1. The documentary into their banking crisis is fantastic. The bankers came in and screwed them over and then got yeeted to fuck instead of embraced like we do here

2. Did Icelandic politicians and media convince it’s people they couldn’t possibly go it alone?

   Did they have People demanding to know every single detail about independence and harp on about currency?

   Did they try and convince Icelandic people that no one would trade with them, they would be forced to have a hard border with everyone and that they would be banished from every international organisation going?

   If they did it looks like they rightly ignored them all and just fucking went for it. Funny how things work out.
