Czech-Out (Czexit)

Categories: International, Econ, Forex

Can't these people get a break?

Hitler invaded what was then a combined Czech Republic and Slovakia. They folded like an old Bible. The country re-emerged under Soviet control, more or less. Then it split into two parts, with the Czechs being sick and tired of funding Slovakian, um...slovenliness? Is that where that came from? Like...do the Slovakians not dress well enough for the western half of the country?

Anyway, the Czech Republic is now sick and tired of funding financially irresponsible countries in the EU ("hi, Greece, we're lookin' at you") and now is planning or noodling a Czechzit.

Great name. Bad situation.
