The birth place of democracy is about to turn communist.
The wealthy and educated in Greece voted yes, but the commoners voted no.
The stupid win and Greece is now done.

Greece can't leave the Euro, but voted no to austerity. I get something for nothing. That's communism.

If Greece leaves the Euro, then they are really screwed, and their financial system will be in chaos. Greeks and Mediterraneans aren't good at organizing anymore. See the wealthy/educated know something that the common leaches don't.

Greece must leave the Euro if they are ever to survive. The German plan would keep them in servitude forever (and or course that's what Andrea wants - she also miscalculated in Ukraine) check out the finance expert opinion,

Basic math (rounding):
Greek loans from EU: $500 Billion dollars
Equivalent loan per person to US: $13 Trillion
Greek politicians can't say "no more" to population.
Thus, loaning money to Greece is bad investment.
Greece couldn't even get the capital to restart a new currency (can't go back to the old one because of outstanding debt)
Greece leaves Euro, will collapse into Chaos because of insecure financial system.
Greece needs Germans to tell them what to do, and beat them into sensibility with "Greek be Good" sticks.

Get Educated.

Similar forces, inertia, weak leadership lead the French Monarchy to the financial crisis of 1789. At the ad hoc General Assembly, the Estates General drafted the national constitution that enfranchised tax-paying men, active citizens, those with something invested and at risk in the future, and non-tax paying poorer citizens, in French ", passive" citizens who have little invested and are too malleable and incited to rash action and chaos. (Durant, The Age of Napolean).


In the face of such obvious wisdom of human mob behavior, Madam Guillotine emerged.

Louis, his children, Marie, Holy Men, sinners and most of the members of the General Assembly, the 40000 man Swiss Guard, lost their earthly gamble and met their saviour and judgement. Ironically Marat and Robspierre, creators ofvthe calamity, were consumed.

Weakness in thus crisis ill served France for the next 100 years.

I wish for the good citizens of Greece better leadership and a better fate.

The citizenry wants something for nothing, and the leaders will keep getting voted back in for pandering... kind of like Democrats who get jollies for handing out other people's money.

The problem is that it is really not other people's money. Most of this money is
made by exploitation and corruption. It is money stolen from the people. There are hard working people out there that earn their money just to have stolen by corporations, greedy banks, and corrupt politicians.

You seem to be forgetting the 10's of billions borrowed and owed by Greece to the IMF, eurozone countries, and the European Central Bank. THAT'S the "other peoples' money."

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
