Correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t Greece hold a flea market sale to sell off its seaports, parks, airports, state-owned telecomm companies, art galleries and museums?

That’s gotta be worth a few hundred billion.

I don’t want to see Greece go under; I like baklava and gyros.

I have better, Greece can actuality do more damage to Eurozone, then Brussels can even realize, it will be drastic, but will send message, count on it.

Merci

Greece was supposed to sell $50B of state assets, from communications, water, electricity utilities to railroads, airports to harbors.

They sold about $500M.

Nobody wants the baggage that comes with the property. Greece needs to do the restructuring first (labor laws, property rights, tax collection, legal system, etc., etc.)
