The Joker by Livia Necasova

Euros accepted in the United States?What the hell is that supposed to mean? Euro is a currency used in Eurozone,which consist of the European Union member countries who adopted the euro.Since when is America a European country?So how is it possible that there are signs all over the New York City,soon to be within whole United States,saying "euros accepted"?Who allowed them to hang out signs like that?Is it even legal?? I can remember how the Mr.President and the whole United States were lauging at us,thinking that the new monetary union is not gonna work out. Now,its my time to laugh.Now we `re the king.We have drawn the Joker. I didn't miss that the US Dollar is surprisingly weaker and weaker everyday,but hey,its not our fault. Currently is 1 EUR approximately 15 USD.Well,no wonder that Europeans are flowing to New York by that exchange rate. I`ve been to US myself and I know how much u can buy for 15 dollars.A pack of cigarettes,one beer,some ice cream and some nice T-shirt.How much can u buy for 1 euro?well lets see what u get for one euro.You get next to nothing.You can buy a bottle of water,or a newspaper.Its not even enough for a single way subway ticket. So why not getting on the on the plane to New York for a weekend,or a week-to experience some culture,have a nice dinner,few drinks in Manhattan,to shop from 8 in the morning till 8 in the evening and all that for the half-price.Cause Europe is so expensive after all.
