[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3870487, member: 56035"] so my coworker used to live in "communist" romania so i asked him some questions: -theres more homeless in here than in communist romania. -not really any surprise but he said workers work as hard there as they do here aka pretending to work -you had a right to a job (which is what FDR proposed also before he died) so unemployment was very low -it took 30 years to afford a car -there was no passports so you had to escape if you wanted to leave. at least we can leave here, but lets not kid ourselves that govts restrict free movement of people but not capital. -the shelves were empty, so people saved all their money. -some people took out 30 year mortgages. -he said they didnt have recessions like we do here because everything was planned. ______________________ now having said all this, asking average people what life is like in a country they live in isnt always gonna give you the same answer. theres alot of things my dad thinks he knows but doesnt actually. ditto for BC members who think the economy is bad OR some who think its good.
