How is that any different than before the vote?

Our plan for economic growth seemed to amount to importing mass cheap labour and blowing up a housing bubble.

Though my perspective is biased, my product has been designed to only increase in demand during an economic downturn. That's what happens when you enter the job market post-2008, adaptation.

And despite the shit show, the political changes we've experienced are a significant improvement from David Pigfucker and the economically incompetent Mr Osbourne.

I didn't vote Leave but I'm starting to feel somewhat optimistic about a Brexit from a long-term perspective. The strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire.

Let's look at the global context. Undoubtedly the root problem we face is overpopulation. Some would say globalisation. We have lots of developing countries raising living standards at scale, fast. We have mass population displacement (just getting started, go look at Water Scarcity predictions) and we have global unsustainable resource infrastructure. Regardless of anyone's actions, this is probably going to be the most turbulent century in our species history.

Consumption is rising. Competition is rising. Most of the development going on is copy + paste so innovation isn't keeping pace. That's a somewhat suicidal trajectory. Unless AI magically saves us.

We're not going to be able to reduce consumption, it just ain't going to happen fast enough. The only way to get out of this dilemma long term is innovation at an absurd scale and pace. I've begun to wonder, what's really innovative about centralisation of power? It's the same old thing.

I agree it's a risk. But take a historical and long-term perspective. Innovation is sort of our strength considering our size. Maybe taking risks is what drags us forward?

Sorry got a bit rambly. Not really all directed at you.
