Just in case you're wondering1, Romanians have been doing all sorts of stupid shit in the last half of a year. I won't bother recounting each item in detail, but it's sufficient to say that from the governing party backing a loser to the other candidate in the turul-doi-that-never-was being ousted by her own party, to all the pantsuits aligning behind the mayor -- well, from this to that, it's all been quite a fucking shit show.
So as a result of the latest "elections", the PSD PM quit and was replaced by his PNL counterpart, and immediately following that, the Euro went up past the 5-lei mark. The reality in the field is finally starting to align to whatever dickpulling you've all been doing in the last few months, and boy, you're not feeling it just yet, but it will hurt.
And really... what else did you think would happen after y'all let some randos in robes fuck up the game? You were too busy scrolling through Ponta's atrocious Instagram ads to notice that the game got fucked, and all it required was a good piss on Iorgovan's work. Do you even remember this guy existed out there in lala-land? I bet you don't2.
Well, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, my dear compatriots, but you've really done it this time. Yes, you've done it, what else do you even think democracy is? Were the state you inhabit not to give you the right to vote, only to take it away from you just like that, you wouldn't have had the responsibility to bear -- y'know, totul în viață se plătește. You thought democracy was just the right to own an iPhone, when, wait, it was more than that; and meanwhile you got lost between a very nasty cough and the war going on in the neighbouring yard, and... what now?
Oh, my dear Romania, there are some very dark skies ahead of you. Let's hope that, in your magnificent stupidity, you don't get electrocuted while trying to climb the tallest tree in the village. May you not end up in shambles.

Which few people do these days, given that there's so very little of importance happening around here. I'm saying this just in case you thought the title was a joke. It isn't and I am going through all sorts of feelings of sadness writing this. But I have to put it down on paper... ↩

Nu v-o zis-o și Simion? E probabil cea mai notabilă chestie pe care a zis-o în ultima vreme: we want piss, we need piss, we will have piss. Sau n-a fost așa? Eh, oricum, ceva cu pișat. Pe voi, în mare. ↩
The cult classic you just got around to seeing had the perfect quote for this:
"Brother, life's a bitch, and she's back in heat."
Truth.
Just for the record, I pictured you putting on the Duke Nukem glasses while saying this.
[...] the underworld can only be helpful nowadays, seeing as how in public diplomacy nobody seems to give two shits about Romania [...]
