    It was never a good idea. Mark Carney tried to warn the public, but his criticisms were discarded as “political”.

    Now everyone is blaming everyone for the outcome of a public vote.

    It was xeonphobia driven by Boomer jingoism against Europe.

    The day after the vote, the top Google search was “what is brexit”? They fucked over everyone under 40.
