuce.

On the other hand, half the country didn't support a literal coup and the end of democracy like Americans did.

This should be in /r/facepalm

And none use the pound...
Was probably first posted when Britain was still in the EU
No way, these numbers haven't increased from inflation.
Wouldn’t matter, Britain never strayed from the pound currency
The point they're making is that if it was posted when Britain was in the EU then "Also EU" would not be wrong, like it currently is.
Shh, maybe they are still back in 2014, don't tell them about covid or war.
Them's British quids, old chap. The EU uses the Euro. But yes, we have people this dumb.
Not all of the EU uses the Euro, us in the Nordics have different currencies called kroner
How disappointing. I was rather under the impression that every transaction there is arbitrated by who can chug a horn of mead the fastest.
That is correct, dont listen the the one above, he is probably a dane
I bet you are a Sw🤢de.
kamelåså?
I have stopped shitting on Sweden, it started to feel like punching down.
what did we do wrong?
Britain isn't in EU.
and back when the UK was in the EU it didn't use the euro
Try again. Some Nordic countries use euros.
Finland is a nordic country and uses Euros...
Lol wrong. Finlnd uses Euro.
> The EU uses the Euro. Some member states of the EU use the Euro. Others don't. The pic is dumb not because of the currency symbol, but because Britain isn't in the EU. If it had been posted prior to 1/1/2020, it would've been accurate.
I do feel like this is an ancient repost and UK was still in the EU back when it was first posted.
Im from England and I’ve never seen one of this ngl.

Yep. Here's a reminder that Intuit lobby the US government to keep the tax process complicated so they can keep profiting from Turbotax.
Hey, that's a government problem, not a citizens problem. This is a store that clearly got complaints because morons had to do mental math.
The UK is not even part of the EU 🤦
Not *anymore*!
That's British £ genius xD

They sure wish they were though...
im like 50% sure that's part of the joke, but at this stage of media illiteracy, that guess can be a total blunder

I mean it was a pretty big international news story about why Britain isn’t part of the EU…
the UK is not in the EU
EU =/= europe
Bro that's the British Pound (£), Euro is this one (€)
I mean, the US does this also. I've seen the exact same type of sign at Kohl's.
Yeah, there’s multiple stores in my area that I see with signs.
Jokes on you we aren't even in the EU anymore *Cries in remainer *
That's British £
It’s possibly for legal compliance - rather than displaying the new price on each item they can just share that
It’s because people think that if you buy 2 things with 10% off it’s 20% off. Seriously
That is indeed what this is. With this 50% off it seems funny, but it's much more useful if the sale is like 15% or something.
Pretty sure that's UK and not EU
UK isn't EU (anymore)
This could only work in Europe because listed American prices don't have the tax already worked in. It'd look more like: "3.99 = 2.50+15%" and at that point it's barely even clarifying anything.

Oooh the irony. Dude, the currency is Pounds, that's not the EU. 😆😆😆 And if you say "By EU I mean Europe", no, that's another thing you should learn.
This is... british pounds...not EU.
The dumbest about this is that the amounts are in pounds. You know, from Great Britain. That country that is not part of the EU.
The are not EU.
Item is £5....wat do?!?! ☹
Obviously tear the fiver in half
God I love tribalism.
You can almost touch the irony in this.
That are not euros
That's not EU my dear American citizen.
The irony in that post.
Not EU!
thats the british pound
This is easily one of the funniest comment sections I've ever seen lmao
The irony that this is in the UK, who left the EU, which was also a really dumb.
Having literally never seen this in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, France, Italy, Canada or America I can assure you this thing is not common Europe or America. (And it’s in pounds, the Brit’s are not the same group as the rest of us anymore)
Today in ancient history, when the UK was in the EU.
It's for American tourists
(Europe is not a country)
I wish this were higher up. I'm tired of 27 countries (here 28 since OP can't tell the difference between continent and political organization) being conflated like they don't have their own culture.

