Greece is burning, again, and quite literally, as the wave of government-addicted zombies hit the streets in protests, because Greece’s creditors want the country to, in a nutshell, be fiscally responsible. Well, to at least make an effort.
After a wave of defections from his cabinet, and as protests turned violent in Athens amid a general strike, Mr. [Lucas] Papademos told lawmakers that they must approve new austerity measures demanded by Greece’s creditors — including a 22 percent cut in the benchmark minimum wage and public-sector layoffs — or the country would suffer a disorderly default with social dislocation and would eventually leave the euro zone.
The irresponsible response?
Violence has broken out again, with hooded youths throwing stones and police firing grenades in Syntagma square,” Business Insider’s Simone Foxman reported earlier this morning.
The protests, of course, have been organized by unions unhappy with the announcement that public sector jobs will get the ax.
God forbid they go and get a private-sector job where you actually have to work like a normal, competent human being. These Greece-balls have been living in a country that actually believes in a state-run utopian society.
Sorry folks, it doesn’t exist.
