Baisé

The euro is trading above 1.6 dollars. Semi-regularly. In fact, it hit an all-time high yesterday. Happy (belated) Bastille Day.

In consoling news for Americans however, even foreigners can't afford to live abroad necessarily. Food costs were rising five percent per month for a bit and while we may be Europe's "bargain bin" as per Slate and this post, this is still only for those who aren't subsisting thanks mostly to price-controlled bread.
