Like I said, Greece is like that relative of yours that's always broke and needing a loan. And when you ask him/her what they did with the last $1K you gave them they get all defensive and say stop trying to run my life!!.
Fuck 'em.

Your deadbeat relative doesn't want to work, either. You only see them when they need money. Funnily enough your deadbeat relative is always wearing new duds and going on vacations but really HATES IT when you criticized their spending habits.

So what? High interest rate, awesome!
The corrupt Greek govt didn't care as long as they got their bribe and cut.
People want to teach Greece a lesson, but reality is Greece really can't afford to pay the loans.
Consigning generations to poverty under the loans isn't an option -- and anyway they tried that route, it just tripled their unemployment rate.

Lehman Brothers on steroids and meth. Without enough money available to conduct a TARP style rescue. What could go wrong?
Presumably the board at Deutsche Bank got the inside word a few weeks ago that the Eurocrats really were prepared this time to let the Greeks go, and hence unwound some of the worst exposed positions on their trading book. Still, life could get very interesting on the bourses.

order for 72 Eurofighter Typhoons because they could not afford both."
They actually nearly got the Typhoons. Since the Eurofighter consortium is basically just an overstuffed EU jobs program, there were lobbyists crawling all over Brussels trying to weasel out yet another dubious loan for Athens to let them buy the jets.
Ultimately what seemed to put the kibosh on that was that someone suggested if there were a Grexit, the Greeks would then immediately sell the Typhoons, free of export control stipulations, to unknown third parties of whom the oversight committee at Eurofighter might not approve.
Also, Lockheed Martin, long after it was clear that this was a total fever dream, were still aggresively touting that they had the Greeks signed on the dotted line to buy eighty F-35 jets, to make the program production numbers look better. Oops. Guess that's not happening either.

No, if Russia rolls west in strength its going to take a lot of American blood to stop it. And we don't have the stomach for that any more.

Alternately, you could learn how to make your own booze and get the bare essentials you'd need. A quick bing search shows that vodka is pretty easy to make and you just need potatoes.
Of course it depends on your goals.

Tanks in todays' fight without air superiority are just nice targets for the ATR algos. The Russian tanks would survive longer without those nice flat fields, some nasty dense forest would help. The Poles have been buying every current generation anti-tank missile they can get shipped.
Plus, this isn't the old Red Army. They don't have the depth either.

Find a good conservative woman/man and have 20 kids and do your best to make sure they all vote conservative by raising them the right way. Let the liberals abort their children while we replenish the voting block. Sounds fucked up, right? That is because it is, but it is our only chance.

Your coreligionists are systematically destroying ancient relics throughout the world, as they have done since your religion was created
Soon, the only way to see the relics of the Levant will be the ones that were saved by being in the British Museum.
So, with all due respect, nothing will be returned until your coreligionists stop throwing gays off buildings, cutting off the clitorises of children, raping nine year olds, and blowing up ancient ruins
In short.
Go
Fuck
Yourself

always have weird dreams. last night, was hanging with wife and kid on an overgrown overpass looking out on a small lake. lots of others around, family outings. wife goes off to do whatever.
looking at the sky, a section fills with wispy black smoke and begins falling to the lake. it settles atop the lake like a low fog and figures start to form within it.
ever seen The Fog? something like that. except they were still wispy black smoke, and armored and carrying swords. anyway, grabbed the kid and ran to get wife, then woke up.

The goal is the same: to destroy wealth while stealing as much as possible. Or vice-versa. It doesn't really matter when the system becomes overloaded, ala Cloward-Piven. That unholy pair only focused on one area of government back then.
Today, they have the financial levers of the world's largest organized institution, comprised of 18M people with the full force of thousands of pages of indecipherable law behind them, which is about the size of a big state like, oh, Florida.

The fact that a bunch of royal wannabes got to make playthings of the population was just an added bonus. But attacking US hegemony and the dollar was the real motivation behind the EU and euro.
That's what we got for saving their pathetic asses in WWII. We should have learned after WWI that Europe wasn't worth saving.

Yep. The Frogs drove the EU bus. Their idea was that the Krauts would supply the money and economic muscle, while they supplied the leadership. It was a great way to hitch their sorry asses to the German economy, to stick it to the US hegemon (as they see it), to keep the Germans onside, and to give themselves pride of place on the world stage.

I might be wrong, but I don't think the size of the economy is relevant; it's the principle of a state withdrawing/getting kicked out of the EU. Specifically whether that can happen, and if it happens, how it takes place, and how that state settles up with the rest of the EU, how it re-establishes its own currency, and at what exchange rate, because precedents will be set no matter what happens.
It'd be kind of like Rhode Island seceding from the Union. Economically trivial, but politically and philosophically momentous.

