The same generation that mostly own new cars, wear designer clothes, waste the day away at cafe's, and have their lifestyles almost totally subsidized by their parents. the same generation who will most likely be given properties, free of mortgage.<BR/><BR/>The problem in Greece is very much exaggerated. Greeks have money, and plenty of it(for now).<BR/><BR/>The next generation will suffer, but this generation 700 Euro are mostly mythical; only a small percentage of young Greeks suffer like that. Mostly the ones unfortunate enough not to be handed property.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17298986.post-68372303912007748522008-12-13T22:57:00.000+02:002008-12-13T22:57:00.000+02:00Wow, that's quite sad indeed, and almost unbelieva...Wow, that's quite sad indeed, and almost unbelievable, €500 a month?? In Greece?!? That's nothing! In Sofia (where I live and where as you can imagine prices are a lot lower) that's about the high-average monthly salary now young people who know English and have PC skills earn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17298986.post-71927916004777802952008-06-07T02:27:00.000+03:002008-06-07T02:27:00.000+03:00We need to make this doc as widespread as possible...We need to make this doc as widespread as possible.<BR/>There is a torrent file over here if you want to watch/seed<BR/><BR/>http://www.mininova.org/tor/1479781Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17298986.post-84774554585068521112008-05-26T17:06:00.000+03:002008-05-26T17:06:00.000+03:00Thanks everyone for the comments.

I think that the greatest problem is the fact so much of what we buy is controlled by cartels and monopolies which can charge whatever they like.teacher dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17202858180246680798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17298986.post-78859307706747162742008-05-26T16:27:00.000+03:002008-05-26T16:27:00.000+03:00Very well put.Well done.Very well put.Well done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17298986.post-47377043401816998122008-05-23T07:13:00.000+03:002008-05-23T07:13:00.000+03:00I watched the Ρ.Χ.Σ. yesterday - it is so true tha...I watched the Ρ.Χ.Σ. yesterday - it is so true tha we have to put up with such low salaries.

I've noticed that most prices there are HIGHER THAN IN THE PERIPTERO! The cheapest loaf of bread you can find at Masoutis costs around 80 cents... while yesterday I found a pack of three bell peppers at Masoutis costing... 5 euros! Not bio or anything similar either... <BR/>There are very few supermarket chains in Greece, and they support each other in overpricing. and the government supports their practices.<BR/><BR/>They claim the rises come from oil price rises, but how then do they influence a tomato that was grown 50km from Thessaloniki, for instance? And how come so many pieces of imported clothing is so cheap then? They're seriously underestimating our intelligence.<BR/><BR/>But it's not entirely "their" fault. The neoellinas mentality has a lot to do with enforcing such practices. There are so many young people who are almost broke, yet spend the few money they have on ridiculolusly priced designer outfits, and support cafes (not to mention bars and clubs) where a frappe costs 5 euros... If they stopped tolerating such business models, these businesses would eventually shut down. <BR/><BR/>I read <A HREF="http://www.arketa.gr/index.files/Page2614.htm" REL="nofollow">this article</A> the other day, and I think you'll find it interesting too.
