Russia could give a shit about their civilians. Send them to the meat grinder! Garbage country, they deserve so much better.
Why do Russian elites hate their people so much?
They get the killed in wars, they want to overwork them, …
That’s what they’ve done for hundreds of years with their serfs. Seems to still work…
With all that technology, 6 hours should be the new norm like decades ago, but billionaires must double their wealth every few years…
People in this thread think they are protected from this happening with them, while being governed by the same rules and principles. You disgust me.
YOU FIRST.
German chancellor Friedrich Merz likes that.
Don’t give Fotzenfritz ideas. He’ll hear it, get all jealous and demand a 36-hour workday.
Sounds like America, except we also depend on war for our economy
Putin’s kleptocracy didn’t succeed (never had the intention either, as for any kleptocracy) in creating or facilitating of any high tech company with a global reach - like IBM, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Amazon etc.
Instead, Putin has been smashing businesses: Yukos (an independent oil company, though) or, more recently, effectively expropriated Yandex or VK. The founders of these businesses had to leave (flee) the country too.
Russian billionaire
economic crisis
12-hour workday
🤢
Would love to see them try to implement them. People will throw them out of the highest windows they can find.
Following Merz’s footsteps, I see
Does he live in an apartment?
Is there a possibility of falling 8 floors down?
With Russian windows it’s always a possibility
Russians will happily work 20-hour workdays if it helps mother Russia wage wars on their imagined enemies.
I read 12 hours / week and thought damn Russians are progressive out of the sudden 💀
How can you have a billionaire and and economic crisis?
The billionaire is the economic crisis
Is the economic crisis in the room with us right now?
I was being a bit tongue in cheek.
I’m pretty sure, that getting rid of one will also remove the other.
That’s how they tried “fixing things” in the post tzar Russia (and got themselves the USSR). The “communism” has never really worked anywhere.
I’m sure there are many more examples of “let’s eat the rich”/“kill all the wrong ones” - getting all f. up.
“And the sooner we switch to this new schedule—from 8 AM to 8 AM, including Saturdays—the faster we will undergo this transformation.”
Plus a six day workweek.
So just another 996
Reminder: When the billionaire says “we,” they mean you.
Reminder: When the billionaire says “it’s good for the economy,” you are not the economy.
Property doesn’t need days off, make it Sunday too B) /s
Tbh, if we gave property sufficient time off (in the form of crop rotation and fallow years), our agricultural system would be a lot more sustainable.
One can dream
And this plan will take only five years. As a matter of fact, we should call it a five-year plan.
72 h/week.
I have another proposal: 99% taxes above $1 million (equivalent) of income, including ALL income.
So, I don’t know how things work in specifically Russia, but in general, I think that it’s not so much the level of taxation as it is loopholes.
For example, can the companies that he controls be directed to lend him money on terms that he directs without it being taxed by the Russian state?
More-broadly, I’d guess that it would be exceptionally difficult to impose taxes on specifically him, because he’s buddies with Putin and tied up in control of the country. If the system is actively interested in avoiding taxing you, it’s likely going to find ways to not do so.
