Quite an insightful analysis here.

Trilimma.

If the EU was the future, it was a future without work. Here’s the current youth unemployment figures.

The Brexit vote on Thursday ends that story

Not THAT insightful.

The funniest thing is that Cameron thought Obama would help the cause for REMAIN. Instead, it was probably the one thing that caused more voters to vote LEAVE.

Obama thinks everyone loves his sorry azz. The media doesn’t have all of us fooled like the clown believes.

[Neoliberalnot]

If only we could follow the UK’s example and have a number of states withdraw from the DC empire.

[MtnClimber]

I strongly disagree with this analysis. A country can trade with other countries without being taxed by the European Union, Soviet Union or United Nations. Globalization has existed for centuries. One World Government is what these leftists want and it means the same as Tyranny. Britain was being taxed by the EU to be redistributed to the basket case countries like Greece and Spain. How is this good for Britain. The EU regulations being imposed on member countries were vast and were killing business. The EU even regulated the proper shape of a banana that could be legally sold in EU countries.

[TribalPrincess2U]

No it isn’t.

[plain talk]

The economic story of the past quarter-century was the rapid advance of globalization, the unleashing of trade and commerce among countries rich and poor - a McDonald’s in every European capital, “Made in China” labels throughout Toys R Us. The Brexit vote on Thursday ends that story, at least in its current volume.

No it doesn't.

Hey WaPo! Nobody believes a word you say anymore! If anything, they take what you say and believe the exact opposite. Oh, and go to hell, the lot of you traitors!

[MasterGunner01]

The socialist elites at the WaPo are shaking in their knickers over the Brexit of the UK. This is the first of at least five other European countries that want out of the EU. Frau Merkel in Germany is very nervous because the whole stinking facade is about to come crumbling down. Merkel is one of the tub thumpers for the EU super state and she see everything coming undone. Awwwww.

Prospects now look bleak for completion of major new trade agreements, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership and a new accord between the United States and the European Union, no matter who wins the U.S. presidential election in November.

The Tedster is deeply saddened.

[Flintlock]

Lemmie see now:
Unemployment for the ‘middle class’.
Lowered INCOMES for the middle class (with jobs).
STAGNATION for the last decade or two.

That’s one hell of a business plan, genius.

[Ophiucus]

The exact opposite is true. Britain now has the opportunity for actual free trade. The EU is not a free trade region. It is a highly regulated and restrictive trade zone.

Freeing themselves of high tariffs and banned trade will give them economic growth.

[Lurker]

No, it’s tripe.

[Fhios]

Yea, it’s a bad omen for politically driven and politically correct driven globalist adventures, but Why can’t they just make simpler regional trade agreements and renegotiate them over the years as needed during option periods?

[Nifster]

Not really....the analysis is very skewed towards the globalist view point...it is a meh

[ronnie raygun]

World commerce was fine, the globalists wanted control

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Free societies are bad for world commerce.

Spit.

[Chode]

i guess that's why the Swiss economy is in the sh!tter then... wait, never mind

[WRhine]

Heaven forbid a NATION that pursues trade agreements in its favor. Globalists are only for trade agreements that export American jobs, technology and wealth to the 3rd World while inundating this country with 3rd world immigration.

To the people that matter in this country, we have all seen how this has played out. And we will take no more.

A tip of the hat to the UK for throwing down the gauntlet on the nation destroying global elitists. These political roaches have to be exterminated from every position of influence they nest in...which is to say everywhere.

[trebb]

Chaos - seems ironic that wages stopped keeping pace with inflation once we became more fully invested in globalism. Used to be that over a 10 year period, wages went up faster than inflation and one who was eking it out ended up with disposable income. Now those who had disposable income so me years ago are eking it out...
