Greeks pulled their cash out of the banks and stocked up with food

From UrbanSurvival.com..
..."My parents were in Greece for 2.5 weeks for my grandfather’s 1-year memorial.
To get to the village, they landed in Athens and drove north west across the center of Greece to the town of Lefkada, also the name of the island. From there they drove to the town of Nydri and took a ferry to the island of Meganisi.
Dad said the people in Athens are hungry looking. The traffic at the international airport was basically non-existent. In his own words, you could roll a bowling ball down the middle of the concourse and not hit anyone.
The commercial districts of Lefkas and Nidri were dead. People are digging through trash cans to find food. A cousin of his has had his salary cut from 1500 euros/ month to 800 euros per month. ..."

Odd how the MSM can't seem to 'get' this story...
