@rwina you're dutch right?

How are the Dutch viewing recent EU politics regarding covid and funding?

watch this vid with subtitles

its by a dutch night talkshow host type thing but it explains alot

Good looks 😌

basically i stand by netherlands side

I'm just forming an opinion now, I didn't know netherlands wasn't happy with the EU until today listening to FT news briefing

i think its mainly the way italy suddenly wants to use eurobonds after theyve been warned so many times yk

is there other ways to pay for it?

the US is using bonds too but the expectation is there just gonna be bought back anyway by the banks from the gov so it doesn't really affect anything

yes.. Italy just loaning themselves

but they were insisting on using EU bonds while Netherlands has barely any debt and told Italy to calm down on their spending for a while now

Does the EU have a centralized banking system or is that just left to the countries?

I guess if all EU bonds had the same agreement they would buy back the bonds from the individual places (countries) like how the US is doing with it's banks, it wouldn't be bad?

Does seem like a headache though, Netherlands being better off than other places anyway I can see how it's annoying for you guys

f*** the eu

is it influential/actually used a lot?

yeah with closed borders EU is ass

Yeah it is

have you seen europe these days? open borders is what got them where they at lool

yeah , they run everything...

what are u referring too bro ?

I love the open borders , I can take trips wherever without a f***ing visa or s*** like that

Just asking EU is complicated af I'm new to it's politics

Read up on euro crisis 2010

Yea I knew about Greece and Spain

The eu wouldve worked if we stopped expanding. It can still work if they just stop adding new members and let the economy of the members stabilize

youve just highlighted why open borders doesnt work.

not really

big difference between open borders and the eu project

didnt say they were the same just that the same idea can be applied to open border ssituation.
