The smartest ones are making monster profit off the downside of the market.

Big deal… Those people can weather the storm easily. They never loose. That story is to make people like you and me feel better.

What is most interesting of this vote is the geographic breakdown.

England as a whole largely voted leave.

City of London overwhelmingly voted stay.

This gives credence to the theory of concentration of everything.

City States are concentrating wealth, power, opportunity, and population numbers/ voting power.

Creates an interesting dynamic for the future, no doubt.

Younger people overwhelmingly voted stay.

Old people overwhelmingly voted leave.

The best thing about this is if UK actually leaves the EU, they then have to negotiate trade deals with the EU which will have all of their export goods remain subject to EU laws and regulations, plus it's unlikely the EU will give them as good as deal as they have now..

And then there is the whole customs and immigration thing. Last time I flew in Europe (Ireland to UK) I got on the plane, I got off the plane. Will UK now impose customs control on all flights to / from Europe? Has anyone thought of the costs? It will cost money to staff the passport checks - UK will lose tourism dollars as it becomes more inconvenient to visit from Europe. Republic of Ireland will go great as anyone wanting an Anglo-heritage vacation will just go to Dublin.

I always tell someone who hasnt been to Europe go to England 1st so you won't be dissapointed when you go everywhere else

A silly vote if you ask me cuz Cameron had been voted in/had mandate so fuck em all just play it out and let the Brexit be part of the next political vote, instead now there are politicians resigning which is making things even more phucked.

He promised the "leave" Torys a vote after last election, they agitated and he had to play ball.
