But he already said he doesn't want more money.
The latest, 7 billion euro loan was declined by Greece. It's all over the news

My point is that each of these "bailouts", like the latest $7 billion euro "loan", don't benefit any actual Greek people.
It's an ECB "loan" that goes from one ECB account directly to another ECB account as "payment" on debt. Exactly zero euros of these go to Greek people.
If I was Tsipras I'd decline these "loans" as well. They do nothing to help Greek people, and they just obscure who is really getting bailed out.

Now that's interesting because the French newspapers didn't mention it at all.
I wish we had a European press.

It seems really hard to sell that. The Guardian Weekly is a good attempt, and it has articles from Le Monde and Washington Post in it regularly as well. Combined with Le Monde Diplomatique (In English), which you could get as hard copy bundled, it gave a much better European view.
Unfortunately they don't sell an electronic copy, which I would certainly subscribe to.

Thank you, I stand corrected.
While you keep working your ass off washing dishes and prostituting your children.
