[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in a former Eastern Bloc country for several years. Things are feeling a little too much like my time there now. Like, we’re not totally there, not even close, but we’re careening towards it purposefully, which is pretty disturbing.

Attacks on civil servants/rule of law, food shortages, random acts of political violence, massive corruption by the ruling class, a weak civil society, frequent distractions (good and bad) to keep the public distracted and pacified, brain drain so that the best and brightest get the hell out— yeah, we’re going that route, unfortunately. I don’t understand why people would choose these things but I also think they don’t know how good we had it. For a time. [/quote]

I went to Target to buy a fan and got a few groceries.   I don’t know why but their frozen foods were 95% empty.    I thought of the former Soviet Union for a minute, how they lived like that.   I don’t use eggs but I feel bad for breakfast diners and restaurants.   They use a lot of eggs.  [/quote]
