@woocassh What did you end up using for auth?

@KyleMau If you want to play on hard/er settings, come to Romania.

@adamlyttleapps How does web2app work? Is the account created during the signup and they login using the app?

@thealepalombo San Diego has the perfect climate. Hands down.

@HSchenewark Do you have to sweep the parking lot first? I saw a lot of leaves in the videos.

[Emilian @springmerchant]

@CStreza Come on dude. You know it's a failed project.

[Emilian @springmerchant]

@LauraLoomer Now do Cernovich.

@vinibarbosabr I told people to stay away from egld a few years back. A lot of people were delusional though thinking it will go to 5K from 500 or whatever ridiculous price it was at the time.

@Simply_Shula Can you add domestic violence too? People forget about that.

[Emilian @springmerchant]

You touched on this in the post, but a lot of companies want to do business with the government. There's plenty of construction companies, IT companies that work only with the state winning a bunch of contracts. They wouldn't survive without that.

If you know somebody on the inside, like a mayor or a local councilor you can pretty much win any gov. contracts. You might need to setup a no-show or no-work job for somebody's cousin though.

Corruption is everywhere in Romania. You will not be doing business without paying somebody: be it the mayor, his cronies, or various government agencies.

Most wage growth happened pre-pandemic. After that I haven't see much going on. Public employees such as teachers did get a 20 or 30% bump in 2024 which also skews statistics.

Stock market lacks liquidity outside of top names (BT, Petrom, Romgaz/Transgaz etc.). It is also much smaller than Poland. Corruption is rife at these companies with plenty of no-show or no work jobs.

Huge demographic problems, population getting older, not enough workers.

@MacroJason Building management is at least 100 euros a month.

@stevehunsaker1 Probably lost his shine when he peddled NFTs to his followers. "So hear me out this is the best opportunity, you have to buy these Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs..It's images, but it is all on the blockchain"

@yourealazyfvck What about self employment taxes

[Emilian @springmerchant]

@Rainytuesday3 @HTTGTCL_NPC @AdrianP_doc Sure it is. Keep living in that fantasy.

@totalnogdth2 @LucianSarbu Nu se vrea nici la gunoi, nici la curatat stradal, nici la inrijit de batrani, si multe altele.

@exastrissci @og_Stefan_H @AdrianP_doc Just VAT fraud is around 8 or 9 billion dollars.

[Emilian @springmerchant]

@ergonautas @og_Stefan_H @AdrianP_doc You do realize just VAT fraud is in the order of billions of euros? Then you have energy fraud (Hidroelectrica), insurance fraud (CityInsurance + Euroins moving money to Bulgaria), special pensions etc.

[Emilian @springmerchant]

@annexpol @PaulConRO Yes, it's much better than a decade ago.

[Emilian @springmerchant]

@LucianSarbu It's the truth though. Just ask young people if they want to work at McDonalds, or Mega Image stocking shelves or at a restaurant. They all feel like those jobs are beneath them.
