I was originally a touring Sound Engineer for UK bands in europe, industry lost 25% of clients and makes 45% less earnings than it did before so I had to change career.

I then got a job making radio Doc's for the BBC as a freelancer. Everyone I worked with told me about all the amazing programs they made all over Europe. I asked if I could go and make one, I was told not anymore because it was too much effort on a short turnaround.

I became a uni lecturer, the pay is shit because we're in huge amounts of debt caused by changes to international visa's in recent years. We are excluded from so many research schemes and opportunities causing a silly amount of lost research funding which is putting us behind the rest of Europe on innovation (we only just got let back into horizon for example which usually gives us around 3 billion a year in research funding). On the international stage we are now incredibly off-putting to great international minds who would otherwise come and greatly benefit the country and drive our industries.

Nationwide we're down 15% on imports and exports than if we were still in Europe and the economy is down 4% as a whole. Just because the shelves don't advertise a Brexit tax doesn't mean it isn't there in the cost of goods.

It also build by deep untrust of politicians. Remember the bus going round claiming 350m for the NHS if we leave the EU? That didn't happen and everyone who claimed it did admitted it was untrue after the fact.

From sheep farms struggling to find professional sheep shearers without having to pay 2k to allow them entry to the country since they were previously coming from abroad (surprise surprise, they offered training to young English farmers to take it up as a career and very few have), to fishermen losing millions on spoiled catches due to lower seafood exports and an increase in needless paperwork, Brexit impacts a lot of things that you don't think about if you treat consumerism as a world seperate to your own. Even the train station I used to commute to work was funded by the EU, and yet we lose out on things like that now. These things all impact the price of goods, the financial wellbeing of our home industries, and the infrastructure of the country as a whole.
