Get up earlier, and forget the siesta nonsense. Better still, sell Greek Tradable Citizenships.
They could fund their whole country like that.
Being the cradle of democracy, they could be the leaders into the new era of democratic freedom where the state is the property of the citizens rather than the citizens being the property of the state.
But, they won't have the imagination for that, same as Saddam didn't have the imagination to avoid invasion and conquest by the Coalition of the Willing by handing Iraq over to the UN for a constitutional UN conference to create a federation of New United Nations protectorates.
Saddam could have handed over a few palaces to get the ball rolling and offered large tracts of Baghdad and Iraq as a world headquarters, funding the process with Iraqi oil.
Instead, the stupid USA got into a war over obviously non-existent WMDs which has cost about $1 trillion and a few thousand dead USA soldiers and several thousand maimed, not to mention a horde of Iraqis suffering. Saddam ended up with dead sons and a hanging for him so his choices were bad too.
Greece could go from a financial catastrophe to a beacon for the world in the space of a year. A bigger, brighter, Statue of Liberty could light the way back to Europe and the future for humanity. Freedom for Euroserfs to escape their penal and freezing reglaciating northern climes.
It's doubtful that Greeks have sufficient imagination, so they'll most likely just go down the gurgler into the usual catastrophes which go with such failure. Turkey might invade opportunistically.
I'd be keen to buy a few Greek TCs for family and friends. I suspect they'd be too expensive for me though, with all the Europeans wanting to get in, and Saudis, Nigerians, Chinese and others wanting to improve their lives and escape their local unpleasantness and dangers.
Freedom and democracy [the real thing] are extraordinarily attractive to people.
There have been suggestions that Greece should sell islands. Absurd!! Sell TCs, not islands.
20,000 per year x $1 million = a significant improvement in revenue for Greece. That's just for the citizenship. Then people will move there and set up businesses too because absurd tax laws will soon be ditched when citizens vote to improve themselves. The income gains would be phenomenal. In 10 years it would be the best and richest place on the planet.
Souvlaki would be staple fare around the world.
