This doesn't have that much to do with the reasons proposed in the tweet. It's is simply an indirect result of past socialist policy. In 1970s the puppet president Husak started giving free flats and cars to young families. In 198

If you're interested in the topic of peasants of Europe a great book comes to mind: 'The Peasants' by nobel laureate Władysław Reymont. It describes the life and customs of peasants during the four seasons. We're talking

A little bit too soon to give advice on how to be productive after only two months. You haven't conquered laziness unless you're consistently productive over the course of the years and that state becomes your normal. Most people
