Friendships end on the topic of money ... The problem is telling your people that you will have to help pay the debt of another country because of their own incompetence ... Voting people don't like that

Outside of slavery this was probably the biggest issue with the early federation of the US. It’s a hard pill to swallow and I don’t see anyone in the more affluent EU countries wanting to share debt.

Like the problem is that people compare it with their own expirience and be like "pff ... the other person got in debt themselves so it's their own fault and not my problem" ... the problem is that this mentality doesnt work on a country scale but people are so ignorant that they dont care and stop listening
