US Presidential Election

Most people are concerned about the economy, how to put bread on the table so to speak. Families making under 100k USD mostly voted Trump. And Dems just feeling good and elitist.

Also places under Dem rules are becoming unsafe, San Francisco… Glad I was there enough times, no way I am going there even if I got paid to do so.

It is great for the U.S economy for sure. Less tax, more tariff and increased in-house production.
As for the rest of the world, we have wait. He sure will have a better international diplomacy than Biden and Kamala.

He needs to stop Temu/Shein etc to ship stuff to USA without tariffs first. My customers need to pay like 15% to get imported legally while direct from China stuff is tax free…?

I think it is good strategy. As the rubles were pouring into the country leading to inflation, this will help them keep their spending power stable and not devalue even more than before.

I have to emphasize that government spending does increase GDP, which in this case is true. But just bcs the state decides to spend more doesn’t mean that the economy is doing great.

@JAAJ

why do you keep doing that ?

then why the F are you giving me data about PPP in dollars ?

If it means nothing, then why you brought it up to defend your argument ?

To justify their economy is growing, when I say GDP growth was based on import loss.

yeah, survival.

But you can’t tell me you’re so rich you quit “excess consumption” to focus on survival.

anyway, let’s just say I was wrong and end this

Ya have 25.000 tanks

Ya need 50.000 more

You place orders for 50.000 more tanks. Tank makers make them, it’s new production (and extraction of natural resources, which lower your stock, but gives work, indeed) Arm Race is cool to dope your economy now

GDP goes stonks, indeed, but what about well-being? (Tank Maker Well-being aside)

You can also build ghost town, and dig huge holes, boost gdp in the short run, but that’s not growth in the broader sense.

More worrying still is their demographic

People will act like Russians doing so great. Would you rather be the average Russian or the average German ?

As if young Russian don’t want video games and pizzas and cars

That’s a shared burden unfortunately

Exactly my thoughts…

Young people is the most valuable asset for the country.

But if millions of young people fly away abroad or die in the battle?..

I wonder what “the masterminds” plan to do with it, you cannot be a big empire, “Russia Great”, with decreasing and aging population.

Unless they wish to import half of Africa and Middle East in there, lol.

Yeah, same old people telling me about how great it is in Russia. The hard life etc. They would run and escape. They can’t be bothered to drive their car to pickup food at a window because they are « tired »

As if young Russians are happy to go to war and live a life of sacrifice for their rulers

I’m sure plenty of them have dreams of their own

« Yay, we’re downgrading our lifestyle. Only American children need video games and fast food. We love working instead of having fun. For Russia ! »

This is real people’s lives

seeing miles and miles of lanes young men trying to escape a military draft for their dictator (let’s be real here). How could you be hyped ?

The real test is this: would you rather be Russian than German ? Would you give up your German passport to become Russian ?

If people are leaving their country in mass and the government has to stop them. They know. Whatever propaganda or statistics you give me, I know people are trying to leave.

If you have an immigration crisis, with millions of people at your border. Your country must be good.

If your country’s internet is censored and people can’t complain freely. You know your country isn’t that great and you’re afraid of the truth.

If your country is so great, why are people trying to leave en mass and why you’re censoring their speech if all they have to say is « Yay »

If you’re not allowed to hate your leader, then I can’t trust the polls. Even less so than free countries.

Or conquer Ukraine (and Moldova and other places, if they can), problem solved.

The local men will be good to use in the army and as workforce.

Supply and demand…
Problem solved.

Ofc, but the question wasn’t for short-term.

You conquer Ukraine, get like 30 mil. more ppl, then Moldova and Belarus. Then what? They don’t have rly any better demographics afaik.

Maybe let’s go on conquering the central Asia, Caucasus and Mongolia, eventually making Russians lose majority? Or then go to war with NATO?

What “old” people don’t realize in West, that most aged people in Russia can’t afford having a car, people continue to work until they whither away and it happens for decades in more grotesque forms than citizens of European countries imagine.
