My favorite is how they are banning cars in London, which is not even in the EU.  This is one powerful group.  Maybe they will get a UN resolution for a no-drive zone.

Did the UK leave the EU since the last time I looked?

Just because they elected to stay with the pound instead of the euro doesn't mean they aren't members!

The fact that they are members will make things a lot less expensive for my son if he decides to go to graduate school in England, once I get around to obtaining dual German citizenship for both for us.

If the middle east blows itself up, or we run out of oil, or the price of oil continues to skyrocket, it might happen.  With increased connectivity, there is less reason than ever for long commutes.  Americans are in love with cars, not necessarily the rest of the world. 

Nontheless, I am skeptical also.

Let's see. What was going to happen in 40 years back in 1971?

We were going to swear off foreign wars.

There would be a Moon base.

The work week would be 32 hours.

Advancing technology would make medical care cheaper.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By 2050:

The Federal Budget will finally be balanced.

The National Debt paid by collecting spare change from schoolchildren.

 I personally will have conquered Mars and invented antigravity.
