Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You would be wrong about that. My parents live in Russia and the services are fine. My mom can get an ambulance with a Doctor to come to her house for free whenever she feels ill. In the US, I would pay an arm and a leg for an ambulance without a doctor. That’s part of the problem, actually - life is decent in Russia, at least in Moscow, so people don’t rebel.

Also, “unprecedented information” doesn’t apply. It’s literally illegal to access this information in Russia. My mom has a VPN cause I had one set up for her. Otherwise she would be cut off from the outside world. She has a dummy phone without any forbidden apps that she takes with her on walks. Young people figure out a way, but anyone who is not tech savvy is fucked.
