Greece showed the flaws with the EU.

The good thing is that the EU has improved since then.

On the flip side, Greece is also a great example of how powerful the EU can be. Greece would have absolutely collapsed outside the EU.

So even with the limitations on the EU, Greece did a lot better within the EU than it would have outside.

Global economy seems to be an ocean with Orca whales, they hit and eat alongside with sharks. The citizens turns to meat at same moment their politicians betray them [2], whether caused by ignorance or by malice (corruption).
