Greek Tragedy ( Capitalism in crisis....again! )

[Edwardo Piet]

I much prefer the look of women anyway for I am a heterosexual male.

Pity I wouldn't be around to see such happenings though LOL.

Well whadda you know, 12 months on and despite massive opposition from ordinary Greeks, the first wave of austerity measures has come and gone, along with widespread cuts in jobs and services and all to no avail. The country is still in financial crisis and a second bailout is being sought from the fatcats of the eurozone and IMF. any second loan will mean a second wave of austerity measures with yet more cutsi n jobs and services and hugely unpopular privitisation programme.
Once again, ordinary Greeks see through the political rhetoric and are taking to the barricades to try and stop the capitalist juggernaut of destruction.
Progressives everywhere wish them well!

In my comparative government class, I learned that pretty much every single country that took out IMF loans went into the shitter and never recovered well. The countries that refused such loans also went into the shitter, but recovered significantly faster than the IMF loan takers.

Due to that, my teacher often referred to such measures as "The IMF Poison Pill".

It's better than the alternative, when a bank fell, we had a global economic crisis of 2008, if a country falls attached to 26 others of the biggest economic market on the planet what do you think will happen to the economy...

What was supposed to happen years and years ago -- total market failure.

You see, the markets have been abused and twisted with the lack of proper regulation and allowed abusive actions and entities to run free.

There is a cost to that, and after enough time has past, the whole deck of cards will fall down.

Are we being collective cowards by refusing to man up and recognize that unless we drastically restructure, total failure and restarting is the only option?

Anything else is just bandaids on a hull breach -- useless at best and insulting at worst.

As it stands, we cannot afford not taxing industry, not watching every move they take and scrutinizing it down to the letter.
