it’s also the mentality people have from Eastern Europe

yeah life sucks, you’re poor as fuck, government sucks and is corrupt, but people are going to be helpful - in part because they are banking on you helping them when they’re in need

plus the opportunity to come to America is like winning the lottery since even American minimum wage is rich compared to the pay in Ukraine so there’s a desire to repay the favor somehow

I think there are meds that help with that but don't cause the emotional issues to that degree (mostly because they have such a short half life that they leave your body and you just take it before you have sex). It's relatively recent but I don't know if insurance would cover.
