Well there also was Poland which managed to escape the black death entirely somehow.
This region is still a bit of an economic powerhouse, though some neighborhoods are getting completely wrecked even still. I do wonder if it's only a matter of time, or if somehow the particular nexus of companies that exist here are sufficiently "essential" that their workers can keep the region more afloat than others.
That video is heartbreaking. I was still a child when this debate happened, and I didn't know at the time just how important this was. I have a sinking feeling, and have had for about 8 years, that this specific election was our last offramp on the road to calamity. I sense a lot of people at the time knew it too, as I recall from the poll numbers https://youtu.be/xQ7kn2-GEmM
If the journey started with the deal with the devil in China, the '92 election was the only opportunity we realistically had to reverse course based on the people we had to choose from in each election.
