people are mostly stressed because no one really knows what will happen next week. other than that it's business as usual. you must understand that we live in this climate for the past five years so it's not that big a deal for us

It's not quite the same situation though. Iceland's issues stemmed from it's three biggest national banks failing at the same time. The creditors went away when the banks failed. Greece's issues stem from sovereign government debt which won't go away even if the Greeks overthrow their government and replace it with a new one.

I thought people would be more worried, but I guess living with this situation that long might make people fatalistic. Any preparations you are making? Stocking up on food or beer?

Can y'all motherfuckers stop trying to ruin the world economy? I mean seriously, I get that nobody wants to lose their benefits but the country is in the toilet. The rest of Europe is begging Greece not to jump while the leftist leadership giggles on the edge of catastrophe.
I feel that's a little unfair. Greece is trying, like every other country, to do its best for its citizens in a difficult world economic situation. They're certainly not "trying to ruin the world economy", and whatever the outcome of these problems it's unlikely that the world economy as a whole will be "ruined". We're talking about just one country, with a population of less than 11 million: that's less than Ohio.
