I hope EU steps up and props Ukraine long enough for Russia to collapse. The cracks are showing but the americans just had to be traitors.

We had a blanket ban on abortion/contraception in the 60s in Romania and while initially there was a boom in newborns, it eventually reverted to the norm even if the ban wasn't lifted. So I'm not so sure about that.

You are very optimist people will still have kids in this situation.

Sadly what started as a people's revolution got deturned into a coup d'etat back then: the old guard of the Securitate and high echelon of the Communist party continued (and still continues to a high degree) to have most of the power.

Eh, more or less. I’ll probably be able to afford one in about a year (with a loan ofc), but I make almost double the median salary.

This looks really interesting, is there any catch?

Great work buddy, keep going!

Happy birthday! Thanks for your service and hope you enjoy your day.

Maybe they don’t want to complicate things trying to go with 0 downtime? Even though depending on how proper their infra is that might not be that hard.

I’m really curious how the new CEO will change things.

Yup, Georgescu and supposedly some of the secret service/army were planning a violent coup d’etat. Looks like for now we avoided that.

The service itself is not great, especially in smaller cities, but it’s quite cheap compared to private healthcare and in big cities you actually have decent to good treatment. My dad has treatable diabetes (doesn’t require insulin) and spends something like 50 euros a month for them. Not free, but affordable.

Bad part of Romania is the rampant corruption and lack of infrastructure. It’s gotten better the past years but still behind western countries.
