PIGSS is the european version of "fly-over states", a derogatory term that should be avoided.
States or nations that are not doing has well economically deserve respect and help or we should stop calling ourselves a Union.
- barry-cotter 7y agoThis is ridiculous. Flyover states is about contempt for people and a culture, PIIGS is about poor economic and financial decision making. Germans, Danes and Czechs don’t think the Irish, Italians and Spanish are racists who might assault a trans person or an Indian if they see them whereas some Californians do think that way about Texas or Wyoming.
