@nichni You mean the terrible terrible 40 years when everybody had a job, nobody was homeless, rent and bread were cheap and daycare/preschool/kindergarten/after school care were free and guaranteed?

  Me: People were not unemployed and living in existential dread of losing their job and that’s why they might have quite liked that time period

  @GreenSkyOverMe @nichni that's quite rose colored, considering most businesses in East Germany were not even bringing in enough revenue to keep business up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_East_Germany&wprov=rarw1

    History of East Germany
    
    The German Democratic Republic (GDR), German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR), often known in English as East Germany, existed from 1949 to 1990. It covered the area of the present-day German states of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, Berlin (excluding West Berlin), Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, and Thüringen. This area was occupied by the Soviet Union at the end of World War II excluding the former eastern lands annexed by Poland and the Soviet Union, with the remaining German territory to the west occupied by the British, American, and French armies.
