It’s just a script. Hollywood does all sorts of crazy movies. Perhaps it’ll be made into one. Oh wait… that can’t happen. The Russian have been the bad guys since the 70’s /s

How about this for a script: NATO finally drops the mask and after expanding west for 30 years despite their promises to Russia not to, they make a final push to integrate Ukraine, arm it against Russian, in preparation for a decapitating attack against the Kremlin that would finally allow the US to control the resources of Russia and prepare for an attack on their second target,China, to consolidate their 70 years hegemonic stride. However, the maniacs in Washington that had already divided the US population across racial and gender lines, did not account for Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. In a surprise twist of events, after ignoring its ultimatum to back off from Ukraine, Russia commences a massive military operation in Ukraine. Confronted with the unthinkable, desperate Western powers drop the mask and go all in: they censor Russian and domestic media that doesn’t toe the propaganda line. Unleash unprecedented economic sanctions against Russia, seize the assets of the Russian central bank, blow up Russian underwater pipelines, turn a blind eye to terror attacks on Russian cities, and engage in genocidal activities against the Russian population, unseen since those of Hitler’s Third Reicht. They ostracize Russian culture, artists, companies, and people, from western society, disregarding objections from the United Nations and the rest of the world. As the proxy war against Russia grows bigger, supported by the West’s massive injection of armaments into Ukraine, leaders of the West begin to realize the situation has grown bigger and taken a life of its own. They can no longer control the events. There’s no going back. With the Middle East fast reconciling old scars, China and Russia uniting, and the African continent awakening to the colonial condescension bestowed upon them up to that point, the West begins to realize they are the ones that have been isolated. With the world quickly uniting against the West and their master, the US government, the situation is ripen for a military attack on the US, breaking the historically sacred rule of “no foreign boots of US soil”. What began as the desperate attempt of a demented US president to shield his rotten son from his criminal activity in Ukraine, has now morphed into the final chapter of the US empire. Just like Hitler before them, the US hegemonic empire has bitten more than it can chew.

Ends with scenes of US nuclear forces French-kissing at a Pride parade, dressed in leather and surrounded by kids, while Russian and Chinese submarines and navy approach the US costs at dawn, and their ICBMs burning red hot as they re-enter the atmosphere.

This is what the western owners of the narratives want everybody to believe. In reality, the west is much more repressive toward citizens that disagree with the narrative and manifest it publicly. The European Commission, which in practices rules over the EU, is a completely unelected body. Still, Europeans think they live in a free country. Just like the Americas think they live in the greatest country on the planet. Yet, many run away from it as soon as the remote work allows them to. Again, just like Putin said, the West is an empire of lies.

Well, they did go after a foreign company. Probably a competitor of a US company. Do they enforce the same way against US companies? Perhaps it’s just a tool to beat foreign competition. Eg the case being built against TikTok. Perhaps the EU should investigate the same US companies. But I think the European Commission is in the pockets of Washington.

It’s nice when they put it like that. Now imagine you trying to relax or concentrate in your home and hearing a “car door closing”, every minute, regularly, all day. And if in the end it sounds more like the car’s tire blowing up - well… “we are looking at ways to resolve the issue”, “we are aware of the issue and working on it”, “you are the only one complaining”, “it looks you may be too sensitive to noise”, and so on. Who cares in the end. It’s just people.

Doesn’t matter. It’s a cultural thing. Mexico can get as young as they like. Won’t matter. Look at the work culture in China vs Mexico. That’s where all the answers lie.

Exactly my point about Ukraine. I don’t understand the moral indignation with the attack. Just like you are saying. Russia is big enough to get away with it and so does it. Agree?

One of the best comments I have ever read. You truly put this into perspective. Thank you.

Would you care to give some examples? Anything after hours must be OTC, but traders won’t be on the floor on Saturday and Sunday. I know. I was there. So, who’s going to trade during the weekend? Trades also have to be reported within a certain time. I’m not sure about weekend reporting. It’s a genuine question. Your comments seems more a hearsay than actual experience.

The goal of interviews and assignments is not to achieve an outcome but to assess someone’s abilities. Henceforth, cheating cannot be justified.

“Russia has unleashed senseless destruction and genocidal violence on Ukraine in an attempt to reoccupy the former colony”. It’s not senseless since they have explained the reasons at length, albeit their adversaries refused to listen. And it’s not genocidal either since the goal is not to exterminate Ukrainian people. The goal is to prevent a NATO giant air carrier on its borders. The war will continue until those that don’t want to listen will start listening. Perhaps war must come to their countries for them to do so.

