“More often” denied compared to who? Who else needs continuous glucose monitoring more than diabetics? Medvedev?

Remember when the ministry of finance thought they wouldn’t have to offer billions in subsidies to oil companies for gasoline refining? Last week? Good times.

It’s enjoyable watching the oil companies get squeezed, but having the gov’t fork over money that they thought they were going to be able to keep in their pocket works pretty well too. Eagerly awaiting this month’s daily deficit updates from @prune602.bsky.social.

Huh.

Mass bankruptcies followed by government supported “consolidation” can do that, yes.

Wait, consumption as in use or in putting away for storage?

An Annoyed Ukrainian American @annoyeduke.bsky.social · 3d

Can we assume that this means they have no room to put anymore and no customers to buy anymore?

Time to raise taxes on the plebs!

That always works great in russia.

Being free of the burden of having to pay for new railway cars should help russian railways meet the challenge of trying to ramp up business to offset the coming collapse of russian road transport as gas and diesel disappear just at the same time shipping companies drown in a sea of lease debt.

Ok, I’m not sure making me break out the Malört in celebration is a “warning” but ok.

When properly motivated, changes can happen fast enough.

It took one year after 1904, three years after 1914, and two years after 1989.

It’s been three years since 2022, and lines at the gas stations are growing.

“His enemies” in this case referred to the people that have his bar tab. They were afraid he was skipping out on them.

Even better, the government is considering tax holidays for some (or most) of these industries. Because what the government needs right now is less tax revenue. That they’ll never recover because it’s not the tax rates that are causing the businesses to go bankrupt.

This is the second time that this has happened that I’m aware of. The first was a few weeks ago, I believe?

Better get to it before everyone empties their bank accounts in order to pay for gas in buckets on the street corner.

Going to have to be honest, you do plenty enough as it is.

Sorry about your dad, though. :(

Not only that but there was an attack (unclear as to the result, so probably not as great as we'd like...yet) on the Tyumen refinery not 48 hours after you posted this.

You should write stories about all of the refineries in russia, regardless of location. Let's see what happens.

Or you could calculate how much inflation would have to be in order to reach these new revenue projections and then you have a better idea what the government really thinks the inflation rate is.

More likely it's whatever makes them feel better about themselves, but you never know...

Just to point something out. At a time when you have to introduce a moratorium on bankruptcies for wheat farmers, when the buckwheat harvest is collapsing and you can't produce enough potatoes to say you are building greenhouses for bananas sounds insane.

The Russian agricultural minister Oksana Lut announced that Russia has started building its first greenhouses for growing bananas.

I had hoped we'd have further work for you, but it's unclear if the explosion at the refinery in Tyumen tonight resulted in significant damage to production.
