On Nov 30, 2011, at 12:01 PM, Nicholas Roberts wrote: > We have to hope their New York comrades are more advanced. A friend who went to last night's GA says the process is basically dead. A small gang of lunatics, almost all men, shouted and fought and nothing got done. They're still making policy in some sense, but the real action has shifted to the working groups.

But it could be done. Of course, there'd be a run on Greek banks if it seemed inevitable - there'd have to be limits on withdrawals. (Some of that is already underway.)
