From what I'm reading and seeing this morning, Brexit is going to cost tons of jobs as Corporations decide to move out of the UK to EU countries. That just adds to more of the problem because any corporation that wants to remain in the EU will never move to the UK now. So, not only will they (the UK) lose jobs initially they may not be able to bring any in. Sadly, I think many had forgotten what the UK was like prior to joining the EU.
i.e. money: I've seen an uptick on DU during this election season that money is the enemy... as are people that want to make money or have it. Suddenly being prosperous is a bad thing among some. I don't get it myself. I'm never going to be "rich" but I don't begrudge anyone who is or wants to become so.