He did say that the one good thing about the Euro was that it took the printing rights away from individual countries, like Spain, that habitually printed more to make up for budget shortfalls. This has clearly come to an end.
Now, having said that, is anyone aware that the various European national banks have been buying up old coins for the last 10 years or so? Especially Germany and France. I was confused by this and had someone suggest that new bills are fairly easy to print: but coining is harder.
I expect the various countries will go back to their own currency, at whatever discount on the Euro they feel like, and that will be that. Sucks to be Cypress and Slovakia.
I expect there will be a major shakedown no matter what, and any financial organization that holds Euros and Euro backed bonds is going to have to hope that someone is willing to take their paper.
The serious question is how the end of the Euro is going to hit the EU.
What is the interest in keeping a union together if the member states are now playing "trial seperation".
Of course, they might just throw Greece out like a voted out member in Survivor, and blame all the losses and bad economies on that state, as their own personal Snowball, but I wonder how well that will last.

They say this weakens the euro (Grexit), but maybe it's like pulling a bad tooth ... health gets better. And the euro hasn't been "printing" like US, but maybe they start if things don't get better.
Hard to say where all the leverage may be ... markets looking like they could roll over for the last year, this might push them.
This could just be last minute brinksmanship, but some authorities seem to think it is too late, no "ah shucks I was kidding" promise would be credit worthy at this point.

Britain never adopted the Euro, so pounds sterling still exist, but I don't think francs do. But I think your question cuts to the heart of the matter: will Euros still be accepted as a currency, or will everyone be trying to get rid of them?

One of my peeves with the MSM is that they always frame exchange rate movements in a simplistic (and usually Cassandra-like) fashion.
Exchange rate down? Oh noes, our currency is weak. We can't have a pussy currency! Think of how much all the chi-chi locations in Europe will cost vacationers!
Exchange rate up? Oh noes, that'll hammer our exports! We need a weaker currency!
In either case, they fail to mention the other side of an exchange rate movement. Some people will benefit, others will suffer.

When the adopted the Euro in Germany (I am told by people who were there) your money in your bank account magically turned from Marks into Euros overnight at the rate of, I think, 2:1. Any money under the mattress had to be turned in, I think at the same rate, with a specific date that it had to be turned in.
After that the coins were bought back at a severe discount.
I suspect something like that will happen in reverse. If some of the Eurozone stays on the Euro, that would be a way of liquidating the debt by the country rejecting the Euro and put the final nail in the Euro based economy:
Country A goes of the Euro for the traditional currency (the Ecu or the Thaller say), they make the citizens trade all the Euros in banks at some ratio, and promise to convert currency at a fixed rate for two weeks, after that they will treat it as a foreign conversion and charge a fee.
At this point, all transactions in the country are done in the local currency, and depending on market regulation, the currency stabilizes - with or without a black market (see Argentina's Blue dollar)
If they do it right, the central bank now has a bunch of Euro currency baled up, ready to ship out by the truckloads their international lenders saying "here, we are square"
If the lender accept it, the lender gets the massive inflation that drives them to their knees (inflation being too many units of currency chasing too little things to buy)
If the debtor doesn't accept it they have to explain why legal tender is no longer accepted to the international investors who may start to worry that they are next.
(one day I will write a well reasoned theory how this situation is what a liquidity trap actually is, not what Keynes thought it was)
The only way the lender can get out of the trap is to foresake the Euro, or find some precedent that allows them to refuse the money but continue to claim the debt.
I mean there are other ways out of severe inflation, but that includes hard, mature decisions that will make everyone howl in pain - like market based lending rates and long term reduction in the cost of government.

That's not the right way to think of it. The Swiss Franc is valued so highly compared to the Euro because the Swiss Franc has stability and trust in it, whereas the Euro is nothing but a piece of monkie feces. No one in their right mind would want to trade Swiss Francs for Euros, which is what the market had long ago determined about it. Exporting comes down to a basic trade of the local currency for the foreign one, and given that the Euro isn't worth wiping you ass with, this only makes sense. The Swiss Franc had value because it could be trusted and started being used by others as a reserve currency, on a small level. That is wealth for Switzerland ... which they were happy to try and piss away.
There is, of course, another side to this - the more important side. That is that Swiss Francs can go out and buy hard assets all over. They can buy land and factories in other places and they can buy gold and oil and bring it back.
When central banks purposely weaken their currencies just to enhance exporter profits, they are basically shifting the wealth of the nation into the exporters' accounts. Now, some like to do this as a function of dumping on the rest of the world - they are willing to pay this enormous expense in order to kill off industries in the rest of the world and then monopolize them. The Swiss are not going to kill off any industries anywhere by weakening their currency and giving the money to exporters, so there would be no point to this. The Swiss tried for a few years but finally gave up - thankfully, for them.
Better than having wasted all that wealth trying to weaken their own currency, the Swiss would have been much better off just giving it to the Swiss and letting them run around the world buying up all sorts of shit.

