How about something different on 'Brexit"? ... Prof. Mark Blyth on the Brexit vote

4. Brexit, pretty misrepresented in our media

It's portrayed as some horrible, racist plot, to attack poor immigrants. In truth, like he says, it ties in to the misery created by globalization, by the rich putting ordinary workers in competition with people who drink rainwater from puddles, and hook up to the electric grid with Jumper cables, so they can play their transistor radio, in their hovel tent, in the shanty town next to the factory.

Thom Hartmann has been taking this position since the vote. It's not racism, it's the jobs stupid, it's the economy. Wages are in the tank, mechanization and robotics are taking over, and neither party gives a crap about the middle class, much less the "unmentionable" poor.

This guy is fantastic, and far closer than anything on our absurd MSM's small range of right-wing, to far right-wing. I've stopped watching any MSNBC, even abandoning Rachel two weeks ago, with her horrible treatment of our candidate. But I suspect it's reporting it as a stupid, racist move by the clueless British people too. In truth, it is just workers, who feel they have no say or party anymore, voting to keep their jobs. And it hurts the rich, mostly, exiting the EU.

I loved his last comment, about "The Hampton's." "Very hard to defend a low-lying beach. Eventually, people will come for you."
