PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING: I will notify you of amendments because only truth, accuracy and facts matter. Amendment 1: Typo* - First slide, date should be the 8th month, not the 9th Amendment 2: Maryino Villiage is not Maryino, the comparable is in fact located INSIDE the ring road on the metro line, however, that means that the comparable would then be located CLOSER to the centre, which then further reinforces my point, you can even get such cheap property even closer to the centre! Amendment 3: 223% is 3x, I was speaking off the cuff without breaks for a very long time, therefore Brain-farts can occur as they do with anyone. Thank you to my sharp subscribers for bringing these points up, God bless you. I will aim not to have amendments needed next time, it was my fault for doing this in working hours and rushing it through. I will pin this, if anyone comments further about these, I will just ask them to refer back to this comment.

The word Briton used to be a derogatory term for Welsh speaker or Cornish speaker. Bizarrely in the 1700s the UK state hijacked it to mean Englishman.... The complete opposite of its ancient deep Celtic native definition. Before the 1600s you would never seen an Englishman alive call himself a British person or a Brit

[@UngluedBrit]

@@DewiSant-o3y Well I suppose "Briton" applies to me then since my Father is a Welshman most of my ancestry is Welsh with a bit of Irish. The only reason why I even have anything to do with England was just being born on its soil really, which I don't tend to count for much.

[@НиколайСмирнов-с7х]

@@nataliyazharova2518 Это только значит, что одно и тоже кол-во товара, на одно и тоже кол-во населения будет дороже из за длины транспортных маршрутов, и ничего более. Наша площадь, если убрать все плюсы связанные с ресурсами (которые иди поди добыть ещё надо), то это чистые убытки на логистику. Два города с 1 млн населения в Италии будут друг от друга в цать раз ближе чем в РФ. Соответственно тебе для транспортировки не только топлива меньше надо, но даже кабины со спальниками на энных маршрутах не нужны, и ты экономишь даже на самих транспортных средствах. Ну и так далее... А если речь про ВВП, то в самом этой показателе написано, что это просто один ИЗ макроэкономических показателей, ещё и в пересчёте на другую валюту, ещё и согласно тем данным которые предоставлены самими этими странами. И внезапно в одних странах в ВВП будет включенная индустрия ночных бабочек и/или увеселительных таблеток, а у др нет, как и всякие гедонистические множители и пр шлак биржевой. А так же есть др примеры, как если вспоминать кейс об договорах сокращения ЯО, где РФ осилила технологии переработки, построила технологический центр (завод) и это был вклад в ВВП в размере 500 млн иностранной валюты (доллары США), а в самом США потратили 2 лярда, технологии не освоили, завод который строился под тех процесс, заморозили (технологий то нет) на уровне фундамента, а всё это вклад в ВВП 2 лярда. То есть успех, и ВВП +500 млн, провал и ВВП + 2 лярда. Так что все эти ВВП, отражают, безусловно, но только что то, что надо ещё под лупой рассматривать каждый отдельный кейс. Короче, я к тому, что это не у нас ВВП низкий, он ближе к реальности, просто из за отсутствия многих фин спекулятивных и пр механизмов, а так же отраслей сервиса, которые у нас под запретом. Это у них там, ВВП раздут. Если страна с условными 150 млн населения выплавляет больше метала чем США с 300 млн, если эл энергии вырабатываем и потребляем почти столько же, если у нас чуть больше выпускников СТЕМ и пр, то это не у нас низкий ВВП, это скорее всего у США сильно меньше, или той же Италии, чем они демонстрируют. Чот у Италии нет расходов на РВСН, спутниковую нац группировку и нац косм программу, на изучение Арктики и строительство атомного ледокольного флота, ну и так далее, всякие БАМ2/3 и сев железнодорожного кольца.

Excellent presentation. Of course, the safest economic assumption is that the World Bank has left no stone unturned in order to diminish the real size of the Russian economy. As impressive as these numbers may be, in reality Russian economy is even bigger, and significantly so.

