Potential Consequences of a Greek Exit

As the possibility of Greece failing to establish a "pro-Euro" government and leaving the Union rises with every passing day, it is helpful to consider, to the best of our ability, the potential consequences of such an event. Business Insider has compiled a ROUGH guide to such consequences based on the past few months of analysis from various sources. I emphasize the word "rough" because none of these things are certain, and all of the "analysts" of this Greek tragedy are little more than curious speculators at this point (that includes me).

Still, it is very likely that at least a few of the following 14 things will come to pass in some way, shape or form. I chose to leave out three slides from the original article, but you can see them all by following the link in red. Here is Simone Foxman with the potential consequences:
