Whatever happened to the P.I.G.S.?


Let's hear what the new German Finance minister has to say about the "G" of them. If I am not mistaken, years ago this guy used to bitch on Schaeuble for not being strict enough on Greece during the peak of our crisis. Today he admits that the current Greek government not only changed the game but is also a paradigm for others, Germany included. Don't expect me to open champagnes for that as the whole ride of this 10 year crisis had an insane cost for me, the huge amount of money I lost not being the most important one. It's just that during hard times in history like that one, if you were wise enough to not follow the mainstream anti German insanity of the crowd neither the unfairly oversimplified "South is lazy" (like this guy did, like Schaeuble didn't resist it either) you were left all alone with your common sense and your only consolation was to wait one day for history to recognise that you were on the right side of things. Today, many friends and euros lost later, I can only say  "Thank you Mr. Lindner, however, with a bit more wisdom from your side it could all be so much easier for us and Europe, considering that (in theory at least) our lovely continent is our top priority like it should". I'm glad that Lindner's position confirms a new more promising chapter in the relation between the two countries, especially combined with the first German woman minister of Foreign, Mrs Baerbock (due to her positions not her genitals). By the way, good idea to rethink about selling those submarines to the asshole in the East isn't it? I mean, out of self respect first and foremost...

Have a good start and good luck!


In one of my frequent Forest Gump conspiracy free moments I wonder:

Why they call it "common sense" since it's not that common?
