    New EU austerity measures force Belgium to make budget cuts of up to 30 billion in the next few years. What a time to be alive.

            They’ll tank the economy like they threatened with Greece. Worth it to escape their clutches, but only if there’s a plan for introducing socialism the next day. Otherwise it’d just be pain. There are probably vulture capitalists hoping for exactly that.

                I like this idea, though I thought that “Officially” and “Legally” the HQ was somewhere in France so once a month they hold a meeting in France so France does not throw a fit … That being said Belgium seems to have lots of negotiating power here

            That would be an epic funny. But unfortunately line must go up so I don’t think it’s going to happen in this society.
