How would that prove me wrong when I've mentioned it before? The Greeks work longer because their economy is filled with more self-employed individuals than anyone else in the EU. Of those, more than three quarters are in TOURISM or hospitality, low-productivity jobs with longer but more...

Greek Pride.

I blame Nigel Farage. Just couldn't contain his raging hardon for eurogeddon and he just HAD to tweet some backhanded support for the Greeks. Some whitehouse staffers actually retweeted that shit and I'm sure it supported Obama's decision to lean on Merkel. An earlier Grexit would've made...

Yep, cthulhu egg.

I could critique where and how you're wrong, but then you'd just cry.

The 'crash' is more of a correction really. They're still ahead like 70% year-to-year. Their domestic market is ridiculously volatile at the best of times and it's gotten 100x worse since new regulations on capital flight made many retail investors play on their local market. Bear in mind...

Worse, I'm arguing for puerto rico.

Puerto Rico has 4.2% uncollected tax receipts according to the OECD. That's 0.4% more than the Germans sure, prolly because it's warmer and accounts for the latin need for afternoon naps, but at least it means the ricans pay their VAT taxes (IVU in Spanish) and it's roughly 76% better than the...

Oh they're prolly trying to go viral with it. Seems like it was produced for the web and they'd want to maximise reach. Rumor is the next season of Deutschland83 will be mostly in English for similar reasons (it's doing really well in UK and Sundance channel) but then it'll be based around...

Pretty sure that's a German video actually. If those were greeks they'd have been elected into their politburo by now.

We do that by expanding the markets for Raytheon and Lockheed Martin though. It's not the worst idea, really. The Greeksalready hate us more than the Pakistanisin Waziristan do, and THEY're currently the biggest 'end-users' of Northrop and Lockheed's products.

Just about everyone agrees that Greece should NOT have been in the euro, yeah. If they had kept he drachma, their tourism sector (a quarter of their total output) would've kept the rest of their domestic industry afloat---even if noone paid taxes. In fact, there was a paper a few years ago...

Well that's true but really it's more about how fundamentally unsound Greece is. You got all these guys blaming Austerity or Teutonic discipline or Capitalism---but all those things worked to lift the other PIIGS countries out of the recession. While Spain still has another 18+ months before...

I love how that rover was designed for a 90 day mission and its been running 11 years and counting. Spirit would still be running too if it had wipers on its solar cells.

No that's basically it. If Greece were in the U.S. They would've gotten fiscal transfers and federal subsidies like Alabama and Mississippi does all the time.

Wonder why THAT is.

Error my ass. How did you think a Cthulu egg orbiting the solar system waiting for the sign of an emerging spacefaring civilization to feed on would defend itself?

Oh I don't doubt it. The Greeks had been administered by the Ottomans for almost three centuries, after all. Though the Turks would've bailed them out if they'd been part of THEIR monetary union, haha.

Yeah I'm pretty much just playing PTR till the patch. If only because the 2000% legendary drop buff actually gives you a fair shot at trying all the builds.

LOL figures. It's the first thing anyone who steps outside the developed world notices: the fucking stray dogs. Whether it's a whorecation in Tijuana or your first deployment to the sandbox that's your first "Hey-we're-not-in-the-First-World-anymore" sign. It's hard to fake culturally...

A Japanese economist once told me his personal system to judge how orderly a given city is: STRAY DOGS. He felt humane stray dog management was a good metric of how a society accounts for itself when outsiders "weren't looking". I told him by that metric Dubai must be a shithole (because Dubai...

Oh there's still plenty of private banks well balls-deep into Greek bonds. Something like a quarter of their debt is still privately held. Direct state buys (much of it German LOL) are the bulk of their debt. The IMF is actually more exposed than the ECB and the Greeks defaulted to the IMF...

But then tourists would be missing out! Even in Chicago or New York or Austin, finding gaggles of hapless browns is the best way to find the best food and music and nightlife in town. What's true for tourists is even more true for investors. Just find those neighborhoods with simultaneously...

Just use google maps and enable the 'tourist-safe' options. It'll take longer to get anywhere but you'll never see more chick-fil-a's and paneras in your life.

So if browns don't bother me but commie poors do, then Athens WOULD feel more dangerous! They're starting toattack german news crewsthere now. It prolly doesn't help that they're one of the most anti-american countries in the world (in fact Greeks hate Americansmore than Pakistanisdo).

I'm up in Andersonville/Roger's Park and it's full of browns, but I can't remember the last time I've felt "in danger" in Chicago. I went to high-school in the south side and of course University of Chicago is all the way by Farrakhan's mosque and even back in the 80s/90s it wasn't "dangerous"...

LOL I live in Chicago. If you're careful and not take those parking spots with chairs/baskets/toys in it, you'll prolly only get shot at a couple times that winter.

Well the timer will say 8hrs but it's actually closer to 45mins most times. What most ppl do is get into the the chat communities and look for a slot in an existing game (bounties/rifts/etc) and get in that way.

Nah u can use the furnace mod on everything. The class specific weapon types are exclusive tho... So no flying dragon with my wd darts build.

Ive been playing on PTR quite a bit the last couple days. Mostly on my WD but also on my wiz and monk. The cube stuff is rad if only because it opens up the ring slots from perma-rorrg. Extracting the legendary powers really opens up a ton of new builds but I kinda wish theyd let you use them...

awesome.

Reuters has their central bank denying it.They also admit to running out of funds some time next week so its not like raiding anything is gonna make a difference.

Well I got into PTR and played my WD (was too afraid to get into another long ass queue to try another class). Got the cube and managed to melt some legendaries for their effects. Shit's awesome. I melted an SMK, RoRG and Carnevil and ran dagger darts+focus/restraint it was about as...

Don't get too excited, that's practically a statistical certainty. Ancestry.com said Germans were the largest ethnic group in Chicago since the City's founding. Never really looked into it, but I've no reason to doubt it. Judging by the north side and Lincoln Square I wouldn't be surprised...

Worse: I'm German-American. My family got kicked out of Prussia in the 1850's for being TOO German. We've been in Chicago ever since where we continue the proud German tradition of picking on hapless Greeks. I dunno why that is. I fucking LOVE moussaka. I put tzatziki sauce on my fries...

Well it's true. You linked a prominent tory eurosceptic saying the same thing. Before this we've seen sitting eurosceptic MEP's like Daniel Hannan pointing out irreconcilable flaws in the EMU with Greece as his specific example for close to a decade. It's no secret that the eurosceptics...

There is no growth or recovery model for Greece that isn't based on substantial write-downs or default. That's not my opinion; everyone from the the giddy eurosceptics awash in delicious schadenfreude to the hysterical marxists on the Guardian editorial junta agree with that. My opinion is...

You could be raising babies. And making nutritious meals for happy children. While pregnant. And barefoot.
