It is just something we, the children of those who fought, promised to our grand parents on their deathbed. Such things matters.

I think you may be forgetting the big picture, which is to never have Europe spawning a World War again. In that regard, the fears (rational and irrational) of those with tendencies for isolationism are simply not relevant.

Bulgaria has already pegged its currency (the lev) to the euro through a currency board since 1997. This means it already lacks independent monetary policy, and joining the euro wouldn’t significantly change that. The exchange rate is fixed, and inflation differentials are already impacting competitiveness.

Moreover, Bulgaria does not directly compete with Germany in the same product categories. Bulgaria is integrated into supply chains, often providing components or assembly work for German companies.

You are only 7M. I’ve got the feeling that it is just not large enough to significantly be distorted by eurozone monetary policy, at least in the way that might affect much larger economies.

That's terrible, I hope you're recovering to the best possible. Do you happen to know what was your blood pressure prior to the heart attack, and/or your apob level? At least you should have it checked now (I assume that's what have been prescribe by your doctors). It is my understanding that it is more statistically sound to point the cause of a heart attack at your age to genetic/epigenetic factors instead of a potential coronavirus infection with no symptoms.

Not really Fukushima, more likely Chernobyl and the disastrous handling of governments trying to hide things instead of taking action, explaining complexities and planning further education. That let a wide open hole for every naysayer for spraying and preaching political and scientific non-sense. Let it rot 20y without addressing the issue and you'll pick anyone on our streets today and be virtually assured that one's either totally afraid or fully ignorant of nuclear power.

> I can say something like ‘a tiger is just a lion with stripes’ to a 3 year old and they now ‘understand’ what a tiger is almost as well as if they saw a picture of one. They could definitely identify one from a picture now.

Assuming the 3 year old already knew what a lion looks like, and point at 'things with stripes' and 'things without stripes'.

I think that a model that can already recognize separately lions and stripes should be able to tag a tiger's picture as a 'Lion with stripes', no?
