I believe to remember vaguely that the Montan Union was basically initiated by the French to keep a close watch over the naughty Germans.
Keeping that in mind, I have an impression that this project somehow got a bit out of control.
Indeed. Mixing so many different cultures with at least half a dozen of different political histories, while trying to implement equal measures that cover mainly economic aspects was expected to fail. It's just a matter of time, or a matter of severity of the problem(s) the union will have to face. Similiar to the problems of globalization, only at a lower scale, imho. Covid: While the growth rate of infected cases in my country slowed down a little over the last days, people are getting confident that curfew will end in two or three weeks. But it was sunny and warm outside, and the weather is changing now. Clouds, snowfall, low temperatures. Makes SARS-CoV-2 easier to spread. Today they tested the first case in my district to be positive, a small company where the guy worked was quarantined, but three of his collegues were not at home when the testing staff showed up at their door. I also saw a lot of cars of people i know, parked in front of houses away from their homes. On the positive side, i found out that going fishing is allowed while you're alone and keep a distance to other anglers. I will be cleaning and servicing my rods and equipment tomorrow  |

It would have been a good idea to warn said members before banning them. But maybe this giveaway thing is a very sensitive topic for the mod(s). Hard to tell, when no exchange of communication with the mod in charge is possible... See you guys in a week, you know where, you know who you are  |

I would be very careful taking either zerohedge or rt.com seriously. zerohedge is a conspiracy theory/pseudo science blog and rt is Russian propaganda. While the quoted article is true. Germany has export restriction on masks and 3M Germany tried to ship some trucks full of masks to Switzerland. Switzerland is not part of the EU, so good luck to them getting masks on the market. Actually Germany also blocked several shipments from China to Switzerland in Hamburg based on their new restrictions. Not much to do with this EU free market fuckery, just stealing things basically. But for completeness sake: These shipments are said to be released meanwhile. But the unfriendly act of Germany has not been received too well in Switzerland, that could easily backfire later. But it is heartwarming to watch from outside how solidary all the EU helps Italy in these times.. Agree. This is what the EU was founded for in the first place. But some members think they are more important than others, based on membership time and economy figures. This is deadly for any alliance, but we'll see how the EU holds up while being put through the current challenges in the future. Already weakened by the immigration issues of the last decade, the EU may fail even more because of Covid19. |

+1 WOsMerit is the guy from the video a WO member?
...
I hope so. Cool as ice Laughter in dutch Made me break down, actually  You are your safest sex partner. Masturbation will not spread COVID-19, especially if you wash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after sex.  ...while you're holding your breath til cum (also goes faster). Rimming (mouth on anus) might spread COVID-19. Virus in feces may enter your mouth.  And vice versa? |

Switzerland is not part of the EU, so good luck to them getting masks on the market.
LOL, they have all the luck, resources, money they need. True. But the're generally dependent on imports a lot. They cover about 10% of base food production by farming. |

You can't put a price on a good shit.
Ho Ho Hodlsleep after a good laugh A word for those on a curfew: Go into yourself when you can't go outside. While the children Lambie is asleep. You can almost see how fragile the emotions are at these times. Strong pump, very much like "in the books", followed by insecurities after blow-off phase, leading to a dump.
I'm scared I haven't bought nearly as enough coins back, as the ones I sodl recently.
Coins happily picked up by hodlers and bargain boyz, price rising again...
Sheeeit...
Bad news on the horizon, i expect to go lower soon again, even more than once within the next few months. If we don't go low-low, well... i'm fine with both, as fiat has not yet rushed in at my bank account.
Never mind, I'll give it go, some noob might bite.
Yet another EDIT: I see the Coronavirus Outbreak thread seems to die off. Well, it's flooded by conspiracy theorists and esoterics anyway. I'm quite happy to see the Covid discussion light up in WO again, and i will happily join when outside of the daily childcare hours.
Dsquared.
You could have had that a lot cheaper. I'd recommend the plain old garden hose for a sufficient preview of that bidet feeling. Just don't turn the water up fully  But but, I want even cheaper: Done with your visions? Thanks for the entertainment |

We are doomed to skid marks and crusty cling-ons folks...... just like my cats. (but they don't seem to mind...)
Screw that dude. On the basis of this thread I ordered one of those bidet things and will install it this weekend. We'll see how it works. You could have had that a lot cheaper. I'd recommend the plain old garden hose for a sufficient preview of that bidet feeling. Just don't turn the water up fully |

$6,272
$6,334
Fucking nice recovery from $5,7xx in the past hour. Seems like a bullish rejection of a dump attempt by the bears.

