RE: Back and Looking Forward - Imprinted by LightCaptured
The prices did go up with us as the euro was introduced.
First the exchanged rate we received 30% kess
Next we paid for many years way too much "fee" to join the club with money waaters.
We hardly receuve unlike the poor countries.
We have inflation as well + the burden of more and more jobless people
The rule was rhere/set but also during those first years countries who couldn't meet the high standards were "in".
Spain and Greece for example. Because those countries lack a pension system like we have, we can work till 72 so they can retire before they turn 60 🤯
Ha ha, that's funny, and very unfair, of course. But imagine how two weeks after they announced that we would adopt the euro, prices in the country had already skyrocketed. I was supposed to go shopping today, but I couldn't because I wasn't feeling well and I haven't seen the new prices yet. They say they've gone up by 40%.
There's still half a year until this actually happens, but what will happen until then, I just don't want to think about. Because in a country like this, things are really scary and the prospects are terrifying. And I don't even know yet what's more terrifying - a third world war, or what awaits us now in the economic and financial sphere in the near and distant future.
