This may save you some time. There is none, despite a few studies.
I lived in Greece. It is a awesome place to chill. But it is a god awful place to get anything done at all. Seriously you don't have to be in the country long to understand why they have the problems they do. And changing the paper won't fix that.
This is not the first time they did this. In fact it has quite an interesting history in cryptography that was classified as a munition for just this reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
But out of those making prostitution illegal is the stupidest of the lot.
Situation 1, i go to a bar, find a girl that wants nice things for a night and puts out for it.
Situation 2, Some girl wants extra cash and finds a porn movie studio, gets paid for sex.
Situation 3, someone you don't find too objectionable offers X dollars for a shag, and you aggree.
Why would anyone think that 3 is soo different from the rest? What is gained by making it illegal.
Because they just don't get it. They still think it is "their" internet.
But really i don't get the big deal anyway. It is not like its that hard to make a gun with a half decent set of tools anyway. But why bother when you get just go to the store to get one. Or if its commit a crime, pay slightly more for a "reported stolen" gun.
The reason is that it would cost the EU less to get greece back on its feet, and less political headaches. And its small potatoes compared to the whole the EU. California has a larger % of dept compared to GDP for the US for example.
Fact is that if Greece does leave the euro, Greece will be in even worse shape very fast.
I think most of the reputation of Switzerland comes from the "numbered" accounts in *movies*. As someone living here now, and with such an account, i assure you that it is nothing like the movies. In most of Swiss history they comply with standard international laws and would hand over details with proper warrants etc. Oh yea and a numbered account still has a name. They really won't just take a suitcase of money and give you an account.
Recently however they are now required to report US citizen account balances to the US. Some banks don't like that and make it very hard to open an account if you are a US citizen. They have been forced to do this via these banks having a US presence. Mostly wall st.
To be fair the US debt stats are not bad at all. Its a lot of zeros but you are a massive economy. Slightly bigger than the whole Eurozone. What is odd with dept in the US is how congress stalls every time the ceiling needs to be raised. Outside silly laws like you can't be guilty of insider trading if your a politician, or even stupid rules over hedge funds and The crapola that lead to 2008 financial "issues". US is fairly fiscally responsible on the books.
It is just you don't seem to get much for the money.
0 of a lot or 0 of a little is still 0. Taxes are high because greece has a culture of just never paying them. The norm is under the table stuff and all that it implies.
but the only reason for that is because Greece's worker productivity is so terrible and tax collection so pathetically low. Mind you, it's not the fault of Greek workers that productivity levels are low - you work more hours per week than most of Europe
First of all i am not sure i even believe that they work more hours. Perhaps they have an honesty system on reporting hours. Cus you don't have to live in greece for long to understand why Greek worker productivity is so low. They don't work. Period. Long unscheduled breaks. Mucking around. Awful workmanship. If its not food, they just do a sloppy half arsed job of everything. If it not really all that surprising. After all they don't pay taxes either. Well most don't pay honest tax at all. They are basically all corrupt in the way they do just about anything. Rules and laws are for tourists.
If it was the drachma right now, you would need everything you ever earned in your entire life, just for a can of beans. They only reason you have a non failing currency is because it is the Euro.
So hyperinflation would fix things? The thing is that being in the Euro is the only thing that kept Greece going this long. People don't even pay tax for gods sake. They think roads literally pave themselves. Hyperinflation or at least high inflation (25% per year or more) would have happened years ago as the government would have been forced to increase money supply or go bankrupt. Increasing taxes doesn't work when no one pays tax. So you can't even have a fiscally responsible government.

Organic crops use pesticide and herbicide. How do you think its not covered in fungus and worms? Because they asked nice?
Organic is the current bullshit that has all the truthiness of homeopathy for rich city people.
Your not going to be allowed to use it in volume outside a tank farm if its flammable. Fire is something you don't intend to happen but does anyway.
You laugh, but it has been done before. And they have gotten into trouble for stealing electricity.
again the cheaper and safer option. Just buy a gun. They are easy to get hold of. And pretty cheap really.

Isn't that what i said?
I am currently living in Switzerland. Previously i was in Austria. There you don't even need a licence for many rifles.
You realize that in *most* countries prostitution is legal or getting legalized right?

The drachma would be in hyperinflation right now. And they way things are going, you will get the proof soon enough if they really do drop the euro.
If greece prints its own currency. It will lose a lot more than 33% over the next year or three.
0 of a lot or 0 of a little is still 0. Taxes are high because greece has a culture of just never paying them. The norm is under the table stuff and all that it implies.
Don't expect an AC that didn't even so much as bother googling to read a reply :D

Wait so all that tax that almost no citizen in Greece pays.. Who "owes" what to whom?
