Not saying that there was no mistake done when Greece joined the EU (actually I don't think Greece should have been allowed to join) but claiming that none of this would have happened if it were not for the EU is just bullshit. Greece was already corrupted, with really unhealthy economics.
- csomar 4y agoI’m not saying it was bad for the greek (the people) but for the Greece (the country). Also, if you think long-term, it might not be that beneficial for the greek. Moving to another country incur extra costs, which could be avoided on your own country. Greeks might have been more well-off if their own country developed instead.
- jokethrowaway 4y agoThey could have very well printed their way out of the problem and let everyone in the country pay for the mistake of the usual class of corrupted politicians. Oh but they're in the EU now, they can't do that, so let's just let the peasants starve while the wealthy invest in german stocks. I'm not saying Greece is a perfect system, but the EU way has been just way worse for Greek citizens.
