richstonia

eesti is beesti!

the prices are much higher than in the rest of Eastern Europe

thanks to euro

heard recently KE wants to boost Poland's entrance in the euro zone

hope Poles will be wise enough not to fall in this misery

huh you know KE ?

you are well informed

i dont think its that much of misery, it has its pros and cons, if it was up to me I'd want Poland to go for it because it's sort of a civilizational thing, like to have us firmly belonging to the West, like Slovakia, they belong to the EU core now as they have euro

the introduction of euro in the Baltic states rapidly made everyone poorer and as these countries didn't really recover from the Great Recession, it slowed their growth even further

can't say anything about Slovakia, though

how do you prove you got poorer when theres growth <:thonking:318673885497262091>

GDP growth doesn't make you richer

all goods became less affordable at once

Apart from this I wonder how people would react when they would realise they get 3 euro per hour when french get 12 for same work <:haha:318675605233336330>

hi

hi kitty

they shouldnt introduce the euro in eastern europe

until theyve already caught up

^ this

yeah in 600 years lol

but western europe are the ones benefiting

so it makes sense why it is this way

not Western Europe, but Germany specifically

germany is western europe

>GDP growth doesn't make you richer
im just like

stunned

and dont even know what to say

you don't need anything to say

do you like alternative economics or what

are regular economics alternative now

if gdp doesn't in general make country richer then it's like we're talking about maths and you're saying 1+1=3 it's ooh

what can I say

there is nothing to talk about becuase theres no foundation you can base anything on

what else you propose to measure economic performance
