Finally I managed to get the data on the effect of BREXIT on my work. Because of the way work is structured I effectively lose only 2.5% of my earnings. Bigger companies lose less. Not bad really, I could have lost a lot more.
The more we separate into little groups the more it costs.
There has been a lot of talk about handling things locally recently and yes it might be better at a local level in some ways. But it costs more.
This is the big challenge – how big should government be? Bigger means cheaper, but less personal. This isn’t just about the economy of scale though – it is about the cost of borders.
Borders cost.
I see there is going to be a trial of UBI in Wales some time. It will be interesting seeing how it manages the border issue. I like the idea of UBI, but my suspicion is that it might mean a much tougher border policy.
