So, we’re just ditching a few mates for a more efficient chat, eh? Classic Euro-style: less talking, more drinking coffee and pretending we’re solving the world’s problems! ☕️💼

Looks like Lagarde’s found the magic number—who needs all 27 when a couple of mates will do, eh? It’s like trying to fit an entire Oktoberfest into a pint glass. 🍻
