President Vladimir Putin’s economic adviser rebuked the central bank on Monday as the rouble slid past 101 per U.S. dollar, blaming its 30% year-to-date slump on loose monetary policy and revealing growing discord among Russia’s monetary authorities.

    The “funny” thing is that we could be mean to poor brown people before as most of them aren’t from the EU. Although, now there’s talk about leaving the European human rights agreement so we can be really mean to them.

    (It’s not really funny)

          I’m an American, we used to look up to the British and we understood why they thought of us as uncultured, unsophisticated backwoods rubes.

          We don’t have that perception anymore… :)

            Careful now, my tea-philistine-friend, or else I shall taunt you about your orange fellow.

            Ah, who am I kidding, our respective states are just two pigs wallowing in shit.

              Oh no, I know we’re waving our dangly bits in a large greenhouse with excellent access to a large rock field.

              But like, we had so less far to fall :/
