Just using the Euro would be a great improvement since it's not based on a single country's economy.

Indeed, I'd like to see my country, Australia, join the EU and trade the pacific peso in for the Euro. What a grand experiment!

You lads are already competing in the Eurovision Song Contest. So why not go all in and join the EU as well.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I wouldn't base it on those rules considering Israel is also in Eurovision.

[-] YesMassa@lemmings.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Doubt they want to join. Because then they have to recognize the ICC

[-] jaek@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago

Like it tracks, because they are European. But I'm not happy about it.

Israel is in Asia, Israelis are european

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Israelis are from all over the place. Aside from all of the Arab people (including people who would have once been considered Jewish Arabs), there are a significant number of Africans in Israel.

Now it's true that the government is dominated by people of European ancestry, but that's not the same thing.

It would be best if there were a global union of nations, maybe one with the authority to oversee and manage global trade, as well.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago

We can barely get the EU to point in the same direction, good luck with that. Would be great though.

[-] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, it doesn't seem likely.
