"I am an urban dweller - now go back to feeding yer pigs"
Before capitalism and industry, the man who owned the food - and controlled the land to produce it on - was king.

Originally posted by AtW View PostB0ll0x - Russia in 1998 also had bonds issued in rubles rather than euros/USD yet it did not stop from defaulting and currency devalued 4 times in space of a month, if it wasn't for oil going up 10 times in the next 10 years it would still be in as bad financial situation as before: Greece does not have anything that can go in price so much to recover."A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It’s the s*** that happens while you’re waiting for moments that never come." -- Lester FreamonComment

Originally posted by AtW View PostIt's sunny in Sahara also. Greece does not make solar panels so they'd have to pay in hard currency for them, something that will be in very short supply after exiting euro zone. When I was in Corfu last year I was suprised to see very few solar panels in use.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Rather than take the pee out of the Greeks, perhaps we should watch very closely how they order their society when the machine finally stops, as it will.
If the house of cards falls, then all cards will fall with it.
I think that at the moment I would feel more in control of my own long-term destiny with a smallholding, a plough and a donkey in Greece, than I do on an urban council estate in England.Comment
