@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social didn't think of the other smaller countries as basket case economies but maybe I was being kind and it was wishful thinking. I mean clearly not greece.. italy maybe if you cook the books a lot. Spain- no way. Benelux countries are probably modest but still in the black without using creative acccounting. Scandinavia as well, for the most part, dropping lower as you head east. Baltics, forget it. Eastern EUR. forget it.
