a protracted Cold War between people and government

This segment will describe the apprehended warfare that
is going on in Greece due to the invasion of the Troika.
Greeks, having been overrun by larger nations, are
sizing up their enemy and considering how to react.

The Greeks tend to have their own homes, free and clear
and they are beginning to fear losing their homes. One
source of that fear is a new property tax, paid through
the electricity bill and given to the government.

They already have problems paying for electricity and
heating.
Heating used to be with deisel central heating. Now,
many in Athens have gas. Neither of these combustibles
are cheap enough and so they are also cutting off  their
fuel supply and so in the colds of winter, they burn wood
in a stove. The city stinks of burning wood. Some with
a bit of cash, have electric A/C-heat units for heating.

On the good side, light pollution is
way down as people are having their
electricity cut off as well, willingly. And the
candle business is seeing 10% growth.
And with no A/C unit, power use is way down!

It's a green revolution. thank you politicians!
You will save the world.

more seriously, it's literally a Cold War. brrrrr

The one thing the people are focusing on is keeping their
hard-won home. If the government takes homes
from families, they may as well roast the public
to keep the country warm.
