| 2015-07-02 |
| [WASHINGTONPOST] European officials on Wednesday slammed the door on any further negotiations with Greece before a national referendum planned for Sunday, daring the Athens government to go ahead with a vote that holds peril for the country no matter which option Greeks choose. "There will be no talks in the coming days," Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselboem told news hounds Wednesday evening. "We will simply await now the outcome of the referendum on Sunday."

| #3 The bad news is I only got 60 Euro, the good news is that I am in Greece, not Germany. |

| #2 At first glance it astounded me that, at this point, anyone would still have their money in a Greek bank account. Then it occurred to me that the only way you can receive a U.S. Social Security payment is to have it "direct deposited" into a Government approved (federal chartered) bank account. It's the truth that our boat is no better than the Greeks. They're just a little farther down the river. |

| #1 Real money left Greek banks long ago. The ATM closure generally only affects pensioners and tourists. The downside of gov't banking controls and direct deposit. A teaching point if you will. More Ouzo please. |
