They are defending against inflation...if the Euro is dropped and they go back to the Drachma...This. They'll never be able to purchase imported big ticket items like appliances with Drachmas. Buy 'em now while you can.

On the daily embarrassment of seeming to be an idiot, what is TP? I’m not that into prepping. I just collect some food staples and can lots of stuff.

A nation that is economically isolated can tool up to make TP a lot faster than it can to make a fridge.
They still have newspapers don't they? :^)

In all the economic crash I have observed there was never one that at some point food, clean water, utilities and basics were not either very hard or sometimes impossible to get.

Yes, booze. From reading Eleni, the story of a Greek woman caught between the Nazis and the Commies, aspirin must be important. That became a problem when her daughters were ill.

I think the press there is just as bad as the press here...
I have friends in Greece...they know what to buy and store.

Socialist, and even communist, governments have a vested interest in keeping the utilities turned on and flowing to the people. Unless they are insane like the NorKs, they also need to keep the people fed, their butts wiped, clothed, sheltered from the elements, and moving back forth to work. Maslov works in any type of economy.

Somebody should explain that to Venezuela's Maduro.

I like FerFal. I believe we will see hybrid outcomes somewhere between Selco and him.

That’s my point. It isn’t Mad Max or a return to the 16th century. Its just empty shelves and lines at first.

Latin America. Nuff Said. Europeans are more willing to work when the TP starts running out. Greece has not learned that lesson yet because, like every other socialist nation in the Eurocrapzone, they haven’t hit bottom yet.
