393: Throwing Yogurt
Greek Economic Crisis, Yogurt Protests, and TEMS Currency
As Greece's Independence Day approaches on March 25, citizens are reportedly preparing "yogurt protests" against political leaders. The IMF is demanding an additional 12 billion euros in austerity measures, while one-third of Greek land and state assets are being prepared for sale to entities like Russia's Gazprom. In response to the liquidity crisis, a virtual cashless trading network called TEMS has emerged for citizens to exchange services.
