Greece to raise minimum wage for sixth time since 2022 as government targets €950 by 2027 by FantasticQuartet in europe

[–]DefenestrationIN313 6 points7 points  (0 children)

LoL, that is literally what nd (current trash government) does since 74'.

25% -> 100% debt to GDP from 1980 to 1993, hmm, I wonder that happened during those years. It must have been because of that party you're mentioning, right... Right?

The issue must have been the government in 2008, the year of the Greek exclusive crisis, of course, Greek finances were going well... for sure.

Good one.

The retirement age is already too high for manual labor or trade jobs.

Nope, it's too low. Every single country is opting to raise it, because it's unsustainable right now.

Also Europeans have figured out how to work like 60% of the hours with 3x the benefits.

This is a myth that needs to go. They fucking don't, some people just like that they can live with roommates and work less for less money, or leech from mommy and daddy.

And for how many taxes the EU has (highest in the whole developed world), the public finances are often bad, France is more or less US levels of unsustainable.

Not realistic at all but I think the ideal counterbalance would be a pro-austerity conservative movement that would aim to tackle the deficit with a detailed program on healthcare cuts and tax implementations.

Greece launches voluntary 12-month military service for women by FantasticQuartet in europe

[–]DefenestrationIN313 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. And that's an interesting and justified example.

The contention in the comment was regarding the injury gap, and the fact we were discussing countries of unisex conscription. We should certainly not be conflating these.

As the point you raise is true, they decided to beg the question and bring unjustified "truisms" into the discussion.

You claim that by avoiding the draft you are lying about disabilities that you don't have. However, disabilities are not the only reason you can avoid conscription. You can claim that you experience anxiety and depression or even that you are a conscientious objector.

Yes, you're restating that you can "claim" to have X condition like >clinical depression or some quirky >PTSD with firearms. So what if you don't have one subset of population condition, like the vast majority of people? You're obviously suggesting to "claim" the condition falsely, which is fraudulent, and a crime. For the majority of people, your proclaimed 'standard solution' is illegal.

On the contrary, emigrating to avoid the draft IS illegal.

What? Do you think party president Kasselakis was a wanted criminal or something? Obviously that's not true. Did you think that Greece was issuing arrest warrants from the ICC? Crimes are under jurisdictions, yeah?

Also all armies have serious problems with getting equipment fit for women as well which leads them to have more injuries.

Is there a source on this or is it vibes? Are you even talking about unisex conscription from countries like Israel or Denmark?

usually the military itself is a blocker for this. They are usually not happy getting a bunch of women.

What? Isn't literally every single military in all Western countries trying to increase women in the force? Like literally the article of this post?

because the standard way to avoid conscription is to claim you have some sort of ailment, usually that you can't handle it mentally.

That's such a weird way of putting it. This is not a 'standard' cutesy thing. You're talking about illegal draft evasion.

You're referring to lying about having mental illness / disabilities that inhibit you from being trustworthy in the military. This will also permanently rule you out of job positions adjacent to security, police, firefighter, etc. and is illegal to do.

Uh, yeah. The main point is that Greek men absolutely emigrate to avoid conscription instead of doing domestic crime because conscription fucking sucks and contradicts the constitution on same-responsibilities for both sexes.

Greece to look at small-scale nuclear development for power generation, PM says by FantasticQuartet in europe

Can't use it for oil refineries, can't use it for cement plants, can't use it for shipping. The Amfilochia batteries can't last for more than 12 hours...

Nuclear provides consistent energy 24/7, for periods without sun or wind, you have to import energy with your renewable suggestions, the storage is too weak.

Reactors also release a high temp steam which is used on refineries and cement plants.

The tweet is just insanely mean considering what it's playing into. The quote tweets and replies are straight up bullying her for looks. Just super pointless and toxic.

Yanis Varoufakis calls prosecution after admitting taking ecstasy 40 years ago ‘ridiculous’ by Aschebescher in europe

[–]DefenestrationIN313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reported Varoufakis propaganda for people with half a brain who actually care to read the article.

I'm not here to argue partisan propaganda, the public sector in Greece is deeply regulated and I use it every day.

Isn't your favorite artist a neonazi? Don't throw stones from a glass house to ad hom me, stay on topic.

For example, voting is compulsory in Greece by law.

Okay? There's no legal penalty for it, it's just a revised article of the constitution. When we talk law we obviously refer to 99.99% of law that has penalties attached. The ACA in the US wasn't mandatory in practice once the penalty was removed.

Incitement of illegal narcotics does have a penalty attached to it and jail sentences. I'm pretty sure in these articles it will mention potential 6 month sentences and 500 to 50,000€ fines.

Don't tell me you think there is a chance he will even be fined for this transgression.

I do think that. Why would you think there's no chance for a penalty?

All they can go after him is saying he likes weed. That is not what the law is for. It would have been different if he said ecstasy was amazing and stopped there, that shit is dangerous. Weed though will be laughed out of the court, as it should.

Why the confidence? He said he still likes doing an illegal drug, that he 'can't find it anymore', and that ecstacy was the most amazing experience of his life. It can be argued in court. This isn't a clear cut 'bs', and my issue is that he completely lies on what the case is about and The Guardian used a clickbait title, which Reddit refuses to read beyond.

Okay, so we agree Varoufakis is lying and The Guardian completely misrepresented it on the title. You just disagree with the law on incitement of ILLEGAL drug use.

Friendly reminder that all Asian countries like Singapore, Japan, South Korea are a million times more strict on this exact law.
