Yeah I wouldn't say it would be 100x more prosperous. Look at the 90s under US puppet Yeltsin. That was the time to show how good cooperation with the west will be but didn't happen. Russia was treated as any South American or African country was treated. I'm not from Russia but heaps of westerners (not only US) came to buy up businesses and spread Christianity. They literally did nothing in terms of investments and creating institutions except for capturing mining rights.

Although I would add that I personally think Russia has not really developed much in the last 10 years under him. He really needs to invest into changes.

This might be a long shot argument but I think a big issue with what is now making societies bad for having large families is individualism.

People are so different and have a hard time agreeing on things they find it hard to get married. Then those who do find it hard to stay married. Those who marry and have kids have a hard time finding families to be friends with. The world is changing at such a rapid pace, If you have no shared values you will just have too large a range to find points of commonality.

Also in large cities the the density is a problem. Abundance of choice creates paralysis. Choice of partners and lifestyle. Creates more ways to cheat on your spouse without being caught. Life in general is more complex. I believe that there is a lag between rural people moving to cities and low birthrates. They may have more kids due to their families being large but their kids will most likely have less kids. Also large cities seem lonely because you become a replaceable part of it.

Sure I making child care more accessible is great and should be done but I don't think that's the one thing holding people back.

yeah I would say maybe the baltics had it good but the rest of former republics had a hard time. Armenia and Azerbaijan had a war, Tajikistan was engulfed in a civil war. Most countries didn't have any real gdp growth till mid 2000s.

Central Asia has the same oligarchy as you would picture in Russia and probably much worse. All dictators only changing after the previous dies.

I remember interviewing for shopping centre chain (mall). They had this in 2018 already. It had an accuracy of +/- 1m but they had ways to normalise it to the layout of the store. Didn't require them to even be on the network just have their wifi on.

They not only used it to price their storefronts but also they also could tell their renters which parts of the store had higher traffic. Meaning they would know what sells better, where people go from which section. It's literally web analytics but irl.

There are apolitical people in every country, no? These people maximise their own benefit (aka capitalism) without caring about others (aka socialism?)

There are also patriotic people like those Ukranians you mentioned that stayed and are fighting. Unfortunately many of the patriotic Russians support the war and they don't care as much about quality of life.

What is happening is kind of like you living in a neighbourhood your whole life and then some thugs move in. Now all of a sudden you don't get mail because the post is scared of those thugs. You can fight the thugs or you can move to a neighbourhood where you can get your mail.

I think he means they were created by Russians but people are selective about punishing Russians

Why is he responsible for a country he doesn't live in? He didn't choose to be born there and he even left. Cut this guy some slack.

I always found it funny that USA has a sports league that rewards teams that perform poorly. Its almost like its socialism. While the socialist Europe has a system that allows for capitalist like competition.

The difference between china and US collecting data is one is evil one is not but in reality that kind of data collection is unethical no matter who is doing it.

To some of us there is not much difference.

For me personally Telegram is far superior to Whats App.

Better file management and organisation. Deleting messages if you want to (this can be a downside).

Adding people without phone numbers is another feature I like. Just so they can't ring me up if I block them.
