Baby, Please Don't Go!

It's difficult to say anything pithy yet about the Brexit earthquake that struck yesterday. I may post about it later when the dust begins to settle. I will say that it will be a loooonnnnng process and will fill the news for a couple of years.

The one thing I wanted to mention is how unexpected it was to the average American adult. I'll use my wife as an example. She is the definition of a low-information voter. (I love you, honey!)

As is my wont, yesterday morning I had CNBC on the iphone and television and it was full of the Brexit news. My wife watches the occasional evening news a few times a week and that's the limit of interest. Her comment? "What's all this about?"

I suspect the vast majority of Americans said the same thing. The earth moved and they didn't even notice.
