The subplots keep coming in Greece’s debt-relief turmoil. Now a new “unity” government. And soon a new prime minister. That proposed referendum is so yesterday. Speaking of, that act of democracy in action, had it not been a thinly-veiled leverage ruse, would likely have produced the same kind of result as the “No Tax for Tracks” crowd got here. The narrowly self-interested win another pyrrhic victory.
Put it this way: The Greeks need a paradigm shift for the economic ages. They need to be told: No, you can’t retire at 29, and, no, you can’t have an 18-hour work week.
It’s never a good sign when the country has less credibility than the musical.
