    So, Americans of the JCC, what's your opinion on the politics of Bulgaria? Should Bulgaria adopt the Euro?

    If I ever plan to visit Bulgaria on a tour of Europe, Bulgaria needs to adopt the euro because I'm a lazy-ass who doesn't want to have to remember several exchange rates or bother exchanging money several times.

    But I don't plan to visit Bulgaria so I don't care.

    Sorry, I'm not allowed to have an opinion on Europe if it's not fawning.

    If I praise Britain enough do you think they'll offer me honorary citizenship?

    I want honorary French citizenship. Those damn socialists complain if they work more than 35 hours a week. And they get five weeks vacation a year. And the wine is good and cheap.

    I visited Poland after they joined the EU but before they adopted the Euro. It was great, and also cheap. I can only assume getting the Euro has screwed that up.

    It's part of it, but also because apparently because of the Swiss government's stubbornness, many of the Euro-using countries leveraged debt (and specifically mortgages) in Swiss francs as I understand it.

    It is frightening! Who knows a bunch of exchange rates off the top of their head?!

    And then he can do the mental math and figure out how much something cost in USD excedingly fast, where I just round up, that way it's actually cheaper than I expected. ;)
