My argument is to look at the long term objective. Not 1 year from now. I'm talking 10, 20 years.
I don't think anyone has really suggested the short term economic collapse is a good thing, but I don't think it's as bad as the hysteria I keep seeing from people acting like it's the literal end of the world as we know it. Long term though do we want to continue being chained by an EU economy that has seen its GDP share globally fall and fall? That restrains us from making our own trade deals?
The 'it will get better' response is because everyone is acting like we'll never recover at all.
