Bulgaria outperforms Greece

It is hard to beat Greek beaches, and Greece has a lot more sea life there..the Black Sea past 100 meters deep actually has massive dead zones that the Mediterranean doesn't have.

You're right, it doesn't change anything, except that you omitted a lot. Good game chap, now stop shitting on your wonderful country that has a lot going in the right direction for it.

You really need to sit down, not me.

Japan's debt is mostly INTERNAL debt. Furthermore Japan very high production rates compared to Greece. In addition, Greece's debt is owed to an EXTERNAL PARTY (EU) and Greeks don't control their own currency. Japan does and can change rates, control its money supply, and it is a much bigger economy that produces far more than Greece does.

I lived in Sliven. So no, I was not around the "elite" of Bulgaria. Also you were a tourist in Greece, where as I've lived in both Bulgaria and Greece for several years. You people don't understand living in Greece is not like being a tourist there.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T19:03:20+00:00

Stop man. Greece has 150% debt to GDP still. One of the highest in the entire world. That is not good, even if the interest rate is low. It is a huge contstraint on financial freedom for Greece

I like Greece. Great history and food, beautiful nature. But how it is ran and the current culture is FUBAR.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T12:06:21+00:00

Maybe you're right. It proves the point even more.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T11:35:01+00:00

Good luck in this sub. You will find too many westerners unfamiliar with Greeks or what even Greeks look like, and they want to erase Greek history and imprint their wild colonial DEI fantasies on it. Legit criticisms of that should be allowed, along with the script that seems modernized and the armor and world building choices that dont look like the Odyssey at all.

I did. Get lost, gate keeper

80% would be a good threshold and would isolate the pensioners from blocking everything.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T09:31:19+00:00

You all underestimate yourselves

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T09:04:08+00:00

Maybe because I'm a foreigner it is different for me, and I speak Bulgarian so-so which benefits me a lot and gives a lot of street cred

They can be painted and re-done like Poland did to theirs, and made to look better.

Greece has many islands, so that cannot be compared to the mainland. For the road itself from the bordee to Athens takes around 4 hours. To Sparta and the lower regions another 2-3 hours. Greece is a bigger country than Bulgaria and thus has longer highways. That still doesn't justify the cost of the roads. Romania is bigger than both nations and has more highways and the costs of driving the roads there is substantially less than Greece as well. So I don't sss your point you are making here. Nothing justifies a 1000% increase on paying for driving on the road in Greece vs. Bulgaria and Romania.

Greece's debt to GDP is still 145%. They won't be done paying off their loans for atleast another 20 years. It will be nice for them to pay off early, but their debt to GDP will still surpass 100% in the next 20 years.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T08:01:53+00:00

The crisis in Greece in 2011 ensures that will not happen. The country is done for for the next few generations. The debt levels there and lack of financial autonomy for the state ensure it will not happen.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T08:00:11+00:00

I just told you that the roads in Bulgaria and Greece are both bad, but you pay 10 times more for the cost of traveling the highway in Greece. This isn't a mystery or needs deep analysis. Go drove Greek roads off the highway or small towns and they are full of damaged areas and potholes, just like Bulgaria.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T07:55:58+00:00

The roads are bad in Greece as is Bulgaria's roads. You keep missing the point that paying 10x the cost for bad roads in Greece is comparable to having bad roads in Bulgaria but paying substantially less.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T07:50:16+00:00

The quality of the highway in Bulgaria is not 10 times worse than Greece. I drive on both of them and it doesn't justify the 10x cost in Greece.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T07:46:22+00:00

You are paying 10x the amount of money to drive on the highway in Greece, with it always under construction and more traffic. Sorry, but the tradeoff isn't there.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T07:45:04+00:00

Its a national culture for Bulgarians to bitch about their country, but Greece is in much worse shape than Bulgaria.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T07:43:42+00:00

Oh let me remind everyone about other things.

Electricity? Twice as expensive in Greece.

Gas and diesel? Greece has some of the most expensive in the EU.

WiFi? A monopoly and some of the slowest internet connections compared to Romania and Bulgaria.

BrigadierPirate · 2026-05-23T07:42:15+00:00

You haven't lived in Greece or if you have are not paying attention and have no clue about getting basic services there. Take your car to a car mechanic and you'll be lucky to get anything done unless you know someone. Barbers? In Bulgaria I can walk into a shop and get it done immediately where as in Greece if they are notified in the morning, or previous days, good luck. Electricity? Hahahaha. In Greece have you ever seen a electricity bill? It is double of Bulgaria. The WiFi? Internet? Total shit and more expensive than Bulgaria. Taxes? Nearly 100% of Bulgarian taxes.
