I have very mixed feelings about Brexit

12. I was thinking the same thing.

When tptb want all the money AND all the power... comes the backlash.

The rw uses fear of "the other" and hatred for anyone "not us" to stoke anger. Then the elites, who may as well be living on mars for all they know of the hardships their policies inflict on ordinary people, implement unfair trade deals. Perfect storm.

All parties involved are perfectly wrong.

The politicians perfectly ignore an effective & fair safety net for all workers.

They perfectly do not ensure that earnings aren't just a race to the bottom, but a fair assessment of the workers contribution to society.

The capitalists view profit as their only goal & divorce themselves from the society they were once a member of. Labor has no seat at that table.

Oh you can try to have it all... the power & the money concentrated at the top. But only for so long because it will always, always cause an ugly backlash.

You want a healthy society? Take the power or the money. But not both. Either give the workers the money or give them power over the direction of their communities. That's a successful formula for peace. At least IMO.
