portugal, spain, greece totally full stop today, 16 other countries also on strike. europe shutting down

My fellow Greek friend bad times ahead for us!!

Very true, wouldn't complain tbh if services and products prices fell down accordingly to the cuts, but for a small home in Athens you need 300-400 euros per month without the utilities. No one can live with 400 euros per month and everything getting more expensive, income taxation doubled and 15 new extra taxes, it's a madness.

Does "direto" mean "live"? (on the video stream)

Direct, something like that i suppose. This is a video though and not a stream.

hihi typical german talking.
arbeit macht frei!

but i kinda agree with you... the thing is i dont agree with the system.

Thanks but that's not a live stream. Its a video clip.

Yes, I just came back here to post that I had figured out they are showing the same scenes over and over again.

Recent, maybe, but not live.

Yeah, only the rich deserve to do nothing and get paid exorbitant amount of money so they can bank that money im ausland and don't have to pay the same taxes as everyone else. It's the same shit whether in Germany, UK, US or any other place. The poor have to work, work, work for empty peanut shells while the rich live it up.

Buy the separate countries for a dime? You hallucinate. Spoilers are going to be desamortized to death anywhere in sight in the planet. So came, so goes. Be nice and learn to lose, you cheated.

Socialists getting payback for their spending binges.
Enjoy it....you earned it.


USA is going to be next.

except holland

Hey Diego, your low-wage ceiling and personal finance satisfaction expectations are your own doing... If you want more out of life, earn the fucker.

The german were responsible for 2 world wars and you will be responsible for another one!!!
400 euros of medium salary and a pension of 300 at the age of 67 is enough for you???

If youre talking to me diego, you might love to know that i dont even touch my mouse in a professional way for less than 100 quid an hour.

If your bitching about earning 400 euros a month, who is forcing you to ONLY earn so little? the gov? brussels? no, YOU are

hey British asshole try to work with 400 Euros a month!!!!!

portugal's repeating himself now

ohhhh how friendly you are from the German
well when the fat lady ruin all Europe, you wait your country will be the next!!!!

Idiot... All that comes to mind....

im not rpeating myself i was answering the German guy but you answer in the name of him...now we see that you have a German bone lol

Seeing as I have a second home and business in South America, I'm this bothered:

You seriously dont have any clue as to the current situation in Portugal... You speak of 100 quid an hour, but you fail to understand that there isn't that opportunity for the regular joe in Portugal..

So why dont you just shut it already...

The problem is that most of the jobs, even the ones that require a little bit more of knowledge, say a professional or technical course, do not pay over 1000 euros, most actually pay probably 700 euros or so, even that is not enough comparing the price range we have over here in most of the things. And with the lack of jobs there are, you either take what you get or you continue a long while with no job... Even people that get 900 euros a month or so will get cut back real bad on their salary, IRS increase next year, etc. It's not a matter of forcing people to just earn 400 euros, it's a matter of people not really having a choice... especially people that already have or are building a family. Even when we joined euro, everything doubled in price, compared to our old coin (Escudo) so 1 euro = 200 escudos, but our salaries did not accompany the price doubling, so the minimum wage back then was around 87000 escudos, and now it's 400 and something euros, which is exactly the same. The money just couldn't circulate as well, that little detail was probably what killed it over here to begin with, that and our crappy government which has political immunity and even with proof of corruption cannot be arrested.

You just don't seem to know how quickly that can all change. You should be thankful for what you have and not throw it in other peoples faces.

Excuse me Pal, but we are all dealt the same fuckin cards in life and it's up to the individual to rise from the dirt, not search for excuses.

Exactly, a simpler way to say what I tried to in my just a few seconds ago post :)

Is the parliament still surounded in Portugal?

Not trying to. This is confrontational constructive criticism and I hope to motivate the lad with a combination of anger and shame. Seriously, I freelance, from home and I make good money. I could easily resettle in Portugal and do exactly the same thing. Why can't he?

of course you have a second home, you are what we call here a new rich people who dispase who are poor and dont have feelings for nobody...people like you exists in all countrys around the world...
you are so English that you dont even care with your own country
so run, run for your second home in south america and may god have mercy of the country you go living!

Take that emotion youre feeling right now and get proactive about your own life instead of berating the world for your own inadequacies. Change your life my friend, it's not impossible.
