Russian Duma mulling reintroducing the infamous USSR Food Stamps to alleviate poverty
Obviously, there are many Russians who profit from the war and become rich from it. Those who can still afford a holiday in Thailand. The lucky ones who can afford to feast on lobsters and good wine, despite the fact that the ruble has lost 10% of its value against the dollar in a year, and those who still have access to foreign currency. These people are not sent to die on the battlefields in Ukraine, and they certainly do not need food stamps to survive. By the way, true Russian oligarchs, unlike the humble, uneducated and yet enriched Russian commoners and plebeians you enjoy observing, only pair white Burgundy with their Maine lobsters. They would never spoil their Maine lobsters with a cheap, light-bodied red wine. Food stamps are intended for those Russians tightening their belts due to Putin's criminal war. Pensioners, government employees such as teachers, doctors, law enforcement, etc. are among the hardest hit by inflation because their wages and benefits are tied to the official inflation rate. And with the central bank benchmark interest rate at 21%, it is childish to believe that the real inflation stands only at 9%, as the official data suggest. Independent assessments put the inflation closer to 15-16% (with the interesting result that the Russian GDP may not be growing at all, contrary to what the regime would like us to believe). Instead of wasting your time spying on Russians feasting on lobsters and cheap red wine, you'd better spend more time reading, studying and staying informed. Just saying. -

Indian passengers turn Thai AirAsia plane into party zone - video
The problem with indian society is most boys born are reverred. So they grow up spoilt. It's similar in China too. Entitlement is in their DNA due to the upbringing, hence a big lack of empathy. Society in India is aware of this, and by the time parents learn their sons are spoilt brats they are adults and nothing can now be done to rectify. Because of this entitlement many women are often victimes of abuse of all sorts in India, and as a result the vast majority of women take up conservative lifestyles, stay at home, which means men rarely get to interact with women, never mind dating. So when these indian men come to Pattaya it feels like Disneyland for them. The issue is budget for them. As they are low rent tourists. So the technique the employ is to find a Thai lady who will accept them (not always easy as Thais are very racist towards Indians), and then bargain to take the whole group of them (often 5 plus men). The vulnerable Thai lady will often take up the option as she has to pay the bills, and the men get a bargain. It's seedy and disgusting behaviour if you ever witness this in Thailand. They have destroyed many good nightlife areas in Bangkok, as better tourists go elsewhere. Apparently they are now planning to bring indian ladies to dance here in Pattaya, so let's see how that goes. -