What really sucks is that members of society like you think that a government nitpicking on immigration laws to justify fascist harassment of a specific group of people is actually fine. Your belief are the real issue (for us as a society) because they reveal a deep seated hatred toward a specific group of people. And history shows where that leads.

Nasdaq closing auction ends at 4pm. Reports come out later. Participants trading on 8-K cannot trade the news immediately. Orders can be executed only on Monday during opening auction. Also, you assume their trades are enough to move the market and neutralize the opportunity, which may not be the case. Perhaps they can trade off market. I’m just saying that it may not be a done deal as you describe it, but I may be missing some aspects.

You forgot to mention amortization of IP costs and net value intangibles. Basically, you have all the same rights like in all other countries. Plus an itch to complain about Russia. When you are done, check the list of countries with the death penalty and intercession rates, for a meaningful view of what truly affects everyday life.

Thank you for the explanation. From that I would infer you wish there be less people from every country that has done the same as Russia. Would that be correct? Do you wish, for example, that there be less Americans, French, Germans, Italians, and Japanese? Also, have you thought of ways how our society could implement your recommendation and reduce the number of people from these countries? Would you suggest a quota of mass extermination for each country, perhaps to be agreed by an international panel? How about the logistics of that? Perhaps something like the Nazi camps with incinerators? I’m genuinely curious about your desires because, as a fellow citizen, your wishes and desires affect us all.

But since the simplest explanation is statistically the most likely, we all going to agree this was done by the US to damage Russia and force the EU to buy America’s LNG.

IT workers are one of the most childish, arrogant, and entitled bunch. It is an issue for the industry. A solution should be implemented.

Would you care to explain why you feel like that? Since you are an inhabitant of this planet, your thoughts and actions affect us all. If you hate a country so much we ought to know at least why.

To our American friends, if the campus doesn’t have McDonald’s and a rainbow flag, it’s a Gulag. That’s the level.

Can you share what freedoms are not available to young professionals like you in Russia that are available in other countries?

Since virtue signaling is clearly damaging society, I wonder whether it will be evolutionarily weeded out, or it will become a sort of auto-immune disease that leads humanity to extinction.

Very interesting point. I wasn’t aware of it. It would be some kind of psyop of the Chinese government where its own citizens are served intelligent content and get progressively smarter, while the citizen of the enemy are served retarded content and get progressively more stupid. This would actually seem to match what we see nowadays in western society. Virtue signaling, Russophobia, LGBTQ propaganda, and so forth.

The other day it came to me that the huge number of American girls doing porn is actually a sign of how a country has effectively reduced its own women to nothing more then prostitutes. There is a huge irony there, since the populace itself actually still thinks they live in the greatest country in the world. Thankfully, most of them don’t have a passport to go and check the rest of the world.

They are 8 months old and have “strong revenues”. How do you do that? Seems like magic. I wish I were so talented.

Imagine being a country trying to develop and mend your past, having NATO inching ever closer to your borders, with plans to deploy tactical and strategic missiles pointed at your capital. While being painted as the bad guy in Hollywood movies for the past 30 years. Marginally more inconvenient than being caught trying to influence the smear campaign against you.

Does anyone else think that those wanting to work fully remotely, should just become contractors and offer their services to companies? Forgo also job security (in those countries that offer that) and all other benefits associated with being a permanent employee? To me the work arrangement they describe fits well with contracting work and little with “joining” a company. I feel that it is unfair to have both. Contractors’ work by definition is unsupervised and they use their own tools. Joining a company full time means being part of the team, meeting your colleagues in the office, sharing the journey and feeling part of it. It can also include remote work but not as an absolute right that the company must provide.

If there was such an inquiry and it emerged, without doubts, that the cause of Covid was reckless funding of dangerous research by the US in a foreign country, and reckless management of dangerous pathogens research by China, what could the geopolitical consequences be? Especially considering the control both countries exerts on media?

You just left about 4 billion people out of your definition of “world”. China, India, and many more counties that are not against Russia. I find that very arrogant but also reflective of where the “western world” stands right not. This arrogance and self-supremacy must be broken. And that’s what Russia is just doing.

I agree. Each one of them is taking actions to self-determine their future. Ethical right and wrong are orthogonal to the issue of self determination.

I think the last Great War made people from that generation into real responsible adults. Which resulted in a great generation of politicians until about the end of the millennium. One has only to look at Jens Stoltenberg to see the utter failure that this new generation of politicians is. Immature, self-righteous, arrogant, warmongers, lacking a real sense of responsibility and respect for human life. Perhaps another Great War might do all of us good.
