...the first 5% are reasonably happy, everybody else is unhappy. But long before that moment, the banks are shuttered, the ATM's have severe withdrawal limits, and new rules are put in place. To really understand this dynamic, simply ask someone in Venezuela or Greece what their life is like and you can have a current perspective. It's awful.

I’m pretty sure the answer in Greece would be a string of explicatives, given that the banks appear to be getting their way again at the expense of the average Greek citizen.

Does this water seem warmer to anyone else? (Daniel Quinn reference, sorry)
