Euro drops to 20-year low, approaches parity with dollar
The euro slid to a 20-year low and came closer to parity against the dollar on Monday on concerns that an energy crisis will tip the region into a recession, while the U.S. currency was boosted by expectations that the Federal Reserve will hike rates faster and further than peers.

First time in almost 20 years that such parity is reached, and it looks like it will cross the parity and fall. Everyone is expecting Europe to freeze come winter time as Russia simply holds on to their guns and closes the valves.

Well, one of the Alexes from the Duran did say that the Greek shipping magnates control the government, and that they have allegedly told Mitsotakis that he either carvs out exemptions for their tankers or he packs his bags, so...Zelenskyy rebukes Greek tankers for carrying Russian oil

I am sure that some of our other European warhawks are happy, though.
Even without the war though, if the ECB and the Fed did what they are doing we'd still see some of the same problem thanks to that mental retard Lagarde.
The Euro is garbage thanks to that moron.We need fucking tightening.

Sometimes I prefer an oligarchy to a virtue signaling so called democracy.

No, democracy has always been 2 sheep and a wolf, or 10 sheep and a wolf, forcing the other side into unsavory dietary choices.

But it is the times we live in.
Put yourself years back and you'd be in a monarchy, communist, fascist or republic state.

Democracy ain't great, but there simply isn't anything better. Anarchism sadly doesn't last, and dictatorship of whatever form always ends badly.
Democracy is Tyranny.
Republics are the best form of government we have at the moment.

You know I just remembered this video shared around. Can't argue against it when people choose bad leaders who grift or profit from their position.

Instead of one person telling all the people what to do, all the people will be telling all the people what to do, to paraphrase Andrew Ryan.
Was it Locke who said something along the lines of, "neither the majority should dictate to the minority what to do, nor vice-versa"?
In any case, I prefer <insert ruling system here> where my personal and economic freedoms are safeguarded.
Take Singapore for example, it is hardly a democracy, more like uniparty and uni-person rule, and yet it tops all rankings for quality of life, economic freedom and the like.
And taxes are way lower than in Germany and the rest of the western EU.
Yeah, particularly confederate-style republics like Switzerland are probably the best there is.
Only you have few personal freedoms in Singapore. Note that for most of its history, Singapore had one leader. And a dictatorship lasts fine while it has a good leader. The issue is getting the next leader to be competent at ruling, not just taking power, because since he's making the decisions, he needs to be competent.
Meanwhile, a US style democracy can deal with a bad ruler relatively easily. If they are really bad we vote them out. A dictatorship doesn't even have that solution: the only solution then is violence.
Yeah, you want a limited government then, because the thing most likely to harm personal and economic freedoms is government. Ends up the only forms of actually limited governments are some democracies, and places where it's physically impossible to govern in such a way, and with technology the latter option is going away.
They are pretty freaking similar when compared to the other options, so I was talking about both.

Or you poles can, you know, build some nuclear reactors...
We are, what, maybe 1/4 of your population, and we almost built a second nuclear power plant.
It will be the most delicious event ever if we can use the EU's green bullshit money to finally build Belene and upgrade and refurbish Cozlodui.

Except that the USA is not and was never meant to be a Democracy, but a constitutional, federal republic.
And I would rather have a mix of Singapore and Switzerland, thank you.
Switzerland has worked out quite well and for a lot longer than the USA, which had more natural resource and geographic isolation from any real enemies.
Long live the Special Economic Zone of New Vegas and it's cheif executive, Mr. House.
Mind you, I am not completely against democracy, there just has to be a civ that blocks all of the casuals and idiots from participating.
Like pole taxes and/or the fulfillment of some extremely nasty form of national service.
And higher education attainment in an actually relevant field, like engineering or medicine.
Good idea - but i would rather buy one or two from Japan.They would be more safe.
