I'm shocked they couldn't find a real picture of people smiling about this

That's 2 days and 12 more hours than is acceptable.

Hey France sounds like the Greeks need to borrow some guillotines.

WWIII should just be the 0.1% vs everyone else. This isn't an issue with borders.

IMHO it won't be like a world war. The last time something like that happened was monarchs gradually giving way to representatives.

Capitalism is extremely wasteful, filled with bullshit jobs, so a well organized democracy could do much better. We'll out-compete them.

How is there not more protesting about this? Greeks used to be really good at that.

I don't see them doing much more than what they would do on an off day

Yeah that would be a sure way of bringing me to not work at all. What bs.

Still better than the 5day 50hr work week I'm burdened with in the US atm.

Employment, a paycheck, and feeding their family

It's a prisoner's dilemma
