Wow, I had to look that one up. Had never heard of it.

This looks promising. I’m in Ireland - we’re always the last to get these (too small a country!)

One to keep an eye on - thanks for that.

I wish Europe had its own payment system (that’s widely accepted). There are a few, but tend to be only at a national level.

Go old school. The old internet was the local public library. The high street will thrive with new found customers. All the tech bros will need to find another sink for their funds - maybe they’ll take up philanthropy. I’m failing to see a downside here :-)

Collectively, you voted for this fascist. As a non-USian, I’ll just grab my popcorn and watch the drama unfold. Very similar to watching the Brexit debacle here in Europe.

So this is what freedom looks like? Where are all the 2nd Amendment fanboys when they’re needed? Probably sitting in the parents basement surfing the net for manga.

But it’s even worse than that. The US has to rollover about 9 trillion of debt in 2025. Someone has to buy these bonds and if Japan or China are reluctant, it likely means higher interest rates to be offered in order to secure the sale.
