Greece's Workers Fleeing The Cities

[@beam3819]

I love Greece. Lovely hard working people. Been so lucky to visit many times. Greece in my hart

[@ignatiosagioupauliti3035]

Just saw this 5 years or so later. Things appear like they will get better, but since then there have been new crises-- refugees for instance. I hope the people in the video are doing well. We pray for you and for our beloved Greece. And every tiny bit of optimism you show brings tear of hope and promise. Perseverance must be a Divine Name the Fathers told us we would discover if we trusted in the Holy Spirit.

[@slukky]

Greece needs a new govt. The restrictions & stupid traditions in place are appalling. I tried to get dual citizenship, but the Orthodox church wants evidence that both my parents were baptized in the Orthodox church. Those files were destroyed when the church bldg. burned down. I would love to smash the leaderships' heads together like Easter Eggs! The diaspora Greeks outnumber the homeland population. Greeks have done well all over the world. We are one of the highest (if not still the highest) educated ethnic minorities in the U.S. Greece could grant us citizenship & charge a small tax for this while allaying the economic straits it still faces. The best govt. is that that governs least. Leave the people alone. Protect them, then let them decide how to run their lives. Step in only when they do something that threatens the general welfare of Greece. Or the U.S. for that matter. Asta! My blood pressure is pounding in my neck.

[@tushardesai]

I feel really sad for the Greek people. No other civilization has made as much contribution to humanity as the Greeks have. Yet, because of some imprudent decisions they have landed into this mess. I can only hope that they overcome this crisis soon.

[@rickmartyn9170]

Such great journalism

[@xplosivelilly]

those villages are so lovely! who would ever want to leave!? :(

[@annaravani1]

Christos Rosakis well said!!!!!! I feel for you all.xx

[@LegalHybrid-RiskAdvisory]

Thanx very much. You should do a follow-up! Would love to see how they are doing.

[@jessicaread4880]

I am a ludite. Machines destroyed village life and security in England, Not having to lock your doors and windows like now. Living off the land. We have no machine factories left any more thanks to the EU but we have left it now and still have no factories! We make nothing and sell nothing but we are open to immigrants? xJes

[@slukky]

Rebecca, I strongly urge you to read Jeremy Rifkin's, ENTROPY. Tough reading, but well worth the effort.

[@slukky]

And you're a troll, shammy sissy. At least Jessica has the cojones to use her real name. Hahahahahahahahaha!

[@shammydammy2610]

There's just as much chance that's not a real name as mine is. I could randomly make up a name, like say... Andrew Watford...and put it with my pic...and no one would be the wiser. But the point is still that our self proclaimed 'ludite'...er....luddite is using the epitome of technological progress to denounce technical progress. If she (assuming she's a she) wants to use her real name (assuming that it is) to take ironic hypocrisy to a whole new level, good for her.

[@WilliamSchlott]

I think the USA is headed in the same direction as Greece only it may end up worse. Good video, its nice to see all these people doing something positive.

[@AussieAF]

The USA isn't and never can. The WHOLE world will collapse if the US dollar goes. Most nations have more than 50% of assets in US dollars or almost all on that and the market. If it fails, no one will think about America. No one will care they are without food. Millions will die and the system as we know it will not be put back in place. All this lays in the hands of China. China proved this a few years back selling around 1% of US reserves it had. The market fell 10-12% thru the day.

[@mwalt8959]

All part of the plan.

[@jrregan]

Ian, it's all funny money anyway. Always has been, always will be. Bubble, bust - to solve that they just rout the losses to the taxpayer's mytical US budget. Which is just as fake. The government lies and it's always 4x-5x more then they state. 20T is just the ADMITTED debt. It was over 200T years ago if all accounting was balanced and accounted for. The 20T is just to balance to the end of the fiscal budget (which varies from 6 months to 2 years). It doesn't include other already accepted debt, thus the 200T. No Nation has EVER got itself out of significant debt legally and fairly. It takes a major War and the passing of laws that cancel debt or the passing of that country period to end it.

[@muddywaters538]

Greece is beautiful. It offers a rich life for a poor person. God bless Greece 🇬🇷

[@gregaburo]

I was on this island and than crossed with my motorbike to Turkey, on a boat of course. Amazing place

[@piewsook]

About people who chose to help themselves. Hope is better than melancholy.

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire. Aristotle

[@AussieAF]

And to think Greece's debt at its worst is still less than half Australias current true debt in 2017

[@manpreetdhatt3064]

ten ten it’s not the Total AMOUNT of Debt that counts, it’s the size of the Economy to Debt Ratio that counts. It’s doesn’t matter if Australia has Double the Amount of Debt as compared to Greece’s National Debt, because Australia’s Economy is Many times greater than that of Greece’s Economy with a half he GDP as compared to Greece, Australia’s Economy has the capability of paying back its Debt with NO PROBLEMS whereas Greece’s GDP is way less than to be able to manage its national debt. So that’s why Sir, Greece’s Economy collapsed

[@ricocottrell3017]

Very moving.

