SPATA, Greece (AP) — In an olive grove on the outskirts of Athens, grower Konstantinos Markou pushes aside the shoots of new growth to reveal the stump of a tree — a roughly 150-year-old specimen, he said, that was among 15 cut down on his neighbor’s land by thieves eager to turn it into money.

    Unemployment is over 10% and was over 20% in 2015, poverty is over 20%, farms are fucking expensive, these people are better off than a big chunk of the population.

      So anyone’s who’s even just a little bit better off than you is fair game? If you have a bicycle but your neighbor has two then you can freely steal his bicycle?

        In a fair system the neighbor wouldn’t have more than one bike if not everyone can have more than one bike.

        Heck, that’s the way children are raised with their siblings but as soon as we reach a certain age it’s like people just forget what they taught their kids for years.
