Yes, but that I actually really like. They have always been pretty bold in colour already, but some of the new designs match that boldness. Some are unlike any notes I have ever seen which I just think is cool.
I love Weird Europe, some of these banknotes perfectly fit the bill (semi-pun).
Well, let's hope. It's time for them to feel some impact of their actions.
I am not well informed enough about their finances other than knowing they make a ridiculous amount of money (i.e. billions) on the backs of just about everyone.
Not sure I will ever understand why we didn't go all in right at the start, or at least at much greater speed. The cost of this slow walking, not just financial, is hard to imagine.
I mean, good we have a new watered down sanctions package I guess.
Good, but...
There have been many EU fines on tech that were reversed or significantly reduced after promises to do better. They never do better but will do worse.
When Trump or Rubio or whomever get inevitably involved the Commission will walk it back because they always do.
While €890 million may be a ridiculous amount of money it's also absolutely nothing for a company the size of Alphabet/Google. This does not significantly impact them in any way and as such is meaningless.
The clip of him saying that is apparently a decade old.
Problematic still but the context at that moment in time was wildly different, at least when it comes to general public perception and the politics around it. Not defending Israel in the slightest, to be clear.
Let's judge things for what they actually are.
Series F or G for me. F has hand drawn images which is incredibly unusual but I really love it (even more so in the time of AI). It just feels radical and unexpected. G feels both retro and current, more of a typical banknote but still a striking design.
The birds bore me and the institution buildings aren't the worst idea but there was a reason why we only had fictional architecture on the old notes and some of the buildings just aren't that exciting.
