Greece
... what's really at stake here is not Greece's identity but Europe's. All
eyes are fixed on Athens, but the way out of the crisis requires a
choice about what kind of Europe we want. The one we have now, with its
deep structural inequalities and its rigid adherence to a failed
economic ideology, protects neither democracy nor human rights.
Stiff-necked and punitive, it prefers to eat its children.

Surely what is happening in Greece is, in fact, the cunning plan of a recently -retired academic to drive down the cost of living in Greece to the point where retirement to Pelion becomes not just an aspiration but a financial no-brainer? (when it comes to financial no-brainers, I am uniquely well-qualified!)
Words fail me, however, when it comes to describing just how badly the Greek people have been served by their political representatives.
Drat! I've been rumbled ...
This might interest you.

I guess a level playing field is too much to ask for.
