> You can live like a king with those kinds of salaries in Bulgaria, but you'll be surrounded by shitty infrastructure, non-existing government and all other types of shit that people like me that have left don't want to deal with.

No roads? Why not to build one?

Road building was synonymic with mafia from even before the USSR collapse in Russia.

So, my father, back in mid-late nineties simply imported equipment from China, hired labourers, built the road for our village for 1/8th of what the mafia asked, and then sold the equipment on the open market.

Money is power. Don't be ashamed to use it for the right cause.
