I'm awful at keeping all of this straight. I think it's horrible the current state of some countries situations, but I'm curios about some news I heard prior on the forums. I heard that there is a corporation running in Europe that "Helps" get countries into the European dollar organization. I heard they "helped" Greece and other countries. They did it by "balancing" their books by shifting numbers around to let Greece look healthy and meet the requirements to join. However if that was the case these "balanced" figures are just hold overs and funny money that doesn't really exist. If this is the case why is this company allowed to do such practicices. Wasn't this the company that was trying to push countries that don't make the requirements into the EU. If this was the case then doesn't this just drag down the entire EU when the pushed debt numbers come back.
Maybe I got this information wrong and I'm missing something, but it sounds like the winner are the companies who push this kind of funny numbering. I also liked the example with Mary's Bar. Seriously it sounds like banks are screwing up a whole lot. Just gotta love Free Market.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
