[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4219591, member: 27098"] Why the heck is it so hard to believe that the price of groceries in russia is so inexpensive and ours is so high? Why is it difficult to see that their standard of living may be higher? You are thinking in terms taught in the 50's and 60's. Much has changed: 1) russia is more capitalistic today 2) russia has low taxes 3) russia produces basic materials the world needs, oil, natural gas, precious metals 4) the war in ukraine is great for their economy, the price of oil and natural gas has gone up substantially 5) russia is in deep with gold and a gold standard currency. I am not pro russia or putin, but our gov't and banking "leaders" are power hungry incompetant morons, that's why we're suffering. "They" want you to believe russia's economy is doing badly, so that you believe victory in ukraine is just around the corner and they can continue this moronic war and give billions to ukraine.
