While interesting, that chart doesn't necessarily address Poles, Latvians, years of service, retirement age, or retirement benefits."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

The Germans certainly do, it must be infuriating to them to see Greece begrudgingly increase the retirement age from 58 to 61 as part of "austerity measures" when the germans work until 67. And with all of the credits, you can retire at 45 in Greece no matter what the official retirement age is.Originally posted by ERCougar View Post
I'm not blaming the Greeks solely; they've tried. But no decent solution will avoid a hit to the pensions.
Let the Greeks flirt with Putin; they've got to be crazy to consider any kind of anything with him. And if they pursue it, they deserve everything Putin does to them.Last edited by Katy Lied; 07-04-2015, 08:14 PM.Comment

The mood in Greece right now is definitely surly towards Europe. With England on its way out of the EU, several people I have spoken to want Greece to be next. It definitely hasn't improved in any discernible way to me over the past couple of years. The same garbage-strewn vacant lots are still garbage-strewn. The broken facilities on the campus where I teach are still broken.
Time to start watching this again."More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."
