Έπεσα πάνω σε αυτό το θέμα για το ελληνικό χρέος σε ένα ξένο φωτογραφικό φόρουμ στο οποίο είμαι μέλος. Το κείμενο παρακάτω είναι η απάντηση ενός μέλους (Αμερικανός) με τη μορφή στιχομυθίας πώς πιστεύει ότι λειτουργούν τα πράγματα στη διάρκεια μιας διαπραγμάτευσης.
Debtors rep: εκπρόσωπος των πιστωτών
Creditors rep: εκπρόσωπος των οφειλετών
*******
Debtors rep: "we are not going to agree to your conditions".
Creditors rep: "that's what the last ones also said, but they did not know about the opportunity package"
Debtors rep: "what's that"?
Creditors rep: "well for every billion dollar loan you sign on behalf of your debtors, agreeing to the conditions, you get an opportunity package, that basically leaves you and your family multi-millionaires, it's like the doctor who gets free conference trips, or the pharmacist who gets a promotional watch if he recommends a particular product"
Debtors rep: "your shitting me, right" ?
Creditors rep: "nope give your daughter a call, she just got a job offer to work in a prestigious private bank with a included private apartment and private gourmet meals at the banks own staff and clients restaurant, including a chauffeur driven Bentley, she will be managing some very prestigious clients investments, you would best listen to her investment advice over the next year"
Debtors rep: "how do I manage the fallout, ?
Creditors rep: "don't worry commercial media and PR and advertising agencies are a blessing everything will be alright"
Debtors rep: "what happens when who I represent gets upset and fires me"
Creditors rep: "oh well people are always complaining, think of your family and in the end you have to look after them, you can get a nice villa and do speaking tours and consulting work, don't worry to much, there is a lot of choice, once you resign after you sign, citing wanting to spend time with family or something like that"
Debtors rep: ok where do I sign?
