    Greek Manufacturer Shutdown?

    Maybe back to Greek manufacture shutdown? With a greek account no payments with paypal are possible, you can't even buy free apps (price tag: 0€), no orders from Amazon possible. No way to pay goods in other countries as the payments are now forbidden. Yanis Varoufakis and Mr Tsipras promised...

    Greek Manufacturer Shutdown?

    Tsipras sees himself as the hero Odysseus, leading a great nation of seafarers through Skylla and Charybdis, represented by evil Germany and the rest of the eurozone, and after that adventure (translates into referendum), everything will be fine. Unfortunately, he might not have read the saga...
