Germany's finance minister says Greece may have to invent a 'parallel currency'
    #21709505 - 05/22/15 08:08 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Just minutes ago, it was revealed that Greece was told by the German Finance Minister to issue a parallel currency because its stay in the Euro cannot continue.

This means that Greece will exit the European Union and likely run straight into BRICS nations whish would likely destabilize NATO and put the European Unions panties in a bunch

It's not the Germans fault they can't have their empire destroyed multiple times and come back out on top.


Greece have few, but noteworthy success stories

Lol at the Mississippi comment. I was thinking along the same lines.

But seriously. If the US can support Mississippi why can't Europe support a small country like Greece? Its an 11 million people country...

At least Mississippi has SOME shit going for it..

Greece has... Well... Uh... They uh...
I'm stumped. :shrug:

I'd say Greece is much more like Detroit than Mississippi. Rednecks from Mississippi ate smart enough to live off the land. Those fools in Detroit and Greece are drinking molotov cocktails and eating bullet casings.

I can't speak for Greece totally but comparing them to Detroit might be a bit much.

You know those dumbasses in Detroit don't pay their water bill for two years and then complain when it finally gets shut off. Please. If it were up to me I would have shut it off no more than 3 months into delinquency. Fuckin numb nutz...

We burn the whole fucking state South.

Then we claim Canada as our own to be further away from Mississippitroit.

What if Detroit was the size of Mississippi though.

What if Detroit, New Jersey, and Mississippi were all one place?

Oh dear God, who can save us now.

now is the time to buy 3 year greek bonds.
Germany isn't the whole EU, and politically speaking, they can't drop greece
no matter what the finances look like.  Mark my words, another bailout is coming.  If i had money, i would be buying so many greek bonds right now

It would have gone bankrupt years ago. The Greek economy has been almost entirely dependent on European funds for 20 years. The only thing that can help Greece at this point, it seems to me, is postponing the payment of debts and interest for at least 5 or 10 years, allowing the country to create something like an economy without having to deal with a huge and permanent outflux of capital that they don't have, but need to invest in economic reform. The alternative, i.e. having Greece pay back loans and interests as is currently the plan, is simply unbearable for the country. Either way, there's very little chance that Europe is going to see much of its money coming back from Greece and it's out of the question that they'll ever pay back the full amount.

They should default on the debt and start over with their own currency, the new currency will be dirt cheap and since tourism is one of the key aspects to the Greece economy they would be booming in no time.

Before you know it (5-10 years), the new currency would increase in value and life would go on, this idea of trying to payback the unpayable is beyond silly, debt slavery for the next 50-100 years, fuck that!!

If Greece is smart they do just that and mint silver and gold drachmes and default on all their debts.

It might well be best for the government to default but that is going to hurt a lot of people and I don't just mean central bank creditors.  How are they going to pay the pensions?  Who will trust their fiat currency?  Who will ever invest there again?  What about the money deposited by Greeks in Greek banks? Poof, gone. 

Buy Greek bonds because they are defaulting?  Are you guys nuts?  I wouldn't touch that socialist shithole with your dicks.  And cheapness may get them more tourism but tourism only goes so far.  Everybody will demand cash on the barrel for any imports.  They'll turn into Argentina, another socialist shithole that can't pay it's debts.  I don't really give a shit about them but you guys seem to and are not thinking this through.  Europe will be better off without them.  They will not be better off without Europe.

whatever the economics look like, the politics aren't right for the EU to cut greece loose.  What would spain, portugal, italy, bulgaria, etc. have to think if that happened?  no, despite brinksmanship, greece will get more bailout money.  If you can operate under that assumption, why wouldn't you want to buy greek bonds at crazy high interest rates that the germans are gonna pay off?  Argentina is an interesting example, but not wholly applicable, for the reasons i stated at the beginning of this post.

It won't be the EU that kicks Greece out.  It will be Greece leaving.  They have already proven themselves to be bums.  I wouldn't invest a farthing in that socialist shithole.  And they haven't learned a thing.  They are the idiot child of Europe.

Yeah, I am seriously unlearned on this topic, but it strikes me that the greeks have the arrogance that only ignorance can sustain and consequently will push this freakshow as far as it can go. I imagine the temptation is strong to externalize their troubles and claim if only they had more socialism they'd be fine.

Hopefully for the greeks they realize what's happening before they fuck themselves up even more.

Anyone know what the political climate is likely to be when reality finally imposes itself? Are we going to see fascists running things?

You are going to see riots.  The last election was a temper tantrum that they thought would get some more allowance and when they find out it won't work they will go apeshit.

Maybe Greece should get its shit together. Or the USA take it over I'd love a spot that I can take a train and fuck with europeans.

They won't, Greece is fucked financially and should have never been let in.  The EU should cut their losses.

The problem is that if you have bankrupted countries surrounding your terroritry, it makes investors less interested in you. You  can't tmake money off broke people.

For that reason, the  EU can't kick Greece out. It's better to control the problem than let it stray by itself in your neighborhood

I heard they have their top food scientists working day and night on a new recipe to combine feta cheese and olive oil that is going to turn the world upside down and turn Greece's frown upside down.

There are ways to take care of that but Mexico isn't bankrupt
