    An acquaintance of mine lived in Romania in her 20's. You'd think she'd be the perfect critic of the government, being a university-educated woman.

    But no, she's all "The policies were stunningly dumb, especially around children, Ceaușescu was widely despised, and the economy had serious flaws at times, but despite this the system worked, and it's the only time in my entire life I felt safe and optimistic about the future."
