“Trump has effectively pushed towards European co-operation which none of us had on our bingo cards,” said Adam Pickett, head of global macro strategy at Citigroup. “It’s a game-changer for interest rates going forward . . . the ECB might need to cut less.”

The prospect of faster Eurozone expansion is supporting the single currency just as a string of disappointing US economic data and growing fears over the impact of Trump’s erratic tariff policies have hit the dollar.

Let's hope that the movement really keeps on gaining momentum. I'm worried that we represent a small minority, and that ppl outside of reddit and lemmy aren't willing to actually switch to european;
I am also worried, because many people genuinely believe that Trump is the good guy who will cure the evil LGBTQ Ideology and that this will somehow benefit their lives (spoiler alert: it won't)
Also even ppl who know that they should do this might be unwilling, because of the simple fact that most of the non-US alternatives are worse (as of now) and have less users (as of now), and also 'cause laziness (and associated with it belief that the consequences won't reach them)
Well, I won't stop seeking alternatives and We should be doing everything we can (which includes explaining the cause to other people). Let's keep that in mind, because it is only an argument for being stronger, not for giving up
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