[@kuwait85]

18:18 ms bouboli's got a very solid point

[@krantigouripur5925]

To be self employed is better than being unemployed

[@ledauphindebourbon6956]

For a country where 40% of the entire population lives in Athens, it is normalization. It was disproportionate. And when they are there together, they don't even want to meet the other greeks, literally to see them. You see empty restaurants, but a waiter with a motorcycle leaves every two minutes to deliver meals at home ... As crazy and eastern as you can get.

[@WoundedEgo]

From the Bible: 23Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; 24for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations. 25When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in, 26the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field. 27You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family and to nourish your female servants. Proverbs 27

[@katejamdgi3967]

3 years later nothing has changed

[@Christinebanks11]

Kate Jamdgi that's bullshit ! Greece has so changed , look at the migrants !

[@boer902]

Liz P - You made me really laugh, even if so many things are so sad!

[@landlord5552]

So world go round, good

[@andrenj1970]

it's great to hear good news:)

[@krantigouripur5925]

I left city and went to village to study and got what I wanted in my life

[@amindz5592]

Hello Journeyman picturs I am from algeria can you help me to get more information about the first couple I want to know more about their job

[@michaelsargeant5923]

Get rid of the EU currency

[@krantigouripur5925]

I love traditional thinking they always had a solution for a problem

[@ho2cultcha]

hope!... from greece! who'd a thunk it?!

[@mikesmith8278]

Good shit, time to come back to earth and stop being arrogant. The buggers no longer sell snails at my local supermarket, so stuff them and stuff the supermarket.

[@raj1894]

Greece has produced many scholars to day if ship is floating is because ARCH MEDIES PRINCIPLE EMINENT SCHOLARS AND PHILOSOPHERS ARE FROM THERE I LOVE GREECE AND ITS PEOPLE I DID VISIT LARNAKA PEOPLE ARE DOWN TO EARTH

[@slukky]

This is slowly happening in the U.S.; however, it's a smaller percentage who are willing to go back to the land. People here are waiting for the man on the white horse to show up & deliver them from economic woes. Instead, we have an orange clown who is an embarrassment & diversion from the true forces that govern us-- poorly. Worse yet, there's no reason for any of this, other than greed.

[@shattershills1456]

And now a man in diapers who cannot form a sentence who forgets he is president and cannot repeat words fed to him in earpieces and teleprompters. One day the people will realize the parties are really one party, the trillionairs pay for a divided people.

[@dolores.t.hodgkins3140]

I have know many Greeks since i migrated from England to Australia, and they are not ever lazy those i have met over the years,

[@fixedgearplanet]

exactly

[@101logic]

Yes!

[@dukewilliam1st]

17:40 ! that is the key... at the end we do get what we deserve !

[@marcelwaee3056]

sounds familiar oh the Byzantine dark age when Egypt was fallen to Arabs the people started fleeing the cities

[@martmarriner2066]

are you being a troll?

[@geppegep]

what a cliche answer, have you ever heard about technology and innovation, for examples there are millions of tons of krill which are like shrimp that could feed the whole world and actually tastes good

[@Geraldbux0401]

7:24 What do you miss about the big city? ...crickets ... the prostitutes 😂🤣😜

[@slukky]

How can the Greeks be blamed for lying pols? (I know, that's repetitive).

[@MaZZaFaKKaH]

word up!

[@rickmartyn9170]

Snail slime cosmetics!!

[@tallthinwavy3]

Go back to their original currency and cut taxes and regulations.Then economic growth will take off once again. Former Soviet countries and Asia have done this and their economies are doing so much better.

[@AussieAF]

To do this, they need to leave the EU. The are too hooked on blood money to go elsewhere. Things will change in just over a year. With Britain out, there will be next to no money for payouts.

[@eljeffe3120]

There has been no process of industrialization in order to do so. Greece does not produce anything; its population is not productive (not in the lazy sense, but in the sense that they do not work to produce high-value goods and services). Greece needs to take pages out of the USSR's, PRC's, and NK's handbook and industrialize under a centralized meritocratic government - a process that can only be initiated if the ruling elite and prevailing societal forces are torn down and their crimes exposed.

[@cemo3292]

They got what they deserve

[@jadaswarklar]

GREECE

[@Christinebanks11]

Super Mega this is Sparta !

[@MooseheadDrinker]

sad.

[@flowerrose2192]

Of course they are lazy, retiring at 42! They thought that they are entitled to, which kind of people would believe this crab! They have different definition of "hard working" maybe.

[@imsearching4yearsnowforana966]

They are not retiring at 42 but at 65. Pls don't be listening at those stereotypes

[@through-faith-alone]

who told you this crap

[@delagrazia]

yeah..the only thing worthy was the Volos exchange market

[@OsmanOsmanHan]

Failed state.

[@delagrazia]

kinda stereotypical

[@MarquisdeLafayett]

is that greek for "give me more money" ?

[@DesertArizona]

But what do bronze-age myths in the bible have to do with today.

[@Tripserpentine]

Ask that to Isil and Israel.

[@gissie391]

false religion read Bible youll see why .Christ doesn't share his Glory withy mary. and miracles are false miracles from wrong source.

[@carameloxx]

learn from ghandi!!!!!

[@100years262democides]

this is the rewards of socialism.
