Well one things is EU made us close many factories iirc and Godmanis did the same , so all others are going in the goverment more to get payed well and save their buisness rather then help civilians . Im not saying its EU fault but its not USSR or Russias fault either . Too many people are here for the money rather then growth . Plus many people cheat or steal at their work and say if the goverment is corrupt then what does it really matter . So the root of corruption is REALLY DEEP . <| sep |> It ' s actually more racist of CNN to find a token black guy to defend Trump . <| sep |> Lol you sound like me . My freshman year I was 13 and I ' d been running competitively since the fourth grade . Did my first 5 k at six and just kept doing then I guess . My coach is the some one from my old club team , lol . I hold my school ' s freshman record at 1732 right now . Good luck with your track season , 430 is quite the doozy !
