I'm so sorry, Rebecca. This isn't good news for the Romanian people. However, I like what you say about creating and existing in your own reality. Do you have waves of immigrants coming into the country yet? The UK and Ireland have been absolutely flooded during the past couple of years. I don't know how the countries absorb that many people at once. It's being done to bolster liberal votes in future elections here in the US and I imagine it's the same goal for other countries throughout the world. Trump has made it a priority to fix the border crisis here but there's a lot more work to do.
I feel the same way about our political parties, I don't really like or trust either one but have to try to discern which of the two are the lessor of the two evils. I've felt that way for a little more than a decade now.
We do have Asia immigrants brought here on menial jobs and shitty pay. Thankfully, they're not a problem yet as many, I believe, come here only to try and reach Western Europe. As many countries are tightening their borders I guess we'll be stuck with them at some point.
Your perfectly right about political parties. I don't trust any of them and I chose to vote for the lesser of two evils. In our case, the evil we don't know versus the evil we've had to deal with for the past 30 years.
The larger waves are being sent where the social systems are the most generous. The Scandinavian countries have been greatly impacted—crime rates have skyrocketed and welfare programs have nearly maxed out (at least according to our media).
I'm curious to see where America will be getting our cheap labor once the border situation is fixed. Both parties have known for decades that illegals have been streaming into the country and exploited these people for cheap labor. Maybe the companies will be forced to pay livable wages for a while? If so, the costs will be passed onto the consumers. Soon robots will fill that void but we're about 3-5 years from this.
From what I'm seeing so far a lot of corruption and fraud is being uncovered. Whether or not anything meaningful is done about it is another story.
