yeah it's like you get currency to "stabilize the markets" and "restore faith in the economy" and maybe some infrastructure projects that benefit resource extraction but you have to make your water distribution system for-profit

Was reminded of the IMF loan to Iceland during the 2008 recession, here is a Q and A on the circumstances of the loan. When the "problem" is caused by neo-liberalism there is a different tone.
"Bank supervision and regulation will also be overhauled to make sure a banking crisis of this magnitude never happens again."
"We are not telling Iceland to tighten its belt in the middle of a recession. During the first year of the program, automatic fiscal stabilizers will be allowed to work."
but also, more neo-liberalism down the line:
"The IMF will help Iceland restructure the banks within this broad framework. The strategy includes plans for valuation of the assets of both new and old banks in line with international best practice, compensation from the new banks to the old banks for any discrepancy in the fair value of assets and liabilities taken over, recapitalizing the new banks with the aim of eventually privatizing them, and maximizing asset recovery in the old banks."

That's a Futurama joke
today is the national day of Iceland, it is celebrated on the birthday of the most prominent leader of the nationalist independence movement, Jón Sigurðsson, who married his niece, as was the style of the time. He may also have died from syphilis.
It was a mistake to create "Israel", they should have given the Jews Schleswig-Holstein instead

It's very common to conflate post-communism 90's chaos with communism in general.
Hakim has been making videos about some of the countries, very informative.

a little recap, the IDF did a rescue operation where they brazenly broke the Geneva convention and managed to kill about 200 people to save 4 people who had been abducted/rescued by Hamas from a music festival where the IDF killed about 300 people
Hello !freeze-gamers
In the discussion of making a guild (which I hope is doing well) there was also the idea of having a designated global channel for the community for those who already have a guild.
I suggested global 1917, which is a significant date for the communist struggle.
It would be great to have fellow travellers to chat with.

A magma tunnel has formed under the town of Grindavík, near the site of recent eruptions in Iceland. The town has been evacuated.
Geologists can not predict with certainty what will happen but there are three scenarios:
It quiets down and there is no eruption unless something starts again. This is pretty unlikely after everything that has already happened.
There is an eruption inside the town limits. This would be bad for the inhabitants.
There is an eruption at sea. This could have big regional and global consequences since air travel needs ash free skies. Depends on the size of the eruption.
