And here I am , chilling in my bed and thinking if I ' m going out tonight while my continent is being attacked and classified as a war zone . Tragic . <| sep |> The taxi industry is the Comcast of transportation . <| sep |> I don ' t think expecting an immediate impact was ever realistic . Using my own business as an exampleThe value of the pound is the latest immediate threat . The majority of costs are for various cloud computing solutions , which are all paid in dollars . The drop in the pound were not a problem as , like most businesses , we had hedged against movements in currency , meaning that we were protected against the recent falls . The problem is that now exchange rates are stabilising lower , our costs are up around 11 %. It is not an urgent issue for me , as we make enough profit to cover this . Eventually it is likely to result in higher prices or cost cutting for the majority of businesses effected .
