Hi, I'm sad to see I missed an opportunity to meet someone I follow on Substack. Especially when they find our small country here on the east side (southeast) of the Alps. I live 8min from the airport on top floor and I have those mountains in view all the time. And I see you saw the beauty with your own eyes. But fo rme, living here, when I went to live in Manchester UK for 6 years, it's more than just a view. I can't live without it. Especially when I walk up those mountains now a lot (just been to 1715m peak 2x this weekend). The nature, the calm, the cliffs that make my stomach twist when looking down from the edge...

The politics? In a nutshell, after breaking away from Yugoslavia, the politicians who were all members of communist party just mainly rebranded themselves as "Social Democrats". And got us away from the reign of Belgrade and into the reign of Brussels. The people are split between left and right and it's not getting any better, so the sensible people that really want change for the better (regardless of left or right) don't even have a decent alternative that would be able to break this. Politicians just steal taxpayer money like it's their constitutional right, and left and right just spit at each other, but no one is ever responsible.
