      Nice piece about how the Greeks need to stop whinging and pretending they are victims.
      summary of dinner's article: the irish took it up the arse for international capital with barely a whimper, so should the greeks.

      • it's been a while i've read since such a lightweight and superficial analysis of the greek situation and that's really saying something. it's no wonder that dinner lapped it up.

          China is being rapidly urbanized, with the ensuing decrease of quality of life witnessed in the western industrial revolution. Also, it is only a matter of time before China hits a depression which will cause massive misery despite higher aggregate production.
          By what measure is quality of life getting worse in China?

            They should actually make it worthwhile to hire Greeks so that there is a reason to employ them.

            • Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia have tried to get the EU to face facts. They urge the EU to prepare plans for a Greek exit. Greeks now give Euclid a turn. Perhaps Varoufakis has pissed off too many people.

              • The markets seem to be assuming the ECB still won't find their balls.

                • It appears Paiktis is destined for more disappointment.

                      Basically what they are saying is that Syriza is doing more austerity than before. They give one talk to the masses but what they actually do is a continuation of the previous policies.

                      That's not true.

                      Under the previous gov, taxes would have increased (they are scrapped), salaries fallen further, there are plans for increasing, first domicile would be confiscated, it is totally protected etc etc


                      Of course, the "EU" might not like it, it will be destroyed then.

                      • What is the difference between increasing taxes but not collecting them vs. not increasing taxes?
                        What is the difference between protecting home ownership vs. never seizing them in the first place?
                        Let me know when salaries are actually increased.

                        • They have already.
                          Property tax scrapped = overall income increased.

                          The "formal" increase of wages will be done in a horizon of about 6 months?
                          Something like that.

                          The other things are idiotic yet again. I'm bored of repeating myself.