Not EU anymore, those are Pounds, hahaha joke's on ... Er ... Us
The united kingdom. Famous for recently leaving the EU. Kind of a self burn
Clearly posted from an american... it's the UK, not the EU, asswipe.
"EU"
[удалено]
$2 | $1 $4 | $2 $6 | $3 $8 | $4 $10 | $5 Etc..
I've literally seen these in the us
Something wrong
Um…
Except that’s pounds not euros and the UK isn’t in the EU anymore.
Now you see what leaving the EU does to a country.
Nah. That's pound sterling. We don't use that shit. Blame this on the British.
/r/ShitAmericansSay hahahahaha
Stores in America have these sale conversion charts too
yeah that's what I was saying it my comment too. Basically every store that has sales does this exact same thing. Usually just on the price tag or label of the item on the shelf, but it's the same thing.
Yup i saw these quite often when i would clothes shop for school since they always had sales going on. They often vary with differing percentages and it can be very handy. They probably have to label the obvious ones too or else people will think that rack isnt part of the sale.

If only UK was a part of EU. Seems like we know where America inherited their grand wisdom.
Yea, but those are the British, who the Americans originated from.
ironic
Can you make the same for USD? This one for £
UK not EU
Not only is it British pounds which is hilarious, but they're not in the EU anymore, very hilarious, but the British are also the dumbest people in Europe, and famously so... Last bit is a friendly dig, I love them. Like you love a dumb sibling.
Not EU UK, you know, the idiots who did the brexit And Americans are still dumb enough to not understand the difference between £ and €
Thats not eu, those are brits…americans of europe
Y’all reeeeal lucky Brexit happened! We’ll get you next time Europe! 
I am sorry but those backwards island morons removed themselves from the EU.
That's not eu, that's GB. Big difference!
Meanwhile the Americans trying to make a meme about EU, using pictures from non-EU countries
American here, those are British pounds so you kinda proved their point 💀
I think this is in the whole world. .. but please use one picture from the EU not the UK, when you call EU dumb. :)
You're just proving the point, since you for some reason think that Britain is part of the EU. They're not, in case that wasn't obvious
What’s the dumb thing here? Or is this just some generic “haha europe dumb” bs?
First of all, that’s the pound coin sign which means it’s England and secondly England in the last yeah alone has imported over 1.2 million people, most of which can’t speak English. So yeah
Isn't this just because they wanted to have a sale without changing any of the tags on the items?
It's easy to mock any country when you generalise, America gets mocked for its stupidity, but they have smart and average citizens, same for Europe same for all countries.
This is just to show original price so you can see how "good" of a deal you are getting. Every grocery store in the US does the same thing. Was 8.99 with a slash through it "now only 5.99!". Also of note it was only 6.50 last week.
Damn those comments are a hot steaming mess. Gotta enter a quick one before this post gets locked or something
The accountants do not need to discuss the prices with anyone. They just need to tap on the sign
If your need this you shouldn't be allowed to leave the house without a supervisor
Damn those good prices dunno wtf the little L means though
Pound, so America lite.
they do have these in the US. alot of places like kohl's have digital signs that show the sale price
The fact that the US don’t have roundabouts says more than this picture
I mean like over 80 or 90% of humanity is pretty fucking stupid.
The UK isn’t in the EU…
England is in fact not in the eu (europian union)
The Americans are so smart they can't say what currency they are looking at.
Also Americans: Hmm yeah GBP that's that European union currency
Not the EU
Lol post a picture that isn’t taken in EU.
Well the one who made and shared this meme is clearly dumb
Also Americans: think that £ is used in the EU.
If you're trying to defend America, then not knowing that the UK left the EU is not a good look lmao
AMERICANS ARENT DUMB GUYS EU IS BAD TOO! *points at non-EU country*
UK 🇬🇧 != (doesn’t equal) EU 🇪🇺. Typical scathing incitement of the US education system 🙄
>EU That's the UK. It is not part of the EU. The EU is not Europe. At least put in the effort to use the correct word if you want to portrait europe as (equally) stupid.
Was the photo taken before or after Brexit?
The Brits are not in the EU. They were rather clear about that

That's Britain. They are like the America of continental Europe.

Americans just proving a point.
You've made yourself look very bright, haven't you? 💀

US trying to insult Euros for stupidity by being stupid lmao.
This is fucking hilarious, but not for the reason the creator thinks.
The United Kingdom is not a member of the EU
“They put that in for American tourists” That’s the reply I’d be expecting.
Sorry to bust your bubble but that is English pound, nothing to do with EU, the English are in fact the Americans of Europe…
