Very good read, Malthus.

Don't worry, fellas. I'll just make something up and all will be well.

Heard from someone not on twitter: Tzatziki & Taramosalata running low in Athens. It's a double dip recession.

[AD]

Nice.

Shortages are hardly ever a sign of a recession.

Shortages are hardly ever a sign of a recession.

Unless is two consecutive quarters of a shortage of GDP growth

Greece isn't in a recession, Canada is in a recession.

Fellas, why is our media so adamant about convincing us that we should give a damn about this political crisis that is masquerading as an economic one?

[Dr_Chimera]

So who else is investing in gold?

[AD]

I've consistently had 5-10% of my stuff in gold.

[PredsFan77]

I like Gold so much I own a gold mine!

[MP]

I've consistently had 5-10% of my stuff in gold.

Do you have actual gold or paper gold?

[AD]

I have gold (not much - long story). I also have gold-backed paper gold.

Holy fuck, the IMF isn't participating in the bailout unless Greece gets debt relief.

TAARNBY, Denmark — Johnny Christensen, a stout and silver-whiskered retired bank employee, always thought of himself as sympathetic to people fleeing war and welcoming to immigrants. But after more than 36,000 mostly Muslim asylum seekers poured into Denmark over the past two years, Mr. Christensen, 65, said, “I’ve become a racist.”

Austria, the bulwark against fascism.

[PredsFan77]

as austria goes, so goes the rest of europe.

Average frenchman thought 31% of the french population was muslim (actual number is 7.something) and that that would grow to 40% by 2020 (real estimate is 8.something).

Dutch PM Rutte: 'If you don't like it here, then leave'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38718286

This is from the liberal PM, trying to fend off the advances of the far right.

What if Trump is a mild mannered moderate in the face of what's to come?

People really don't seem to take too kindly to your kind, banana. You really need to work on your people skills or something.

I think the natural reaction is just for us to become more hateful of the West and more violent. It seems like the logical course of action.

When you say "us" are you speaking for Arabs, Francophones, or lawyers?

I represent the Jaish Al Mohamiyoun al Frangi.

It's a niche terrorist group.

[Germz]

Well at least when Wilders becomes PM we can stop pretending that the Dutch aren't the most racist people in Europe.










(ok maybe 2nd most after the Swiss)

(and I actually like Holland, been there multiple times)

(probably because I'm a racist)

(the Swiss by contrast are terrible people)

(obviously Russia doesn't count as Europe)

[Dog]

You "forgot" to mention the Hungarians.

Racist.

French journalist roughed up and forcefully removed after asking Lepen question relating to fake employment of staff (same as what's affecting Fillion):

Dutch lesson in how to defeat far-right xenophobic populist parties: get the center and center-right to adopt some of the far-right's xenophobic populist rhetoric.

ISIS attack on the Champs-Élysées right before the election. I wonder if it'll have a Madrid bombing election effect. Russian false flags FTW.

[TittiesNBeer]

Apparently the attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus was not ISIS related (even though there were notes at the scene claiming ISIS influence), the suspect actually was trying to manipulate the team's value on the stock market. He took a heavy short position before carrying out the attack, and hoped to make millions doing it.

[PredsFan77]

Genius, really.
