speckled tangerine Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 13 minutes ago, Ex-pat Scotty said: The ECB set the interest rates acros the eurozone, all eurozone countries have to then have the same financial bubble inducing practices (construction and property, for example). To stop the whole thing from crashing, new members are constantly touted to offset the effects of constant bailouts of money they never really had. I think you'll find that is a Ponzi scheme. Sorry if that's difficult to understand So Croatia, who was the last country to join the EU in 2013 and doesn't use the Euro is somehow (with 5 million people) keeping an EU/EURO ponzi scheme from collapse? I've had your Ladybird Book version. Give me the detailed version if you like as that synopsis was the dictionary definition of talking out your arse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled tangerine Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 To get back on track though- shortages in fuel. Nae HGV drivers. Gaps in ordinary goods on shelves. Medicines (including MS stuff for myself and Calpol for small children) unavailable. Limited storage for gas, particularly compared to our European "partners" (and prices MUCH higher too). Things are great, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you understand the difference between the EU and Euro currency? Dear me, you don't seem too bright, how about getting off your SJW arse and doing some independent research? "Ponzi Scheme" Definition: A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often promise to invest your money and generate high returns with little or no risk. ... With little or no legitimate earnings, Ponzi schemes require a constant flow of new money to survive. .....no "new investor" since 2013. Five million people. Doesn't use the currency. f**k me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speckled tangerine Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Ex-pat Scotty said: You clearly don't realise many countries outside the euro are tied to the ECB, similar to the ERM. Other outside countries are also constantly called upon to assist in bailouts. For example, the UK was called upon to bail out Ireland to the tune of 7 billion in 2010 alongside the ECB, who have, incidentally allowed another property bubble to develope over there. Like I said, do some research. You're apparently the expert. You called the Euro a "ponzi scheme". My limited knowledge of this term is something like the Farepack debacle. If you don't know how a "ponzi scheme" works then don't use the term. It makes you look ignorant particularly when you're discussing intricate political and constitutional affairs. Just saying.

You don't understand how a "ponzi scheme" works. You described the Euro as a "ponzi scheme". To run a ponzi scheme you require new investors regularly to pay for those already involved. If this isn't the case the whole thing collapses. I fail to see how Croatia joining 8 years ago, but not using the Euro maintains a "ponzi scheme". If you don't understand this very simple fundamental, you can't possibly understand more difficult stuff. Dunning Krueger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Scotland were to become independent and then join the EU they would be one of the smallest member states, this would meant the EU would dictate everything, from commission appointments to national budgets. Scotland would likely be corralled into joining the biggest Ponzi scheme in the world, the euro as well. There's f**k all difference between the EU and the Nazis. They're certainly both run by the Germans. What is the basis for the highlighted parts? The last two sentences should see you banned for your own good. They'd be unacceptable at the best of times, and they certainly are in the context of this discussion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
