I am from Łódź, Poland. I met a Mongolian woman there. She was doing a PhD in the field of regenerating land after coal mines close. The Łódź Polytechnic deals with he issue. Due to the Bełchatów power plant and brown coal (lignite) mining nearby. The Mongolian woman did her MA at Moscow University in Russian. And was doing her PhD in English, but also had a very good command of Polish

as mongolian, i feel as though we are too used to our current situation that it's hard to come up with solutions. that nomadic mindset of adapting to different environment turned backfired, becoming disadvantage where we grew tolerance over difficult living standards, bad government management.

[@Strollerist]

Nomadic mindset has nothing to do with it. Its just you country is poor af and your government is not capable of affording modern efficent central heating system to its people. I dont think very definition of living standarts even exist in Mongolia. Its pretty much very much same as rural ourkiskirts of big cities all over the world. Only difference is that you have long winter and the rest does not. I am wondering how has not your government stull built electricity grid into those outskirts. If you have that much cheap coal(basically free energy), you should give it to those people for free during winter, even if it costs government at high expense. Cause otherwise your government had to pay pretty much more than double amount of money to its peoples healthcare.

The sad reality is that the Mongolian Government officials sold(stole) most of those coals for cheaper price for over 20 years. This grand theft was exposed recently and people are protesting at the very moment. We could have been next Asian Tiger country like Korea.

They stole billions from the citizens of Mongolia. We cant just blame the officials we also have to blame their family. They knew what was happening yet they just wanted their G class and their Land Cruisers.

[@94benz]

If we want change we also go after their family. Just look at their kids I see them here in LA with their flashy cars and expensive clothes.

a country with rich natural resources and limited choices of occupations, Mongolian lived in a pristine environment working mainly as nomad shepherds .. 100 years ago when they discovered the use of coal and its economic price most of the population altered the grassing profession to a much more rapid income occupation they did rise the family income but sadly cost them Serious Health Issues leaving them to spend their savings toward health services the miners did face tremendous efforts to fulfill their family needs ..Now its the time of the Mongolian Government to Take responsibility of the damage done starting with the Heath symptons of their population to providing essantial life requirments including health , education and residential needs.

There are 3 mines near to that village. I was working for tavan tolgoi for 5 years. When i was going work in every morning there were much dusts that visible to see.

[@patriciamoffat1542]

Now that is what you call "work". Working in a mine nearly 12 hours per day. Absolutely freezing outside. Mongolian people are certainly hardy people. We don't realise what a lazy bunch of pampered individuals we are.

Speak for yourself.

[@NicMediaDesign]

So only hard physical labour in bad conditions is "work" for you? If you think that, you were tricked
