Doc looks wicked offended in his shot . <| sep |> Short term ? We haven ' t even begun to see the consequences . Cost of living will be 1520 % higher by this time next year for one , in a country where purchasing power was already awful . Most retail items were already 2030 %% more expensive than in the US not including VAT , and I ' ve been watching the relative price of imports already go up 1015 % on top of that since June and they will continue to climb . As an American living in the UK , I ' m at least able to leave if it gets too ridiculous , but most Brits are stuck effectively being poorer . On a potentially bright side , at least Brits will now may be more apt to stay in their country to fix it rather than vacationing in Spain every two months .
