Trap sprung. You know the austerity measures that are "strangling" Greece, Italy and Spain were facing the same scenario but they actually did the stuff, they didn't just pretend to and go back toi business as usual. Also Austria invented nazis you Tsapirasucker.

It's not really wind streams, it's how the oceans work. Nowhere in the Mediterranean is cold.

Citizens of greece: please vote OXI on the measures that aren't even on the table anymore due to the absolutely ridiculous behaviour of your clown president or whatever you call him. I am sure flinging feces in the collective faces of all those that have kept your failed state afloat for the past five years will "strengthen your position" for "further negotiations."

Yes the referendum is about an offer that is not even valid anymore. Bask in the glory of this stupidity.

You're wrong. They've hardly improved at all and in fact their long term prospects are poorer now than if they had told the austerity-fairy morons to go gently caress themselves.

Why can't lazy Greeks just quietly endure more austerity so we can bail out a bank equaling 1/3rd of our GDP without saying we had to pay for it? The Irish did it!:qq:

Greece wanted to raise taxes on the companies that actually make money in greece but the troika told them they can't do that and have to cut their apparantly "generous" pensions instead.

The greek minister of finances made an official statement saying nobody told them they wouldn't be able to pay off the loans they asked for, so they shouldn't have to pay anything cause they didn't know.

Well, we've introduced our new common currency, the lynchpin of our European integration effort. How do we make sure that this thing stays strong? Oh, I know, let's let in this country that isn't even in Europe and has no exports, and also where everyone retires with full benefits at age 30.

For reference, greek spending on it's pensions is 12% of GDP, less than austria and the UK and almost the same as germany. But this is "too much on pensions" apparantly. lol.
