What is the "company itself" if not its owners (private equity company that is)? Everything else is just an asset of it. If they see a way to maximise profit by draining the company that's better than any other one, why not?

But this is a rare case where Russians are put into a fight in a situation where they are deprived of their only advantage: low value put on a human life in Russia both for cultural reasons (it's a political, and thus cultural, descend

This is the best thing we can wish for. These low-tech, mass-slaughter conflicts put Russians at severe disadvantage because of their low birth rates. A good "sink" for baddies where they disappear without a trace.

Not really. Except Moscow and St. Pete and a few oil-rich boomtowns, the rest of Russia never enjoyed living standards as high as today that only exist because of war economy jobs, war-induced worker shortage in the private sector, and mone

In a way yes. Because running out of money will mean running out of people faster as they will use cheaper simpler tech that increases their casualty rate. Let's face it: Russia can't stop, their whole society is war-oriented and

Brutal math is that there are 25M men in 18..50 years range in Russia, with 700K entering that range and 700K ageing out each year, so number is stable (both figures will be increasing approximately in sync over the next 10 years, to about

Well, regardless of what government does, renewables will eventually price out oil and gas. And the government and the megacorps will be on their side because that way they will be making more money. Not before. No one is trying to limit re

But these shouldn't be in contradiction. Oil and gas will end when they will be unprofitable, priced out by much cheaper renewables. Of course this will result in more and cheaper stuff and energy, boost economic growth rates not suppr

Because people with titles of nobility were forbidden from participating in business at the risk of losing their titles; projecting to modern era, they'd be also forbidden from owning stocks at all. They must derive their means of exis

Sounds like nice car marketing: sell everyone two cars instead of one. Efficiency doesn't matter much with EVs: only ~28% of power is produced with fossil fuels in EU and that's expected to further halve by 2030. There's enou

Indeed the very foundational idea of Republican system ("no titles of nobility") makes this inevitable. It doesn't happen on similar scale in Europe simply because our stocks are shit and can't be profited much in any ca

Indeed: promote electric cars: it's fine if they will be massive, if consumers love them, why force them to do otherwise? Tax ICE powered SUVs and trucks heavily but spare electric ones and give people one more incentive to switch.

So it's November 2027, almost another 2 years? Of course, volumes imported now are mostly symbolic, around 1/10 of pre-war maximums, but still...

Too much demand, all of a sudden. Money got printed and i went from near bankruptcy in mid-Feb 2020 to being awash with money by mid-June. And it continued growing nonstop all the way through ~early Sep 2024, and been slowing down ever sinc

Interesting. I agree that this has been a hard year, hardest in a decade. But comparison with 2020 is just surprising. I mean, in 2020 crazy amounts of money were just thrown around left and right no? For me, it was the easiest year of my c

Indeed. In fact, unaffordability is the whole point. Main problem with the affordable housing is that it attracts the people who seek affordable housing.

If we made a similar comparison to the SP500 index since its inception in 1926, and made a chart of total returns difference over 1 year sliding window, between index and index minus it's top 7 performing stocks, i bet we will see this

Well, you either get nice but prohibitively expensive places that also look and function like segregation tools increasing and perpetuating inequality, or you get slums that get progressively worsened simply as the time passes. Is there eve

Energy transition by now, firmly entered the "involution" phase where it happens even if no one will like it anymore. Hungary is a notorious far right state where government and the people must despise both renewable energy and it

From Wegovy itself? Naturally so, while actively losing weight - before it reached equilibrium so for first 5-7 months - i did, everyone does. When losing weight as quickly as that, the body assumes that "i've got almost no food a

My personal experience (i was a rather heavy drinker for decades) is not that you quit drinking, but you simply don't want to drink a lot. 2 glasses of wine and you don't want more. A few times in a company of friends i felt compe

They aren't not drinking because of health risks. Obesity rates among them are higher than among X-ers in their age. They aren't drinking because drinking is a social thing and they are asocial and stuck at home glued to their scr

Mindblowing that this one-of-a-kind, historical milestone machine made by a genius, is worth 3x less than a goddamn comic magazine.

Homophobia sucks massive dick. It doesn't take being gay to despise people who's collective "wisdom" subjects millions to lifelong suffering like that.

I'm sure they will have a chance and drug-based solution does that too. People on Ozempic are not attracted by junk food. Given how many obese people are out there, when Ozempic becomes cheap AND becomes mandatory for overweight people
