I'm gonna almost feel guilty making so much money off of those poor economic refugees. almost.

Do you have a problem with making people happy? Or at least happier than they will be in their destroyed economy?

< shrug > again.

i don't worry so much about economic refugees. wherever they go, they have a purpose in doing so, and therefore an intellect that can be dealt with. but i wouldn't be so sure you're going to make money off them, if i were you - folks like that are usually pretty dedicated to their wealth.

He will, but they will as well. As long as they both remain reasonable in their demands. Abuse and exploit on the other hand lead to dead ends.

what worries me is environmental refugees. take the greeks - they are a perfect storm: the worst economy in the EU at the moment, but they are also about to deal with the worst oncoming global warming issues. it's a nasty combination - and they're not too likely to discuss it over tea...

There's many places in Greece, (and I guess in other countries as well) where you can be really safe from the extreme environmental changes coming. And really, I don't believe the environmental refugees will be that many. I see more people dying because of denial, instead of thinking clearly and taking the steps to save themselves and their loved ones.
