3rd world stories thread?
- My grandma told me that during the 60s it was considered "cool" to make clothes out of US foreign aid sacks.
- My parents didn't have plumbing while growing up (in the late 70s) and my father once fell into the septic tank as a kid. He's in his 50s now and still suffers from psychological constipation due to the trauma.

My father had to do his medical social service in the north of Mexico, he couldn't drive and didn't had a car so he walked along the highway between towns, he befriended a small army garrison who taught him how to drive using their jeep

Fire and police are funded via tax revenue.
Sounds based. After all, Pinochet supported true freedom.
my grandpa almost got executed in the dictatorship
That's even worse
Here every settlement has voluntary firemen unit consisted of its citizens. Professional firemen are very rare
We have volunteer fire departments too, but they still need equipment and trucks.
I fell into a septic well when I was 3 years old. No recollection, so I have to trust me mum on this.
Yeah but not that much. A lot of equipment we have is 30 years old or more

Same.
Only major cities employ a small number of professional firemen, 95% of them are volunteers. Fire stations and equipment are paid for by the government though of course.
In some rich towns fire stations are almost luxurious thanks to donations by local people and businesses kek
Facho pobre
Ok
Federal government workers in Canada have gone months without being paid. Canada is not a third world country, but this is the sort of thing I would expect to happen in Venezuela or Zimbabwe
Why don't they just stop going to work?

What does the town witch do?
My mom's sister's husband's brother "disappeared" and the gov't raided their homes looking for Communist literature in Canelones.
My mom however was surprisingly anti-communist then and still is today.

my grandpa only got eletricity in his house in 1990 and he was the first to have a refrigerator in his village
My uncle was interviewed by the local newspaper because he was the first to have a computer in his town.... in 1994.
my grandpa and grandma came from the northeast of Brazil to Sao paulo in a pau de arara (pic related)took him more than 6 months to arrive in a distance of only 3000km
That sounds oddly comfy.
