The Americans are just starting to do repossessions, good thing the American international empire isn't dependent on the European trade block, other wise well you know the us trade block wouldn't have manufacturering in its sphere of influence, crazy! Good thing China is a giant factory we can just keep bullying them forever and pushing for Taiwan independence after we signed a chapter saying its not a country. Bet nothing bad will ever come of any of this. Who needs domestic manufacturers, and a real econmy thats not just spread sheets!

Chimerica and Eurussia are over. Russina is my new best friend
POGGGG my server will be cheaper. Euro fell off much harder than other non-dollar currencies too!
We can be sad that it's happening, but also smug that we knew it would happen when everybody else was nose deep in ideology
My extended family switched all their savings to dollars when the euro switched over. They grew up and lived through both eastern fronts (yay generational trauma) and thought the euro would crash and they would have to escape to america.
We didn’t actually know this until they died about 10 years ago and we found tens of thousands of dollars under their mattress, having lost like 40% of its value. We ended up slowly moving it back to exchange and wiring it back to relatives to minimize fees, but I’ve been thinking about this a lot this year.
having lost like 40% of its value
when did the dollar lose 40%, am I misunderstanding
Since they initially converted it, the euros would've appreciated a lot in between. Instead they had USD under the mattress.
They switched it right away and the euro debuted at like 90 cents or something. At its peak I think it was like 1.30/1.40? Maybe 40% is too high but we converted everything and back at essentially the worst possible time.
I know people who currently live in Portugal, I should send them money and have them buy me stuff.
So...this is bad, right? For the people living in Europe, I mean.
:ukkk: bux are next
And then :amerikkka: bux after that :mao-shining: (just not at the moment, maybe after the :covid-cool: thing)
