rather than showing that Italy is good

and here we are living on "Treasure Island"

Literally their name for us

4th biggest economy....werent they in a recession before the China Flu hit?

they had something like 60% youth unemployment in the Souf

maybe more

then add some Refugees

STILL 4th largest economy

🤦🏿

Germany is a machine

France does well too

but seriously

is that really a Union?

you spelled empire wrong

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 @Goblin_Slayer_Floki Italy is(or was) the only nation in the EU with a positive growth index, before taxes

<:kek:590371888480387073>

Which again says something about the eu

And that's before counting the mafia <:kek:590371888480387073>

> before taxes

So it didnt have one

^

Now do Greece's taxes

🤢

I still swear us Brits working there paid more taxes than the locals put together

we're professional tax payers

<:high_iq:382980759012638731>

In Greece Tax Evasion is a national sport

and the inspectors are all corrupt

you can pay them to be blind

and given all of the tiny islands

<:ohsargon:451135765368274954>

Athens can't police it all

When the inspector comes to the island they just shutter all the dodgy busineses

and he inspects the few legit ones

the shuttered businesses are perfectly obvious

but he doesn't do those ones cus they're shuttered

a good 80% of the island is shut down

if not more

just for that afternoon

then he fucks off back on the Ferry
