Russia’s industrial worker shortage reached a new high last month, the RBC news website reported Thursday, citing a survey by the Yegor Gaidar Institute for Economic Policy.

Only 2% of the surveyed enterprises said they were overstaffed, with RBC noting that the stark shortage-to-surplus of workers ratio represents the widest margin in the past 28 years.

According to an April survey by Russia’s Central Bank, in the first quarter of 2023, worker shortages in Russia reached their highest level since records began in 1998.

      Unfortunately we tried the ‘fuck around and find out’ approach in 2016, and look where that got us.

          Unfortunately I’ve seen enough of the news from the South - it seems to be all about telling the children they don’t matter, their education doesn’t matter, their whole identity doesn’t matter. One step behind that is the same treatment given to women. What is hard for me to swallow is that so many men all over this country (well, and the world) are so insecure in themselves that their only outlet is to stomp down everyone else. In the broad scheme of things Boebert doesn’t really have any power except as a comedian, and I do appreciate the fact that I live in a place where I have the luxury to complain about someone so inconsequential. I hope other states can find some sanity in the next election but I’m not holding my breath.
