Just returned from an archaeological trip to Bulgaria. It is an incredibly poor nation, no small towns that are not falling to pieces, no small farmers or their families or farmsteads visible (all the fields were tilled by agribusiness, and large numbers of previously-tilled acres have been deserted by farmers and are returning to forest), its cities bulging with those who have left the countryside, and other European (and American) cities housing the 2 million (out of a total of 9.25 million) who have moved away in the last couple of decades in order to find economic survival.