Whew ... so much more peaceful when the children go to bed.
Heh, and my post-menstruative wife finally fell asleep too Quiet, and all the peaceful time only for relaxed WO backreading. EDIT: After the first week of curfew the kids finally stopped going wild at each other. I could live like that for months easily now. EDIT2: Thinking of your posting twice after reading the Slayers hodlsleep announcement... You didn't speak of Lambie, did you? |

I'd say trading this market right now is lethal.
Anyone who didn't already make up their mind if they were in or out is just gonna lose more with every trade.
I agree, especially to the extent of establishing or cashing out a largish position. Nibbling a few sats or a bit more here and there is fine. That said, if someone bought at 4.0-4.5K and sold at 6.7-6.9K-that was a great trade, not sure if there will be more like these. We'll see, but at this realtively high relative range (delta around 2.2k) it's rather unlikely to happen again anytime soon. |

If i'd be in BTC for the weekly fiat yield, i would have sold at about this time, too. As we zoom out, we should see a steady, more gradual increase in the future. This was just a bump because of a pump&dump. My 2 cents at $5.928 EDIT: TBH, i was thinking about selling a bit, just to buy back shortly after (this dump). Still, though i am in BTC, i am still quite risk averse Plus it would have made me a victim to the tax office (In my case: 1yr holding time, then tax free). |

It's not about the Covid deaths. It's about their consequences.
Snakes don't do much damage to the economy, do they?
Well, maybe we shouldn't overreact and shut down the economy then. Agree. If people could (would be willing to) interact in a manner that slows down the spread, economy could continue in some kind of "safe mode". It's because many people are too dumb (simply put), so they get locked down. Would be better to control spread via hygiene and technology to avoid overloading the healthcare system. lockdown is quite a dumb measure, and if you even think of the consequences of taking the freedom of millions... |

Because we are talking about a fraction of the deaths snake bites cause each year.  Yes, King Bitcoin will do well from all the money printing the hysteria and panic have caused. The hysteria is melting away, but the printed money will not. Doom callers will not apologize for scaring newbs out of coins. It's not about the Covid deaths. It's about their consequences. Snakes don't do much damage to the economy, do they? |

This is a celebrity named Olga. random calender type pic of girl (ukraine's miss march?)Here is a long list of famous people w Covbull-19. Almost all are feeling fine, one has some body aches, and one is doing fine in a hospital. Covbull-19 seems to have its strongest effects on money printers and T.P. lovers. https://www.vulture.com/2020/03/famous-people-celebrities-with-coronavirus.htmlBased on testing numbers about 11 percent of the NBA has Covbull. About half of a percent of the U.S. House of Representatives has tested positive. They all are feeling fine. I'm starting to wonder if somewhere between .5 and 11 percent of the U.S. has it and its actually extremely rare to get any symptoms stronger than the flu. Germany has been doing a lot of testing. They have a .2 percent mortality rate. The new drugs should get it under flu death rates soon. Prognosis: Covbull healthwise is a nothing burger and never comes close to killing as many as the 80k deaths caused by snake bites each year. Febrile money printers can't undo what they have done. Helicopter money is upon us. Bernanke prophecy fulfilled. There are two major strains of SARS-CoV-2. One is causing 99% "mild" symptoms. The other one is not so nice. Ask fillippone. Every day there are more young men on respirators in Italy. It's delayed but it will spread in the USA too. Build your house of cards. Bitcoin doesn't care |

https://www.politico.eu/article/the-austrian-ski-town-that-spread-coronavirus-across-the-continent/See my posts from 2 or 3 days ago... (Most) Austrians are some retards, but the Tyroleans are forming the top of the stupidity bell curve. A well known secret, but now it's official EDIT: As a candy, i just read that the austrian government experienced a a big data leak. A vulnerability in their Covid-information website allowed the download of infection databases to the world. Including names and details on cases. That's Austria. The chancellor has plans for "Austria-Cloud", containing digitalized personal data from all citizens. I bet they feel safe AF using that. That's what i call transparency. A bit complicated, but well...

Communists do not care about human life. That is their defining characteristic. The only thing they do well is kill their own people.
They also lie. There is no way the disease spread exponentially, and then suddenly flatlined. It is just not possible.
Dude, grow up. Everybody is lying. It is a human strategy for winning. Even if the weakest minds among us believe (or are made believe to) that they are the strongest. Research and you'll find answers, regarding the curve problem. EDIT: To be honest, there was a time when i was a believer of quite some conspiracy theories too. It's just your own mind, creatively distracting you from your true self. Trust me. I've been there. Maybe you just don't know this, but conspiracies exist. And people lie to different degrees. The more to the left, the more and bigger the lies. What i know is that most people lie most often to themselves. Conspiracies exist, but not to that degree. An underused mind gets very creative. Who are you to say how big a conspiracy can get? I mean the degree of all conspiracy theories. Every news headline adds to or starts a conspiracy theory. The only real conspiracy i know of is the one our mind constantly spins against our (un)consciousness. Get real. The matrix is not out there, it's inside your own head |
