Pessimipantsies
There is something that lurks behind the wall of everyday life in the IRI. Sometimes, there is a sense of movement that has gone, over many decades, paralyzed in its own wake. Sometimes it is the stagnation of the stock market, the slowly bludgeoned property values, the ever-present slovenly commerce and trade, the distrust…Sometimes; it’s the growing fear of being crushed, on your way to vacation, by a dreadfully gigantic and sluggish Truck (“Kamiune”) and the probability that there will be no emergency aid until you are long gone.

Why should we (they, actually) have to feed their children with subsidized government milk (distributed during class, twice a week) that consists mostly of water and powdered milk imported from places other than IRI utters.
