Whilst I like the list/site, I would offer an opposite view:
People believe voting can make a difference,
Politics has been shaken up for the first time in a generation,
Just over half the population are getting what they voted for,
Those of us in border towns should see an increase in jobs,
Change creates opportunity,
Personally I voted to remain, but I just keep seeing how it's going to benefit me personally. Which is more luck than most will get.
Of course major restructuring like this will be ground shaking, that's to be expected. The opposite is slow stagnation and continually chipping away at the status quo with slow progress.
I just expect a different reaction from HN.
Especially with a startup crowd. You'd think we would be all for this kind of innovation, this "dangerous" going against the grain, and separation from conglomeration.
There's been none of the apocalyptic predictions. In fact the FTSE100 is higher than it was before the referendum. There's going to be a short period of adjustment, but in the long run we're better out. The pound is down because all the banks bet billions on Remain and lost - including Virgin.
Remainders have been deluded by the EU ideal that is not the reality. the EU is the privatisation of government, and in collusion with big business. They hate democracy.
They kept, until after the referendum, the plans to start the EU army and the takeover of national central banks. This will happen to the 27 unless they get out. The EU will acquire competency over taxation, including corporation tax and income tax. They already control VAT (sales tax). VAT went up to 20% (from 17.5%) following handover to the EU. Almost all that difference goes to EU funding.
The cost of membership of the EU is rising every year. Why do we need to fund both a national government and an international one. It's all just greed.
Compared to the leave propaganda this is exceptionally tame. Anything you read about the future of the UK nowadays is pure speculation anyway. My guess is that the market recovered because right now it looks like the status quo will be mostly retained.
We won't know anything until many years after the decisions have been made. Even then it may be difficult to measure the effects.
