If you only bothered to check...
If the Greeks are so lazy and the Germans are so hard-working... Why is it that the Greeks workers work, on average, almost 450 hours more per year than their German counterparts?
You see, the Greeks are pissed mad because they have a right to be pissed mad. They look at the German government and how efficiently it is run and they know theirs can do the same thing. It is corruption and a culture of bitch-gathering (meaning paying for votes, which cost the Greeks money) that makes that imposible. But make no mistake, the Greeks are not dumb, like I said, they know when something big and spiky is being rammed up their asses. They know they work more hours than most people in Europe and they do not mind because they have a social safety net they can rely on should they lose their jobs or something else happen. They also know that extending the retirement age is just another concesion to the richest 5% of the population that always cries that they are being overtaxed but never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever mention the simple fact that they are also being overpaid.
That's why they're running around burning cars. Shooting people in the back of the head in the richest parts of Athens, et cetera. And they'll do it until their politicians stop being corrupt, which they refuse. And I think they have a right to protest.
LMFAO!!!
Have you been to Greece?
I actually have.
It's a country that just doesn't function.
Yeah, they might, on paper, be working lots of hours.
But you can't just have quantity. Those hours have to be filled with something. You got incredible amounts of people just being "employed" lord knows doing what.
Eg, some are being employed to take care of a lake. That wouldn't be a bad thing.
Only, the lake has been dried up and non-existent since the 1930's.
The government used to own Olympic Airways, got rid of it last year. Until they did, all employees AND their families would travel for FREE around the world. Totally unheard of in any other airline.
You got so many corrupt rules you could fill a book. As long as you don't complete a building you don't have to pay full tax. So you'll see plenty of houses that are half complete. Totally ridiculous.
I also have been to Germany.
None of this bullshit is going on there.
The wages in Germany are much higher - that means that industries that won't make it will file for bankruptcy.
Only efficient companies will stay in business.
Unlike a near-third world like country like Greece.
You don't think people in Kenya work their asses of too? I bet they work even more than Greeks. But that doesn't make what they do any good.
You need to have a good system in order.
