Greek Financial Crisis

[daylightrobber]

That unfortunately is conspiracy mongering of the worst order. Genuinely if you believe the narrative that the worlds banks drove themselves to the edge of bankruptcy so Goldman could make a profit, there is no hope. The funny thing is, if you were to look at the equivalent tale of the big bad banks from the mid-2000's, it would all be Lehmans and Bear Stearns as well, both of which vanished utterly in the crash, along with Morgan which lost its independence. This sort of nonsense means nothing and helps no-one.

Funny how in all these crises, the banks seem to be more than a little irresponsible, yet at the same time benefit from the misery of the millions who are forced to pay the price for their antics.

Coincidences, that's all they are. A few rogue traders, some stupidity, a dash of criminality, gambling and the same people lose because it's always the same people who win

It sounds all Greek to me, but now they should be helped to set up the Drachma, and banking system helped to get the economy moving!

Now we are getting to the root of the issue, i.e. the banks. Not the EU and the euro.

People on here couldn't care less about the people who will lose everything on a move back to the Drachma, as long as the greek government sticks it to the troika certain people couldn't care less about the people on the ground...

I've lost 10% of my income since the present Greek government came to power because of the destabilizing effect their attitude has had on the € v other currencies. I'm bracing myself for another similar cut over the coming months because of today's referendum result. There are winners and losers in every scenario.

Because they love this instability and virtual anarchy. There are some definite anarchists on this forum.

They thrive on this.

Fact is this uncertainty and the ability of one country to not fulfil it's treaty obligations is no good for anyone.

The anarchists don't care.

They just want to see everything burn.

The Euro was doomed from the start. It's on borrowed time, imo.

Some of the poorest and richest countries in Europe, all sharing the same currency and each with independent governments and policies. Doomed. Daft idea.

It's having an impact on my business too. Potentially.

60% of revenue is from Europe in Euros.

The other 20% UK and 20% Row.

These clowns here don't understand what's going on in the real world.

To those who celebrated yesterday:

@davek @magicjuan @edge @chicoazul

Well in. You're on the same side and delusion as Nigel Farage:


UK eurosceptic party leader Nigel Farage welcomed the result. He tweeted: "EU project is now dying. It's fantastic to see the courage of the Greek people in the face of political and economic bullying from Brussels.

Or alternatively, you don't understand what's going on in the 'real World'.
Try not to be so insulting.
