Very glad DJ is treading into global politics now that the 3 potato situation is solved.

Moldova is the next place to watch.

Where does Van live where he can only deposit a few hundred dollars without proving where it comes from?  That’s not the US.

Thanks for the insight. Did you get any sense of whether people might feel oppressed or afraid of the government? That might be hard to get a sense of...

It was difficult to get a sense of that. Very few adults spoke English. Their children are required to learn English. The parents would make them speak to us in English and then take pictures of their kids standing with us. One of the guides I hired through their app broached the subject of politics, asking me about my opinion on Trump and Biden, but I was noncommittal on my answers and deliberately vague as I wasn't sure if politics would be a good thing to discuss over there.

I'm in Sweden. I don't know if the same happens in the US but Police do raodside stops of suspected gang affiliates and take their expensive clothes, and obviously jewellery etc, off them tight there if they can't prove how they paid for them and where the money came from, for example if they are receiving welfare and they shouldn't be able to afford an expensive designer piece of clothing. I think they often also take vehicles registered to someone else, say their mom.

OTOH I don't know anyone who has been audited by the IRS whereas on getbig members said a while back there's little possibility of hiding dirty money if they look at you. But you had a couple of others like I think robc who had been audited but had money in watches they couldn't touch IIRC.

Some sinophiles say the discussions on Chinese social media are very vigorous and what would be called hate speech elsewhere. Now obviously some topics have to be off limits, criticism of the gov and so on. OTOH I read that with the Ukraine war many Russians are extremely critical of their military, even Putin, and some have finally been imprisoned when they kept pushing the overthrow of Putin or whatever. Apparently lots of criticism about Putin being too soft.
