Greek strike disrupts flights, cripples services. Excerpts:
A general strike halted public transportation across Greece on Wednesday and led to the cancellation of more than 100 flights at Athens International Airport, as unions stepped up opposition to the country's austerity measures.
State hospital doctors, ambulance drivers, pharmacists, lawyers and tax collectors also joined school teachers, journalists and thousands of small businesses in the 24-hour strike as more middle-class groups took part in the protest than have in the past. Athens' main shopping district was mostly empty, as many small business owners shuttered their stores.
..
The strike halted trains, ferries and most public transport across the country, and idled many airlines at the international airport.
And:
The IMF has said some of the frequent demonstrations against the Greek government's reforms were being carried out by groups angry at losing their "unfair advantages and privileges." (Can you believe someone from the IMF said that, without a trace of irony? C'mon.. The group controlling All The Money calling the "have nots"/everyone else on anger for losing privileges? Wow.. Wow..)
Global Revolution, meet Greece; Greece? Global Revolution.. But you have met before, right?
