Why a coffee gossip?
Everyone talks about free speech or freedom of speech, especially where there are hardly any restrictions. And freedom of expression is also considered desirable by very, very many people. Currently tried among other things Elon Musk to transform Twitter into what he believes to be the ultimate freedom tool; (almost) all of us will be able to see if he succeeds.
I try it here one size smaller and now offer this forum, so that you can talk about everything. And this is similar to a coffee gossip, which should not be confused with the well-known small talk at parties. But you could also exchange views on whether and why this is something completely different.
Addition: Inflation is stronger than before the euro?
No. The euro has been around for 25 years. On average, the Eurosystem (ECB + national central banks) achieved the inflation target significantly better between 1999 and 2020 than was the case before. The phase of current inflation as a result of the Corona crisis and the supply bottlenecks and the energy crisis has driven up prices worldwide in 2021 and 2022. Inflation has been falling continuously since the end of 2022 and is approaching 2% again.
In addition, the common currency has given Europe stability in various crises.
The common currency supports the domestic market and has helped Germany achieve strong export performance.
Thank you, I have posted your post in the relevant forum. I would also be happy to unlock you for the forum, so you can also actively participate there.
I would like to add to the minutes of the “Europe Now!” discussion group that we participants also debated how “natural” Europe has become, especially for us younger people. Many of us don't know any different. Travel without borders, pay in euros, no customs fees when shopping online, we hardly know any other way. It is important to demonstrate these freedoms in order to arouse interest in Europe.
Likewise, the majority of the group agreed that we are not afraid, but rather feel concern and uncertainty when we observe current developments.
Dear Semin, this addition actually belongs as an answer under the post: https://kuemmerle.name/foren/topic/protokolle-7-hertensteiner-gespraeche#postid-291 by Walther Heipertz. You can find this option as “Answers” immediately to the right below each forum post.
The good thing about it is that everyone involved in the post will then receive a reference to your corresponding answer.
This comment function here is intended for the 'general' of the forum.
Would be a topic for the next round on January 18.1.2023th, XNUMX, right? It's no good if we fill it up alone 😉
As we were able to determine, the half-life of such rounds is not sufficient to fill a forum even remotely. Where non-binding has become a principle, you really have to think about completely new communication channels.

My German is rusty, but someone has described my personal site not just as dangerous, but *VERY* dangerous! 😊
