And that's not counting how much of the global USD supply is held by China as a currency reserve. Now if they went and sold all that for other currencies, hyperinflation in the US would break records.

His charities helped a lot of liberal politicians in Eastern bloc states start their careers by providing education and funding.

Including one Viktor Orbán.

Exactly my point, the meme insinuates that the only way men become lonely is that they hate women, which is not true and is a harmful generalisation.

You can express a controversial view on any European campus (outside Hungary, at least) without fear of losing your tenure or your grant.

You can freely express any controversial view on Hungarian campuses, nobody cares at all. Most people in Hungary don't care about the whole Gaza situation one way or another, with a slight exaggeration if you asked the average university student in Hungary where Gaza is, they would think you're looking for some nightclub.

The only people who care about Palestine in Hungary are the far-right, Orbán's far right being pro-Israel because kleptocrats stick together, while the extreme far right is pro-Palestine because they hate Jews. They usually won't be university educated either.

As faculty, you can also express whatever views, a lot of people were straight up protesting the government at one point, but there is not much they can do with them legally and Orbán's gang didn't care enough to alter the laws for that.

Unlike the Germans

But he still is in the fourth step, and it is presumed that the first three is how he got there.

Social division pays. Social division kills.

It's a meme targeting lonely men by equating them with incels.

That's the western EU you are talking about. The average amount of bank accounts in Italy, Romania, Hungary is actually less than one, as in not everyone even has a bank account. A collapse of the Italian banking sector would still cause an EU-wide problem.

And the question is how much money will stay with commercial banks. If close to 100%, then the whole initiative is pointless since nobody uses it. If it's less than 50%, then that means that 50% of the money in the commercial banking system is gone.

Digital currency is only within EU regions

I wonder how that would even work, since the CDBC should be fungible with the Euro. Does that mean I would not be able to pay someone in Albania in dEuros, only in physical Euros?

Even so, my point is that there is no point in creating another European payment system besides SWIFT, and if the new accounts could do SWIFT, then they can do most everything and they won't be limited to Europe. And even if they are, I imagine most payments - like 98%+ - of Europeans are within Europe anyway.

Yeah, but if the tariffs would have stayed in place, we would have potentially caused a trade war with China, isolating us against the US and Russia.

If the minimum prices would have not been set, we would have lost additional industrial capacity, and while I loathe VW and BMW leadership, I feel for their workers.

Yes, some EVs will be more expensive, but compared to those other outcomes, it only affects people buying new cars.

Yeah, but if everyone keeps their money on their dEuro account, what do banks loan out money from? Also most people don't need anything other than basic SWIFT transfers in their lives.

The others still use European software for cockpit display, fuel management, on-board vehicle systems, Euripean made rear fuselages, and ejection seats.
