    I’m hoping the global reserve becomes the Euro instead of the Yuan, but the EU is particularly good at dragging their feet on things. It’s good that they’re starting to wake up, but I honestly don’t think they’ve fully accepted what’s happening over here, nor are they moving with nearly the level of alacrity that they should.

      They’re feeling a lot of the same pressures from the Russian Far Right as we are, we’re just farther along, although England got bitten pretty good by Brexit.

      Maybe it takes a dictatorship who doesn’t allow alrernative political perspectives to threaten their stability to control the world economy.

      The people are fully aware and we’re doing what we can to get things going but we have our own fair share of grifters slowing things down. Ursula von der Leyen is a horrible cunt who was essentially sent to Brussels so she’d stop bothering us in Germany and now she’s president of the EU commission. I still think we can do it but it’s gonna be despite politicians like her rather than because of them.
