What is everybody doing for the rest of the day?

Got the day off. Playing Mirror's Edge, watching Game of Thrones and reading a few books. Life goes on. May have a cold beverage to commiserate later.

 

[BKJest]

Yes and you all have convinced yourself that you are the smart ones and everyone else is stupid and a "bad" vote.. everyone thinks like that after they lost, sorry you are not different or smarter or a "better" voter.

Yes they are a better vote than one solely fuel by xenophobia.

Holy Crap.

Watch this

Brexit vote leaves UK on brink of recession, economists say

As everyone was warning about before. No surprises there.

Just some "bumps on the road" and talk by "experts" /s

This misinformation is annoying the fuck out of me; the original line was something along the lines of "we send £350m a week (or something) to the EU, why not use it to fund the NHS instead".

Now, nowhere in this statement does it say "we will use the £350m to fund the NHS", but it implies that some of that money could be. Now, no-one has said the money won't go to the NHS, just that the £350m figure won't.

I have no idea what any of this means?

Is there a good spot to read about it in this thread or elsewhere?

Is this like Texas actually seceding from the United states?

(not from the UK)

 

[HalterGratis]

Fuck David Cameron. He called this referendum purely for political pandering, jeopardising the economies of millions of people. He gambled, lost and now we'll have another fucking recession.

You're not wrong at all, although I find the Financial Times' "pound is lowest in 30 years" pretty interesting - surely that's not par for the course like you're suggesting?



just gutting

Yeah pretty much, most people just read that headline and think that OMG OMG OMG THE SKY IS FALLING! When in reality they are talking of the dip point, the market stabilize hours later and people still have in their heads that headline instead of what is actually happening in the markets. The same goes for the FTSE going down to LAST MONDAY LEVELS! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

Seriously, some of the shit I've seen in this thread from people. Eye-rolling shit.

Not surprising - BNPParibas had already said that would happen should Brexit occur.

But hey, we don't listen to experts! Who wants a successful economy!

Brexit vote leaves UK on brink of recession, economists say

We didn't recover from the last one because of EU taking £350 septilion every nanosecond. Now we're free we can recover from anything!

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Wow, clearly the next generation is full of wisdom judging by some posts on here. /s

Im a carer and girlfriend is disabled. I would have had the common fucking sense to vote for our stability along with every other disabled persons. Now we don't have any idea what may even happen for us, or anyone on any benefits. We have no idea how much this will affect funding. Please enlighten me how this will be in any way positive, since you're so clearly full of wisdom I expect an answer with some actual logic rather than "let's see how this plays out"

The amount of people I'm talking to in work who voted leave because "they didn't think they'd actually win" is breaking my heart.

I detest people who vote with this reasoning. Why even vote for that option in the first place if you actually didn't want it?! Idiots.

Live solely in VR to escape our new reality. Happy birthday by the way.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Look at those immigration and multiculturalism numbers.


But man the leave vote hated a lot of things, save for capitalism but that's to be expected I guess

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Brexit vote leaves UK on brink of recession, economists say

But at least it will be a proper British recession without all those pesky immigrants, doing nothing and stealing all the jobs

I get that. I mean a dip point parallel with 30 years ago doesn't sound great, but yeah markets don't just decline and then keep on declining. There's no gravity operating on them like that. It'll come back up

 

[Souldriver]

Oh my god.

Just fucking look at that. Social liberalism, feminism, the green movement, the fucking internet are all "forces for ill".

This is just scary.

Paribas is a French bank. Dunno about JP Morgan.

Doesn't Paris have more favorable tax laws? I said this earlier that banks will leave, they need entry to Europe.

 

[Plum]

I said earlier that it's the drunk driver mentality. They don't see anything happening, so why not? Except this time they weren't drunk, which makes it all the worse.

 

[PdotMichael]

Just get rid of the jobs and the immigrants will leave. That's some high level tri-dimensional chess.

There are still agreements that could benefit both sides.

Sure and they will be made. They won't be as much of a benefit for UK as the ones they had as part of EU though.g

 

[OnkelC]

No real estate / office spaces left. We don't want no immigration of filthy foreign banks to take away our precious office space needed for german banks.

Britain already has an insane immigration policy and legislation, so I don't even know what the hell people are complaining about

Or is it just the existing British citizens who don't look "English" who also should be thrown out?

Can verify JP Morgan myself, knowing someone who is a manager.

They were warned ahead of time about the outcome if leave won.

 

[Oriel]

He literally knows fuck all. An utterly clueless moron.

 

[nOoblet16]

This argument happens all the time in the US. The key thing people leave out, especially with the USA's extremely large migrant population, is that "natives" wouldn't perform those jobs at those wages. It is a weird moment were traditional liberal people are against increasing the wage power of the lower class.

But migrants are not to be blamed for that, it's the employers who are at fault there no?
If they were paying equal wages it wouldn't make it so difficult for natives to find work.

Then you have cases where people simply don't put effort into finding work and blame the immigrants straight away.

Don't really get the correlation. This is of a much larger consequence.

And I'm seeing A LOT of that on twitter. It's mind blowing. I'm not a proponent of this, but it's the biggest case of voting being a privilege and not a right in quite some time.
