Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Income dropped again. Probably accounting error. 2146 on Feb 12, 2144 on Feb 13.
That isn’t growth. It’s contraction. The official 2025 inflation rate is higher than that.
I’m curious as to what construction spending was in 2021. Official cumulative inflation, which is…low, is something like 40% from 2022 to today.

Because she’s very qualified and Ukrainian-Canadian.
She isn’t the first. A Ukrainian-American was Minister of Finance from 2014-2016.
Is there an industry wide passenger count? Curious to see how all of russian airlines are doing as a whole.
Oh God please yes.
This was also when I realized I had been working at that job since before both of them were born.
Not that long ago I was working with a couple of new hires and while in a zoom conference call I realized they had no idea what the Brady Bunch was.
You volunteer to provide an incredibly useful service. The key word is volunteer.
I think we're all ok with you doing whatever's necessary to make sure you don't have to do this while being forced to live in a cardboard box. Or doing whatever else you need to do, period. Thank you for what you do.
Looks like refinery hunting season is on again.

This is literally the first footage I've watched from the Olympics this year and honestly I'm not sure I need to see anymore.
Something that I don't think has gotten enough attention is that due to the frosts in Russia the heating bills rose by 50-100% all over the place, so did utilities in some cases:

Or, as it was known when I came home from school, "Star Blazers."
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
It's not ignorance. They can tell the difference, they just pretend there isn't one because "Ukrainian isn't a real language," so it has to be "Polish."
Fun fact: there's russian disinfo that revolves around the claim that since "Ukrainian isn't a real language," when they hear Ukrainian, they're actually listening to "Polish." Hence it has to be "Polish mercenaries" when they hear Ukrainian radio chatter, etc.
Whatever works for you.
For most of human history this kind of effort was only done either by researchers long after the fact or by military personnel who were ordered to and paid to do it. You guys have been volunteering to do this in real time for four years. You run this show however you want.
Just so everyone's aware of what this is saying:
After adjusting for even the criminally underreported inflation rate and including the tax increases, russia made *less money* from non-oil and gas revenues than they did last year at the same time.
And as suppliers of heavy trucks and equipment to the military, they're a *defense contractor* that lost 37 billion rubles last year.
You have businesses asking to be bailed out, and government agencies are responding by asking consumers to not spend money.
Which should help the businesses that need the money to no end.
I think the banking crunch is a bit worse than they're letting on.
Holy crap. Istrebin posted the % changes on Telegram and once you plug it in…that’s amazing.
I am so looking forward to your next update. 💥🚂
You could, but that would make Mike Johnson President.
I mean, if you're in for a penny...
Such blatant corruption — which the media will, of course, totally ignore.
A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week.
Go Seahawks.
read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000
