The consequence thread (Brexit)

[Brian Equato]

Should be libel if written down shouldn't it? Slander is using the spoken word.

[ez8004]

No calling me wrong is no problem but being called an idiot is the insult.

 

Quote your post 3902 "Your idiocy knows no bounds."

 

As Socrates once said;

 

“When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.”

 

Since you don't remember the argument. You repeatedly perpetuated the false understanding that you understood how referendums work in this country and how the historic ones compare to the EU referendum. Do I need to state that you were wrong again?

Highly unlikely, in the case that they need labour, our labour costs are massively higher than less developed countries.

And in the case where it's more about capabilities, economies of scale apply, if there were a business opportunity to produce and sell the components then someone would already be exploiting it.

Whether people stop buying from you is a question of several parts.

Firstly, do you have competitors who haven't put up prices (answer, probably not, because the price increase is coming from the large suppliers originally).

Two, is the demand elastic or static. Ie, is it highly discretionary spend that people can just put off because it's now 10% more expensive. Some things, like food staples, are not very elastic, people feel like they have to buy them so a price increase doesn't reduce sales by much.

Justin sells and installs aerials, if someone NEEDS a new aerial, because the old one has come down in the wind or something, then for most people that won't be very elastic, they'll shop around a bit, find out the price and pay it.

I don't suppose many people install a new aerial just because they fancy it, so I'd expect that the price increase won't have much of an impact, so long as his competitors are also passing it on.

If this thread demonstrates anything, it's the mentality of leave voters. They continue to refuse to believe that an exit will be damaging, or they reject the views of experts about it, or they cherry pick nonsense about supermarket rollbacks.

Or they seem to find it amusing that they've voted for something highly destructive.

 

The ironic thing is, that not being very bright, they're the ones who are likely to suffer first, most and for longer. They really are turkeys that have voted for Christmas.

 

Bit dim insulting 17 million voters.

That's the whole point. There are a lot of things that are going to change and we don't know what will change or how.

 

Before there were a lot of givens and certainty. Now there is a decade or more of doubt and economic change. Why shouldn't people who want to remain be unhappy with this situation?

[El Cid]

They might be assembled there but the vast majority of parts, including the most expensive, the actual screen, are imported. Fortunately for the workers there the fall in the pound means they will earn less which compensates for that fact a little.

 

Your comment lacks facts, is very negative, and is wrong.

.......I can only assume you have not been around long enough to have lived through the cycles of "givens and certainty" and "doubt and economic change"!

Trust me, Brexit will be a minor blip on the screen of world events soon enough,and you will wonder why you got so hot under the collar about it.

There are much more important things you could be unhappy about..........or happy even!

Yeah, I lack facts, the simple fact that all, that is ALL, screens are made in 3 plants, all in Asia, purchased by all the big names. The three main manufacturers are based in South Korea and China.
