is greece a testing ground?

westerners are not accustomed to shatty work conditions (long hours no benefits etc) for decades now, it seems intl companies have been using 3rd world countries for their cheap labor and their lax laws. but after a few years it becomes too expensive to operate or the gov becomes unstable and they have to leave. also it takes a lot of resources to "influence" the gov in these countries. so it would seem that the inevitable outcome would be to make the labor force in developed countries more accepting of lower standards.

how do you do this? force them into a situation where the people become desperate. we all see from china that hyper-competition brings out the worst in people. look at the laws being passed. free societies will now have the right to lock up citizens indefinitely without a trial. they are laying the ground work to ban websites. intl organizations such as wto , eu are over riding the will of the people.

im not a writer so im not good at expressing my thoughts but the question is this is greece the testing ground for forcing people who are used to freedom and standards to accept harsher conditions and fewer rights?

Yeah, Greece is totally fucked. Meeting the budget requirements is impossible.
 
The Euro Monetary Union is structurally flawed.
