2019 is almost over

Well, haven't posted here in a while. The president is about to be impeached. There was a disastrous vote in the UK meaning that a hard Brexit will happen now. Scotland will go for independence sooner rather than later. Northern Ireland could descend into violence if the Good Friday Accords aren't honored, and there's a small but not insignificant chance it would reunite with the rest of Ireland to stay in the EU. I fear a return of violence to be more likely.

On the plus side we just had a CarPlay stereo installed in our car.

Brexit. Holy crap!

What hath austerity wrought. So basically everything the Brits are legitimately angry at have nothing to do with leaving the EU. Basically, the older voters have ruined the future of young voters in the UK. The immediate effect is that with the plunging Pound was to ruin their economy.

The only sliver lining is that Scottish independence is back on the table. If they vote to leave the UK which was going to happen eventually, they'll join the EU. All of this is going to take time to sort out.