I've heard that case plausibly argued, and I've also heard a plausibly argued case that Grexit could buttress the Euro, by conveying the message to the markets that the Eurocrats will insist on discipline by the remaining EMU members.
Of course, there are many EU countries other than Greece which are wildly undisciplined when one takes a closer look at their books. The Greeks are merely the worst of a bad lot.

Exactly. It's likely the reason we haven't had a run on the dollar - yet. But this business with Greece is probably making a lot of people think pretty hard about the Euro, its future, and whether they want to hold the damned things. Even if it were rock solid, those kinds of thoughts are pretty much poison to any fiat currency, yes?

Posted by: Jay Guevara at June 27, 2015 09:06 PM (oKE6c)
Yeah. Fiat currencies can be blown apart by a three year old sneezing. The saving grace, these days, seems to be that they are all fiat currencies, so it's become more of a competition of relativity than actual value. Very, very unstable. And we all know that the crushing debts of most the world are beyond repayment. Some are fantasizing about inflating them away (which seems to be the prevailing delusion) but they like to skip over the fact that while doing the inflating the current costs rise even faster and the situation only gets worse ... until the fiat currencies actually dies.
There are some very bad days ahead. We've known that they were there since the credit crisis in 2008 when we elected to pay enormous amounts for a little time instead of letting things actually fix themselves. And when the dollar goes the world is going to see something it has NEVER seen - the destruction of the world's trade and reserve currency (both functions) with nothing left to turn to. Not. Pretty.

Be aware that Frog Lube is a good (short-term) preservative and an adequate lube for guns ...
... but not particularly good for lubricating mill ways (they really work better with a film of real 20W non-detergent oil).
Further, Frog Lube reacts with oil. The manufacturer says so. The result is not particularly good for metal protection or lubrication.
Cleaning your mill ways with acetone, then lubing them with 20W oil, then using the mill ... then, when you plan on storing the mill for a long time, removing the oil, and then applying FL as per their specs, makes a lot of sense.

And used money that was loaned by Germany. But through the magic of accounting, loaning someone money to buy your product, even though they'll never repay the loan, bumps sales and makes you look like an economic powerhouse.

They got elected on spending other people's money, and the solvent nations in the EU refuse to give them other people's money.
So they are going to hold a referendum to avoid blame for what happens next.
If the public votes for austerity ( unlikely ), the EU will allow them to stay.
If the public votes to continue spending, the EU not allow them to print Euros, they will go on the Drachma, which will hyperinflate immediately.

And conversely. I strongly suspect that Soros kicked the financial structure in the balls in the run up to the 2008 election to get his boy in office. The subprime mortgage zit was about to burst in any case; giving a few players to understand that Soros, with his considerable demonstrated acumen, was worried about it would be like shouting in front an avalanche-prone cliff (to mix my metaphors).

I'm a country boy who knows a lot of this stuff, but not enough. My parents know a little more, but it's been decades since they actually practiced any of it and now they're in their 80s. But they remember. I wish my grandparents were still alive. They lived through the Depression and were quite self-sufficient.

Well ... FDR is the only individual in US history who had a whole Constitutional amendment passed just to stop anyone else from ever doing what he did, ever again.
The Founders wrote a very specific proscription into the main body of the Constitution to stop anyone like Barky from ever sliming into the office of the Presidency.
That's pretty damn close.

The trade balance does matter, over time, as I see it. Especially if the money goes to enemies like China or Russia. Economic activity is generally good, but there needs to be a balance, and we can't allow China to defeat us economically.
Trade deals need to serve the American people first, not global corporations and a propped up stock market. And who pays for US being the world policeman?
But trade is good for world peace, it's just that we can't be the main buyer and keep going in debt.

What I think will be very different this time around is that the population density is now insanely high in the cities and few of our fine citizens there know how to do anything but access the EBT cards, Add in cultural language differences, a summer without power or rolling blackouts, and some financial crises, and let the good times roll.

I kept muttering for years about how the Republicans on Capitol Hill needed to deliberately mire Obama in boring detail regarding budgets, et al. With plenty of math.
King Putt hates details and has the world's shortest attention span. He is especially averse to math. Because he has no comprehension of it. (Anyone remember him saying that Obamacare would drive down the typical family's health premiums by "2500 percent"?)
Of course, this was back when I still suffered from the mild hallucinatory delusion that the Capitol Hill GOP had the intention of acting as an oppositional party rather than being collaborative rubber stamps for the White House. That condition of mine has since cleared up, thanks.

They know this and will do anything, including sacrificing all the rest of us to keep that going just one day longer.
Hell the cities depend on any increasingly "real time" system of getting food in, and garbage and shit out. If that pipeline stops, the bellies get empty and the shit piles up fast.
