Brexit

[Dungus]

Oh yeah, if we don't get independence now, we'll never ever get it. BRING IT

[Jwar]

God Save the Queen. I agree with the Fuck England thing.

[D.o.S.]

Two things. One from a very smart friend of mine:

The leave camp clearly don't have an actual clue what they're going to do now. EU is playing hardball at the moment but they can't make the UK activate article 50 to start the withdrawal process and the UK can't make the EU commence negotiations without activating article 50. Leave are all "oh there's no rush, we can take our time." The EU are all "you'll get a blimmin move on, sonny Jim." That means a period of staring balefully at each other and seeing who blinks. Given that *everyone's* markets are having a fit of the vapours at the moment, I wouldn't like to predict who's going to blink first. If it's the EU, then we're negotiating without the leaving mechanism being activated, which in turn means that a renegotiated membership could be on the cards. It depends how much the EU really want us in.

And then this because fuck everything:

Fucking n00bs

For us it doesn't really make a difference. For them it's a lot of different things. Did I post that article here? Let me find it.



Here it is. Give this a read.

For the US it means the pound is plummeting, so the exchange rate is better.

Right so good thing. hahahaha. So fucked up.

Wait....I need to buy a Wal bass! HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jwar]

It hasn't gone down enough yet. The pound is still too strong. It's a 6k purchase still. LOL!!!

[jrfox92]

Holy shit, as of 11:58 NY time the DOW is down 464 points.

[D.o.S.]

On the flip side, jwar, a lot of my friends and family found whatever savings they had worth 10% less today than it was worth yesterday when they woke up this morning, so forgive me if I'm not super excited about this development.

[Jwar]

Nah it definitely sucks. I have family over in the UK and feel for them. I don't know much about the stock market, so I can't say much on that. I do know when I had a 401k and the market crashed over here, I got fucked out of a lot of money as did my dad. He lost like 100k. I lost several thousand. So I definitely feel for them on that front.

My generation's been fucked by the older generations, most of whom it won't affect.

Cunts.

To top it off, they fucking lied to do it. A huge part of the leave campaign was that they would spend the money that we're currently spending on EU membership on the NHS. They wrote it on the side of their fucking campaign bus, and now they've won they've changed their minds.

I'm willing to bet that the number of people that voted Leave because of that promise is greater than the 1.9% difference between the two sides winning the vote for them

And to top it all off, the pound's fucked making buying anything from abroad 10-15% more expensive, not to mention the $250bn drop in our economy.

Fucking cunts

If you can wait a few years, it will probably end up being a $600 purchase when our economy collapses

[D.o.S.]

And the fucking Sleep show hasn't been rescheduled because fucking ATP collapsed.
