I've just been reading an article about Trump's fraudulent finances, and
I'm afraid I read that as 'Stormy Daniels...'.

"Storm Daniel wiped out a quarter of Greece’s annual farming production, a<snip>
"Storm Daniel wiped out a quarter of Greece’s annual farming production, as a result of deadly flash flooding that submerged fields and drowned livestock.
The central region of Thessaly was especially hard hit. Thessaly produces a quarter of the country’s food."
“The agricultural production isn't destroyed just for this year. The thick coat of silt means it is no longer fertile,' he said.
"The once-fertile plain in the region of Thessaly accounts for around a quarter of the country’s wheat and barley, more than 30% of its cotton, chickpeas, lentils and pistachios, one fifth of the country’s hay – used for livestock – and half ofthe agribusiness tomato production, reported Politico."
That's what you call a major disaster, and all the money in the world won't fix it.
People get ugly when they don't have enough to eat.
