German digital signage ban prompts confusion
Interesting to see most of Western Europe go where we, Romania, were back in the 1980s under Ceausescu.<p>Just today I was thinking about how one of my fondest memories as a kid (because it involves me, my parents and our home from back then) is of my dad teaching 5 or 6-year old me how many stairs there were in our block of apartments between two consecutive flors, so that I could use them even after the sun was down, cause said staircase wasn&#x27;t lit. And then how proud I felt when I was managing to go up and down on those stairs (we were living on the last floor, the 4th) at night, only by &quot;feeling&quot; and counting the stairs in my head (at some point the counting became an &quot;instinct&quot;, I was not even actively doing the counting anymore). This was all happening in the second part of the &#x27;80s.<p>With all that said, I&#x27;m honestly not that sure that today&#x27;s Western Europeans are mentally prepared to go through what we, Romanians, went through back then.
