Greece: Life is a long jump from pussy to the grave
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Greece is facing a heating-oil crisis. With an economy that has contracted for five years and an unemployment rate at a record 25 percent, residents in northern Greece can’t heat their homes. Kastoria hasn’t received funds from the central government to warm schools and the mayor said he will close all 53 of them rather than let children freeze, a step already taken in a nearby town. Truckloads of wood are arriving from Bulgaria as families search for alternative fuels.

    Garbage has started mounting up on the streets of Athens and Thessaloniki as a deadlock between municipal workers and the government continues over the latter’s plans to place hundreds of state workers in a redundancy scheme and to introduce a new payroll structure that will see civil service salaries reduced.

    Check it our, folks. This guys are slightly ahead in their jump :-)

    The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating... ...and you finish off as an orgasm (c) GC

    it is time to go out from the euro - greece is usually never recover - at present, the only billion disappear in the bottom of the state and on black money accounts in Switzerland or Luxembourg

    the "state" Greece will not voluntarily go out of the euro - the people must fight it out

    Love this. Can you figure out a hack to make this happen. I'd be willing to donate to Paypal if you can make it happen.

    “We can make it next year if we can stick to the program agreed with the EU and IMF,” Stournaras said in an interview with the Financial Times published on Thuesday. “The break would be if the political system finds the situation too difficult to handle.”

    Stournaras stressed that the government now has to focus on implementing the structural reforms it has agreed with its lenders.

    He said the main goals next year are to crack down on tax evasion, meet privatization targets and improve conditions for investors.

    The finance minister sees the recession easing towards the end of next year and growth returning in 2014.

    “There will be a light showing by the end of next year,” he told the FT.

    “It is going to be a very difficult year . . . but if we continue on this track, reduce the budget deficit and also complete measures to improve competitiveness, 2014 and 2015 will be much easier.”

    Fire more people, sell more factories and infrastructure (and sell for just "printed" money). Smart thoughts. Must lead to prosperity. If at least one human pair could handle it and will survive. Scientists still counting zeroes after the period in probability estimation of such outcome.

    Would it help if the word was spread to buy more Greek products?
