Greece is slowly developing into a country of  the non-stop lay-offs. No, not in masses, but one here, two there and so on. “Decrease labour costs, increase competitiviness” are the official slogans of the IMF dictaroship.

Unofficially consumers have cut spending, enterprises are running dry of cash, banks do not give loans (not even those financed by the EU), local investors hesitate to invest a single Euro, shops and smal businesses are closing down.
