    Yes. You are the only one who feels disconnected.

    This is because you are a socialist in disguise. I suggest you either give all your money to Scientology or as a socialist **** off to SocialistWorkers.org

      I have never been accused of being generous and I feel no inclination to donate any funds to anyone.

      Rest assured when you go to bed.

      And I am also not a Socialist.

                In Russia you normally get a piss-poor 'official' salary and the rest bunged under the table to avoid paying tax. In dollars, around $200-$500 a month. But, as most of an age now wholly own a free flat as a gift from the Former Soviet Union on collapse, and as the korpuses are heated and lit centrally for the most part with no discernible metering I've seen, that salary is mostly disposable. Or rather saved to augment the meagre pension. But you get to retire at 55, three years after you are dead....

                    I can vouch for that, in Berlin the cost of living is a somewhat cheaper. However don't expect to buy your sung to sleep farm reared corn fed chicken when you get there.

                      In Berlin we managed to wangle a suite in the Hotel Berlin for 35 Euro a night - bloody breakfast cost more but we wangled that somehow - current Ms stek speaks fluent German so she did her stuff - 7 Euro each ISTR....

                      If I had a contract in Berlin I'd quite happily like my life out in that hotel....

                      Berlin is my fave city, dunno why - just is!
