The End Of The Euro: A Survivor’s Guide
- mg330
I keep wondering if I should pay more attention to potential near-term catastrophes given that we are about to spend two weeks in Italy and France. I've not thought too much about it, but it would certainly matter quite a bit of some huge, random swing in euro value messed up things while we were there. All parts of our trip are already paid for, but curious again how a big mess with euro value might affect all sorts of things.

A possible change in € value will be down, meaning your $ will buy more.raf - euro value is true.. 2 weeks ago i had about 350 a month for studio, this month, i have 390..autoflavour

i am sitting here watching the wave of this shit tsunami, knowing full well that if/when this wave breaks, the shits going to hit the fan..
yet amidst all this chaos, i have to find a studio space to set up an art project for the next 12 months.. seems completely insane.. but the grant i applied for says as of 1st of July, i will have a space..

Neither candidate will ultimately be able to lift Greece from their economic woes. The reason is that no solution is currently present, throughout the EU, which will help to solve their joint crisis (and but one, but critical, aspect of the global economic crisis).
The reason for this is that relations, mindset, and consumption habits must be chiefly reformed. And by the way, this is not solely for the people of Greece. What we are seeing today through the global economic crisis is a crisis that is founded on the backs of our global interconnection and interdependence through our markets.
As a result, the system is failing due to self interest wishing to turn it in a myriad of different ways. Only through the development of mutual responsibility, a perspective of seeing the "system" as one whole, and not separate interests, can today alleviate the crisis due to all the nations being interdependent (and this interdependence not ceasing).
It's going to take new education though to form this new mindset, to learn to spend within means, to not exploit one another, and to come to value our interconnection and interdependence. If any candidate truly wants to help their nation today then this is the direction they should be seeking.
We are all painfully out of date with the true state of the world and think that solutions from the level of the symptoms of the crisis will suffice. But they can not because the foundation of the crisis is our interrelations and interdependence with one another. Until we address this, and come to a mutual understanding, and mutual responsibility, we will only see the crisis continue and slightly morph one way or another.
