Greece is screwed. The home country of Mt. Olympus is bankrupt and no spell conjured up by any naked God from atop the Acropolis will be able to save it. Normally, when a country cannot pay off it’s debts, the government can quietly print up a whole bunch of new money via a printing press (ie. out of thin air) to get the creditor pimps off their backs (that’s what the United States does). How cool would it be if we all had our own little, secret printing presses hidden in our closets? Credit card bills too high? Just print until you’re in the black. Want that $1.5 million dream house but you got no coin? Just run off 15,000 one hundred dollar bills. Got a Korean girlfriend? No problem at all! Just give her a mini printing press hidden inside a LV or Prada bag and 98% of all your future fights will instantly disappear. Unfortunately for Greece, the nation cannot print it’s way out of their financial mess like the United States because Greece’s currency, the Euro, is tied to 22 other European nations. Basically Greece doesn’t have the keys to the printing press and today, finds itself in a financial checkmate to it’s world creditors. Zeus is dying. No, actually, Zeus is dead but is being kept alive via an IV, life support, and Wheel Of Fortune reruns. Greece is pretty much laying in the coffin, just one nail short of stepping into it’s own mythology. What is this great Hellenic nation to do? Athena has an idea…
you mean I can OWN this?
