Is there a good unbiased rundown of the Brexit situation overall somewhere? I'm a US goon that started paying attention to this way too late and everything I'm looking at either seems really partisan or has very little information other than 'this is good/bad'. Edit: e.g. how it affects uk/europe + why this vote is even happening in the first place.

Thanks for the info links. I really don't understand this fear of experts and massive distrust of knowledge that people have. I understand that some 'experts' are paid rear end in a top hat shills - smart people, but still rear end in a top hat shills. But that's not all of them. That's not even the majority of them. My general philosophy is that there are obviously a huge amount of people that are both smarter than me and also spend most of their life getting really good at poo poo that I think about for maybe five minutes. While I should obviously form my own opinion on a subject, I also know that these people have way more knowledge on that subject than I do. Why should I distrust them (as a whole)? Why would I assume that I know better than them? I really don't understand how people have this level of distrust, and yet I see it every loving day. What is the source? Is it age? My philosophy hasn't changed in ten years, so I don't think it's that. Is it just general stupidity? blaarrrgghhh

Yes, I know Britain has their own currency, but it's still not a good idea to hitch your wagon to a horse that may run off a cliff at any moment. Eh I think the Euro has been more of a problem than the EU, strictly speaking. That said yeah when a heart idea turns into a lovely paralyzed bureaucracy then maybe it's not such a good idea any more.
