Can't wait to hear what they tell hondo to tell us about this.
Precursor to the US Election IMO ... you are spot on.
During my travels, I can't even begin to tell you how much some of the smaller communities in this country are hurting ... the global economy idea is nice in theory but it leaves a lot of people on the sidelines.
Think to your jobs and your friends and how many of you actually produce goods or services? Most of us that live in the larger cities are able to have jobs where we use our minds to earn our living. But outside of the larger, if you aren't producing some kind of good, you don't have a job. It's a significant issue and there are a number of people falling in that category.
When you think in those terms, you get what we're seeing in the global US economy where the rich are getting super rich and the poor getting poorer. It's an explainer of why the middle class is shrinking.
I'm not advocating that inefficient markets and isolationism is the way to go. But at the same time, there is a clear need to figure out how to create opportunities for all in a way that doesn't leave so many behind. It's not healthy for a country and/or a global economy.

I see two potential paths. We can either try to retrain those lost in the tides of globalism and help them adjust to this new information technology economy we're in, or we can try to turn the clocks back to 1980 and bring back our manufacturing jobs by creating trade barriers so large the companies that stick around have no choice but to have a supply chain that consists of nothing but Americans.
Obama's comment about Britain going to the back of the trade line is bullshit. Worry about the fucking Chinese instead of our strongest ally.
That comment was stunning. Obama once again disrespects our greatest ally, and worse, actually threatens them. That vote was all about sovereignty and self determination. Major tip of the cap to the British people for taking their country back. May others, including our own country, have the courage to follow.

At this point the EU is Germany's private fiefdom, why leave.
More like Germany is the personal bailout machine for failing nations of EU. Having separate fiscal policies under a unified monetary policy sure is special!

Indeed, the British people should celebrate this incredible display of nationalism!
Should be a great time for the next 12-24 months before Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to secede and re-join the EU. All of this should be a cautionary tale for white trash Americans and Euro-trash nationalists alike: while the economic repercussions will be harsh across the board, it will be far worse for the working class (Race's fabled "vast middle.) Go ahead and put the noose around your own neck. You deserve it.
