It Was Easy To Gauge The Rising Panic In Athens This Weekend By The Length Of The Lines At The ATMs,

It was easy to gauge the rising panic in Athens this weekend by the length of the lines at the ATMs, writes TIME’s Simon Shuster from the Greek capital. On Saturday, when Greeks learned that they would have to vote on the terms of their country’s bailout program in a snap referendum on July 5, clusters of people began to gather at the machines that still had cash to give. By Sunday afternoon these lines were sometimes stretching entire blocks as word spread of the government’s shocking announcement: the banks would not be allowed to open in the morning, and they would start limiting how much money their clients could withdraw.

The resulting anxiety, which would seem to herald an imminent climax in the five-year-old saga of Greece’s depression, will now form the atmosphere for next weekend’s referendum. The choice voters face is stark: They can either vote Yes to more tax hikes and pension cuts as a condition of keeping financial aid from Europe flowing, or they can vote No and reject the deal from Greece’s creditors, potentially forcing the country to default on its debts and pull out of Europe’s currency union.

But for many in Athens, however, the decision came down to a simpler and more depressing question: What do we really have left to lose?

America is fucked up

What happened to Christina Grimmie (the singer who was shot dead at her own concert) infuriated me this morning. What the fuck is wrong with your government? Why can’t they see that THEIR FUCKING PATHETIC GUN LAWS ARE A PROBLEM?! This amazes me. Are they blind or smtg? I looked up this shit on the Internet and the data I’ve encountered is INFURIATING! “On an average day, 91 Americans are killed with guns.” LIKE EXCUSE ME?! 91. LIFE. ENDED. BECAUSE. OF. YALL!! “There are 12000 gun murders EVERY YEAR in the United States.” WHAT THE FUCK ?! HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YALL OPEN YOUR EYES? “7 children or teens are killed with guns on an average day.” 7 FUCKING LIFE THAT HADNT EVEN REALLY STARTED YET. PER DAYS. DAYS!!! “AMERICA’S GUN MURDER RATE IS MORE THAN 25 TIMES THE AVERAGE OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY.” WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO SEE ITS FUCKED UP. CHANGE YOUR FUCKING LAWS. START PROTECTING YOUR CITIZEN. HOW ARE THEY EVER GONNA FEEL SAFE ANYWHERE IF YOU DONT DO SOMETHING??!! Oh and don’t give me the “guns don’t kill people, people do Etc” excuse CAUSE IF YOU DIDNT GIVE THOSE SAME PEOPLE THE MEANS TO END A LIFE SO EASILY, those gun murder rates wouldn’t be that high and some people would still be alive. GET YOURSELF TOGETHER AMERICA, YOU’RE KILLING YOUR OWN CITIZENS.
