#Regrexit -- Uh, hugh....they were told what would happen and they thought everyone was wrong....

[320 Years of History]

...Now they are seeing the consequences and they don't like them one bit.

• Regret voting to leave the EU? There's a hashtag for that: #regrexit
• Leave voter regrets voting Leave when he realises it means we're now Leaving
  
• Regret-xit: why some Brexit supporters wish they could take back their vote
  
• 'I'm full of regret' - extraordinary moment Brexit voter changes her mind

The pitiful thing is that they were told what is happening now would happen. They were told that by people whose jobs it is to accurately have predicted it. And therein is exactly why there's no excuse for what is now happening.

• The economic consequences of leaving the EU
  
• What if...? The consequences, challenges and opportunities facing Britain outside the EU
  
• Should We Stay or Should We Go? The economic consequences of leaving the EU

Those are just three of the comprehensive and rigorously thought through studies of what would happen as a result of a Brexit. Yes, one has to take the time to read the documents. Yes, the documents are a whole lot longer than a tweet. But don't you think your and your kids economic destiny is more important than what can be covered in a tweet? Or even a long web forum post? I sure care more than that.

But Brits could only see the "trees." They could only see that there were immigrants in the workforce. So there the U.K. is now, Brexit-ing. The pound has plummeted. Stocks around the world tank. But the U.K. is Brexit-ing, so that makes it all better. Really?
