I’m new to this idea and a Google girl so I’m interested in learning more. I’m not good with tech, but if it’s necessary I’ll do it as much as I can.

    Of course! It’s not just a black market, employers need to give incentives to work hard. And it encourages government bribes.

    And yes, however noble the idea, the kind of people attracted to powerful positions often aren’t nice people.

    Trusting nobody is a hard way to live. How did the DDR effect you long term?

      Quite bad tbh. We managed to emigrate in 98. But the distrust in others, what can you say to who, etc stayed as a reflex that requires cognitive recognition, and therapy, to lessen. I think of it like a light version of split personality.

        I get that totally. Things learned in childhood are hard to unlearn. Thanks for sharing it’s interesting and made me sure I want to start degoogling. I do NOT want to give people that power over me
