  1. Favorite songs are not always the most useful
  3. Athens is on fire.





  4. Looks horrific.
  5. I don't even want to think what will happen to that country now.


  6. Fuck that.

    But on another note, that third photo is amazing


  7. Well they were spoiled for too long. Did you know that dockworkers make 80 000 euros a year there? And most people stopped working before they were 60.

    In the end they screwed themselves. Still they should get more time to pay off their debts. But then without the euro, and in drachme instead.
  8. I think the Euro will be the main casualty of this crisis.

    Also people cheating with taxes... They've made their crisis themselves.

    I'm getting really fed up with those protesting, their country is in crisis, cuts have to be made.
  10. I don't think you're much able to fully understand it, Olof, because your country is immensely more healthy and prepared than Greece... It happens to me to, no offense intended, huh? But you have to realize that they have reached a point where most people don't have a work, and that means most people don't have money, so most people can't consume and therefore cuts and tax incresing achieves nothing, and then the government realizes their plans have been useless and announce new cuts, and then people protest because they're fed up with cuts, and more people lose their jobs, and less people has money, and then they don't consume, and taxes and cuts are useless again, and, and, and... You get it. Cuts, despite what most capitalist theoricalists say, are NOT the way to lift someone from bankrupt.
  11. +a lot
  12. Well the problem is that they were so incapable that they depend on other countries tax money to help them. While they enjoyed their luxory, tax cheating, lives. Of course its sad that they hit rock bottom. But that was needed since the real problem there is the mentality that tax avoidance is normal and that you cant ignore your problems and lie to other countries for a decade or two.

    They shouldve been kicked out when their problems became public, and have been given 50 years to pay ALL their debts back.
