i’m at $2.62 basis right now after I got in slightly over $3 and bought some more on the mini tumble. I received a small windfall inheritance and had 50K out of the blue. And where did that surprise money need to go?- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Watching Constantine’s Wednesday economic report, he reminded me of of a different aspect of people taking all their money out. When the Russian people know they are about to be fucked by the government, they try to take out as many rubles as possible, and buy euros and American dollars. They know there is a real possibility that rubles will be massively devalued, and you don’t want to be left with rubles in the bank. One, they might create some rule that just takes your money or limits the amount of money you can withdraw. Second, the bank might fail, or if not fail, may simply suspend banking until such time as the central bank gives it more money. Either way the customer has no access to the rubles. Constantine was contacted by cold call salespeople who thought he still lived in Russia - both a Lada salesman and a real estate agent in Moscow who were desperate to make a sale, offering up to 50% discount on the Lada, and a condo with payments not due until late 2026, with assistance reducing the interest rate of the mortgage if he chose to borrow. One admitted that everyone was going bankrupt and out of business and nobody was buying anything - so now was the time to get the great discounts. TL;DR - The great Special Operation enshittening is finally affecting every aspect of Russian economic life- All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread

I had great luck renting to military personnel. They did not get suddenly laid off, and as a general rule they kept things clean. And the one renter who would not pay on time had a visit with the base commander - who I had recently spoken with. That was the last time I was paid late. If they would have caused damage, I also always knew how to find them.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
if the price of everything keeps going up, and there are already shortages of some things, it makes sense to take all your money out and buy as many things as humanly possible while they are still available and at a lower price point. I assume they would focus on food, as having money to buy food - but no food available - is worse than food being available and not having money. People can borrow money from friends or family, or beg, or trade work for food, or sex for food, or steal food, but there is not a damn thing you can do when there is no food but starve.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Russia has had significant recent crop failures and harvest reductions. Since the war started, Russia has not had access to the genetically modified seed grain from the Netherlands that it uses for its bumper harvests. The economy is imploding. Even Russia economists say that the economy has stopped growing. The men who had the jobs that kept the economy going have been shipped off to the meat grinder. The other men fled when prescription was first called. Businesses have to borrow money at interest rate rates up to the 20s and 30s. Even military contractors who should be rolling in cash are nearing bankruptcy from the corruption siphoning off all those MOD funds. They can’t supply gas to businesses and people who want to drive their shitty cars. Russian history seems to support that the long-suffering people will put up with anything - until they don’t. Honestly, I’m as positive about this as I have been in some time. Russia moves things by train rather than the Russian equivalent of an 18 wheeler. Ukraine needs to start hitting more trains and train tracks and railroad bridges.- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
I assume there will be an executive order that seizes/stops Social Security benefits to traitors to the administration who leave the country and take money out… making them traitors to the country. Grok will review emails and recorded phone calls and social media to see who gets cut-off… at least until they force ex-pats to return to sign their loyalty oaths. Allowing some to be arrested and their assets seized so that they don’t cause problems for Trump in those other shit-hole countries.- Our Robot Overlords Coming

it is very true we gave them a ton of stuff, including a ton of stuff that was sunk by the Germans on the way there. But the waves of human mine sweepers was all on the Soviet Union - and it’s policy of “quantity having a quality all its own”- The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

Since they can’t vote for Trump again - or they won’t need to vote again because dictator gonna dictator - why on earth would Trump bail them out? It would make far more sense for Elon (who I think was just given a $1 trillion compensation package) and other oligarchs to buy up all the failed farms for .10 on the dollar.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
I’m reposting the map from last week showing the “major” oil refineries and their location. Note that Kirishi is at the top of the map. I wonder whether they flew the drones all the way over Belarus - or stayed in Russian territory the whole time.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Sports fans, that’s 160,000 barrels a day that are not being produced - at the exact same time Russia is unable to supply gas to all its citizens and businesses.- Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
And speaking of coffee, I bought six of those giant Starbucks bags of whole beans at Sam’s last month. The Winn-Dixie near me went out of business this summer, and in addition to scoring a bunch of 50% off wine I bought the last four large cans of Black Silk coffee at a 70% discount. I don’t normally buy pre-ground, but there is no way on God’s green earth I can function without a large amount of coffee every day.- Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
My Manservant says that the foie gras prices are now unacceptable. He is wrong. They are fine. What is NOT fine is his subtle passive-aggressive display of unhappiness when advised that his Christmas bonus will be his continued employment.- Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening

My monthly healthcare cost is around $700. True, my IRMAA increases that some, but I have no idea how people on a fixed income can deal with that. Now a whole lot of people will be losing their healthcare benefits along with their employment. And then there is the big shitty bill taking 10 million people off of Medicaid. They will kick in after the midterm elections. What a coincidence. The recession should be full on by November 2026, and 2027 should be an actual shit show for the country with lots of hungry and homeless people. The good news is that according to Fox News we can just kill the homeless and problem solved. - Русский корабль - иди нахуй
