Wow, not one positive comment so far. I guess the American dream really is dead. Feels like Eastern Europe.
A man goes to hell and upon arrival sees two giant boiling
cauldrons - one with a large detail of devils, and one completely unattended. The man inquires about the cauldrons and a helpful devil explains: "One is a Russian cauldron, another one is American one. The American one needs serious attention, because when Americans try to escape, they all start helping each other,and it really is a bitch trying to beat them back in. TheRussian one, we just leave it alone, when a Russian tries to escape - the other Russians pull him back in.
- larodi 7y agoYou may well be assured Eastern Europe seems quite different at present moment from what you described now with lots of IT money pouring in nearly every single EE country, many countries tax less than 30% on salaries, and less than or around 20% in corporate tax. So maybe pick another place to relate with.
- zpeti 7y agoI was going to include this in the post but then forgot :) I live there, so I know, you are right.
- calmworm 7y agoOld anti-communist propaganda?
- krageon 7y agoDoes not being positive about the sort of self-help drivel everyone has seen a million times before equate to being "like Eastern Europe" (which is apparently based on old state propaganda in the guise of a joke)?
- lioeters 7y agoI'm thinking, a more accurate picture would be that the American cauldron also doesn't need any devils: the few that manage to get out will conspire to make sure the others stay in.
