From the BBC:

Greek police have fired teargas at protesters outside parliament as MPs prepared to debate new austerity measures required for the EU and IMF bail-out package.

Demonstrators who broke off from a strike rally in Athens responded by throwing yoghurt and stones.

Yoghurt? That stuff is expensive. The protesters are so used to being fed for free that they consider yoghurt something to throw at the cops. Plenty more where that came from, they assume.

As may well assume genuine yoghurt (the one made with sheep and goat milk) is heavily subsidized in Greece. You can find that stuff for dirt cheap in shops all over Europe... blush

The European situation in a single episode.

The Regression theorem is a memetic equivalent of the Theory of Evolution. To say that the former precludes the free emergence of fiat currencies makes no more sense that to hold that the latter precludes the natural emergence of multicellular organisms.

i can't wait for 500 thousand person riots in the US and citizen arrests of bad judges.  Does anyone watch "Workaholics"?  There is an episode where they go on strike and they are sooo irrational about what they demand that they literally want the management to "SUCK OUR DICK!"  They say it over and over again like it is a legitimate request.  Guys and girls alike.  Absolutely hilarious.

 

So say it loud and say it proud, we're all keynesians now!

"SUCK OUR DICK!

SUCK OUR DICK!

SUCK OUR DICK!"
