Maybe we shouldn't have a private banking system if it is constantly on government life support and needing immediate bailouts lest the entire economy immolate?

This dumb American just assumed a country solidly in Western Europe surrounded by EU members was part of it. Shows what I know. I guess they take their neutrality (or hiding certain things from the ‘40s) pretty serious.

Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Romania. Maybe Bulgaria too. All except the Danes have a legal requirement to join the Eurozone eventually. Well, and the Swiss, because they aren't even in the EU because the Swiss are obsessed with their neutrality.

Perfect, thanks. So that means neither Biden or Reade has any credibility issues in this specific context, of raping or being raped (since their past lying has occurred in other, irrelevant contexts).

So then the question that still needs answering is: why should we err on the side of believing Reade?

Just about the only reason I can think of is "believe all women", and it is worth noting that "believe all women" does not mean that anyone accused of raping someone immediately goes to jail for 20 years or whatever. It simply means accusers should be taken seriously and their accusations investigated, rather than dismissed immediately. And the media has done quite extensive investigating over the past three months. The problem is that what they found (or rather, have not found) has made the NoJoe crowd extremely angry, and now anyone who dares to doubt Reade is labeled a rape apologist, because you see, Biden is absolutely a rapist, and the real problem is that our standards of evidence for proving guilt are simply too high, and we should just lower them when it comes to rape on the basis that coming forward as a rape victim is really hard.
