I honestly don't know if the way our economy currently runs if we would ever fully recover from another global recession. Yes we'd bounce back, but barely.
And I'll be honest, I was VERY surprised with the UK leave from the EU. Cause I tghought when Sadiq Khan became the new mayor of London, that they were making progress. The first muslim/arab politician in a high position of power in the Western World. But for every move the Western world makes that excels it forward, the powers of old white fear push it back decades and centuries simply because they are scared that they will suddenly have to atone for the sins of their colonial ancestors.
