" A disaster movie. That&amp;#039;s exactly what the people of Greece have been living through. A huge big-budget blockbuster that shows how a whole country can go down in flames. We are dealing with per capita income evaporating, entire sectors of the economy (automotive, manufacturing, construction) cratering, political incapability, widespread corruption, a dysfunctional public sector, widespread tax evasion, poor educational and health systems, riots in the center of Athens, a financially weak middle class that has lost most of its purchasing power, and a permanent fear that Greece will not maintain its place in the euro zone. Every day, everything and everyone sinks deeper into a depression that seems to have no bottom. But on the bright side, mentalities are changing. We&amp;#039;ve remembered the value of money: With less of it to spend, we focus on integrity and quality. We&amp;#039;ve remembered the value of innovation: Alternative sources of income and revenue are constantly being explored. And generally speaking, we don&amp;#039;t buy into bullshit anymore. After decades of fraud, corruption, lies, and counting money that never really existed, we are now able to recognize the bad actors when we see them. \u2014Kostas N.
