Small correction: &quot;When the banks were Greek, Spanish, Portuguese or Irish, the <i>Greek, Spanish, Portuguese and Irish governments</i> didn&#x27;t give a fuck about the people.&quot;<p>Since you appear to be from one of those countries, you should see how to get more responsible for your choices and look for better representatives to elect. I don&#x27;t see what&#x27;s your point about another sovereign country. Everyone has their own problems, let&#x27;s just focus on ours.<p>BTW you would be surprised how pissed off were Germans at that time, because every sane person knows the old saying: &quot;Bankers here, bankers there, all the same everywhere.&quot; So we (at least not the bigots among us) should be allowed to speak of regular people bearing the cost of such changes, shall they happen, just as we (and YOU) did it when the same thing happened in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland.
