Country in search of firefly

America's decission to ellect Trump as their new president created an interesting and intriguing wave of anti-trump supporters around Europe. The situation in Romania is the one I tried to examine and in doing so I managed to outline the two most important ellements that draged down the country since the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, corruption and lack of education. The ~elite~ of the country was not capable to withstand the tempations of taking easy and unearned money in exchange for factories they had no desire (and knowledge) to modernize and make competitive. The state, the biggest buyer, began choosing products form outside because the ones signing the contracts for these products got some easy money that way. The other ellement is the educated young and urban people who are most often educated fools mainly because of the way the system devolved.
