First exit polls suggest Sweden will reject the Euro

[Ecthy]

Are you implying my parents do not work for my money?

[Harovan]

My parents are retirees, so I have to work for their money as well. And for the living of my son, who is studying. Duh, it's about time that I do a bit for myself too.

Sorry for the cross-thread reference, btw.

[Ecthy]

I'll be a student soon myself. I always thought you were about average Apolyton age. Now I see you're 34 soon, so how can your son be studying? Early fatherhood?

oh, and: join the Euro, Sweden!

[Harovan]

I'm 45 (born 1958). It's Apolyton screwing my birth date.

[Ecthy]

that's fair enough then.

What we need now is a new Wallenstein beating up the Swedes. Discuss.

[Harovan]

Why punishing them? I don't give a wet fart on what currency they use. For their inland production it doesn't matter. In exports, they carry a currency risk, while their competitors in Euro countries do not. Imports will get more expensive, because the EU importer will take more money for him taking the currency risk. Foreign investments will be lowered for the same reason (and not because the EU is an evil empire according to some oversea trolls).

It's up to the Swedes. They decided not to, oh well, their loss. I didn't plan to travel there anytime soon, anyway. It's cold enough here.
