Gino’s mom asked:


I live in Greece since 25 years and it seems this country is on the verge of going bankrupt. I have no idea what that means for the common citizen. Anybody can give me some info. Thank You for answering.

    Well, in the old world what would happen is people would sell their land to the highest bidder – usually the nearest imperial power.

    Nowadays it’s more about economics and capitalist agendas though.
