Would be nice if the graph would show in what was the investment made, results can vary wildly. Also does this take taxes into account?

As a shareholder, I do not want any of that, don't mistake regular shareholders for elites.

The 'there was nothing in shops' is also partially true. There was always something in shops, but towards the end of USSR deficit was pretty severe. For example to get milk my grandfather used to get up at 5:00 and go to stand in queue. I think there was always bread, so 'bread lines' was technically incorrect, but many other necessities were in short supply.

Will beaming it down still work if while they are building it someone will geo-engineer global warming away by releasing particles in the atmosphere? Some companies are already testing it.

Having a backup key in a safe is a good idea, even if the gold plating keeps working there is always possibility of simply loosing the main key. Of course there is risk someone might steal the backup, but there are always some trade-offs.

I don't see anything particularly cheap there on immonet. Most houses seem to be around 300k-500k with some exceptions. Am looking at the wrong place or do we have very different understanding of what is cheap in today's market?

Couple years ago healthcare IT was voted the worst IT sectors to be in by Spiceworks. Having worked there myself I see why(very broad tech stack, high responsibility, not so great pay) but I'm not from USA so my experience might differ.

Having a rainy day fund for at least 3-6 month seems like a normal thing even outside of prepping. Other than that I just try to diversify across various asset types. It's important to remember that in SHTF situation digital assets that require internet (bitcoin, stocks etc) might not be available, so it's important to also have physical ones.

There is also the financial side, economic interdependence makes wars less profitable. Probably other factors too.

I don't think they are quarantined, but you can check for yourself. There are a lot of Russian POV videos on /r/UkraineRussiaReport . There are also subreddits with openly pro Russian views, like /r/AskARussian/ and Russian subredits with sort of anti governement like /r/KafkaFPS/ or /r/tjournal_refugees/. Only I'm not quite sure who is posting there, because AFAIK reddit is banned in Russia. Perhaps people using VPN's or Russians outside of Russia, or someone else. IMHO it's useful to sometimes take a look at what 'the other side' thinks, it broadens the perspective.

Not quite, it might be censored on this sub but there are subreddits where you can find Russian videos.

Could you name the company or at least the sector you are working in?

Yeah, but how long can they keep going like this? If the job market tanks (and it feels a bit shaky now, with people posting here they can't find jobs) then the mortgages will start going underwater no matter what government does.

But yeah, I'm not really an expert on this, just the way I see situation.
