Athens supermarket, this weekend.
Looks like Greeks are repudiating those debts and going the way of Argentina.
I guess the village with over half “legally blind” and another with 70% “disability” checks are going to really have to get off their asses and work for a living. Greeks produce nothing and are a 3rd world country supported by the hard working members of the EU.
They have no idea what they are voting for (unlike US voters) LOL.
Heck no we aren't giving up our cushy perks (like retirement around age 53)...
Heck no we aren't going to pay for those perks...
Heck no, we don't want to keep our promises for the last 10 loans from Germany and others to keep this system going...
So what else ya got?
FIX IT for us, dagnabbit!!!!
Sooo.... the banks will reopen never?
It’ll be interesting to see if the EU follows through with the boot, or if they cave.
I keep reading about how Greece borrowed too much and without a visible means of repayment.
First and foremost, if Greece borrowed too much then there were lenders who lent her too much. It is a two-sided affair, and usually lenders are more careful and want some security assets.
Second, Greece has assets (if only Mediterranean islands and shorelines that some countries would like to obtain... it does’t take much imagination to figure this one out..)
We could see some very interesting ‘bailout’ deals...
The Greeks also voted for everyone in Thailand to give Greece their money.
Opa! Opa! Opa!
it was sort of a spineless move by their socialist president to submit the entire question to a plebiscite.
July 5, 2015 Greek Independence Day. CONGRATULATIONS!
Greek guy borrowed money and bought a limousine. When it came time for payment he declared he does not have any money and won’t pay. He then demanded that the bank must give him money for gas and recreational expenses as he had a family vote and his family democratically decided that. Noting of course that their democracy is 3000 years old.
Just wondering - how do you get a 61-38 result when recent polls showed the vote to be “too close to call”?

The opinion poll by the respected ALCO institute, published in the Ethnos newspaper on Friday, put the "Yes"camp on 44.8% against 43.4% for the No" vote.They could have rolled dice to get idea of the outcome.
