Russian Duma mulling reintroducing the infamous USSR Food Stamps to alleviate poverty
Since you are in the mood of studying some data, you can read this interesting article about the quality of the Russian official data (the same used by the World Bank): Poverty and its lines: How the state is manipulating the numbers Or this study published by the Swedish Government: State of the Russian economy examined - Government.se And if you prefer to read a brief explanation of the Swedish researchers' findings, you may read this: Russian economy growing fast during war? Swedish economists beg to differ Based on data from the Russian independent economic research center ROMIR, the real cumulative inflation recorded in Russia from the start of the war is 87%, vs the official Rosstat data of "only 27.1%". By applying the 87% deflator (instead of the official one) to the Russian nominal GDP growth, the result is that the average 3.6 percent real GDP growth since the beginning of the war, turns into a decline of 8.7 percent. Interestingly, Rosstat has never disputed the accuracy of the inflation data published by ROMIR. From November 2024 the ROMIR is simply prohibited from publishing any inflation index, under penalty of prison and hefty fines. Economic data has always been manipulated as part of war propaganda, because naive people tend to believe it, despite the evidence pointing in a different direction. And our evidence is the key interest rate applied by the Russian Central Bank which, at 21%, is incompatible with an 8.5-9% inflation. -

Still love your Country?
I was born in Europe but migrated to Australia many years ago and with a stint to Thailand for a few years but still love Australia as my country. But why are so many Farang's on here complaining about their home country? Most popular post is, it is cheaper, the weather is nice and you can get a young girl and then the bar scene. Oh yes I go back to Thailand twice a year but it is getting complicated to live in Thailand. For example health insurance if you over 70 I get it for free in Australia. Thailand looks the same every where you go, Same houses same Temples. we have better beaches here if you lucky to live near them. But anyway Merry Christmas to al of you and happy new year. -

Chiang Rai actually with a masters degree and relatively light skin, but not everyone can land a bargirl like BarBoy. -