[@UngluedBrit]

I agree with this completely, I doubt that they would leave a stone unturned, it is absolutely in their best interests.

[@xalekcey]

If we also correctly calculate the GDP and calculate what is not monetized in Russia, we will get much larger figures. For example, studying at a university in Russia on a budget place is not monetized and is paid from the budget as part of the university financing, while in England and the USA this amount is paid to your account from the bank (a source of financing, subsidies or a preferential loan for study is created for you). The same is with health care. Treatment under the state quota is not monetized and is not taken into account in the GDP, while in England or the USA this amount is paid through the bank by an insurance company. In Russia, many services and areas are not monetized. If in Germany there is a budget kindergarten for a child, this means that 200 euros come to your account every month, then in Russia it is a free budget kindergarten and its maintenance is within the budget financing.

[@olbe147]

Healthy population that doesn't require constant medical care is bad for GDP. Rampant crime requiring massive police presence is good for GDP. So, yes, GDP is far from perfect as a measure of economic wellbeing.

There is the pole of China, in which will be the next hegemony of the world, Chinas time of acceptance of such is like a tide that cannot be fought but must come in. Then there are the other BRICS nations in which are currently finding their own path and building their own separate civilisational states quietly brick by brick.

[@UngluedBrit]

As a teacher, I regret to inform you that this is not common knowledge amongst Brits, it is not taught within schools, it can only be acquired at A-level if you choose to specialise in the topic, however, you will not receive such an education as a mandatory requirement unless perhaps you need it for further education, in which case, it's still a choice. Sadly, it is the case in this day and age that the most "educated" in British society are the most Brainwashed and conformist to whatever the mainstream media tell them, the institutions in which we call Universities are no longer places of free thought since students get kicked off campus for not thinking in the approved manner, debate has died on campuses, I watched it die. As reality on the ground in England is concerned, if you were to survey 100 people and ask them which indicator they would point to to find out about true economic growth most of them would point at GDP. Due to decades of daily nudging and making sure that it's the only figure people get without doing their own private research has led to this, there is no free thinking now, just Government approved opinions it seems. This is only one of the deceptions, it's a deep and dark rabbit hole to possibly uncover all of them.

In the comparison table there was one row you missed to comment: average salary in Moscow 117k rubles, in London 400k rubles after tax… suddenly, +230% you have to spend on some things doesn’t look so bad.

[@UngluedBrit]

@@inikans123 it’s not missed, it’s misleading, London has 227,000 millionaires and 8.9 million residents, for Moscow it’s 104,500 people out of 12.19 million residence an “average” the 227,000 figure would not paint an accurate picture of life for the average man who this is aimed at. Therefore if you take an average figure and factor in those figures it would give most people an inaccurate idea of what they will be earning in an average job which most people work in. If you get the following averages; 10, 2, 38, 23, 38, 23, 21, 10,700,530, the average is 139.5, therefore this does not paint anything of an accurate picture for most people, as we can see, there were 7 people earning considerably less than the one man who was incredibly wealthy, 7/8 of them had incredibly low incomes yet 1 of them managed to lift the figure up which makes it look like everyone is earning 139.5, which we know isn’t true. Average salary within a profession is more telling: Journalist: 60,000 usd Per year Moscow Glassdoor 47,200 usd Per year London Glassdoor However, again, how long would it take to name and compare every profession factoring into account different tax structures and the cost of living? The industry that one works in will make a huge difference. This is why I don’t go anywhere near average incomes. I haven’t really touched the surface on taxation, because the UK is a cash cow on tax, I may just make a video on it in the future, I only touched on income tax and haven’t even touched on CGI, Corporate, Inheritance, sin tax, property, energy or fuel tax.

Если ваш бизнес чувствует себя хорошо и вы абсолютно точно знаете, что потянете займ под 20%, и он вам очень нужен прямо сейчас - вы этот займ возьмете, и без проблем выплатите проценты по кредиту. Если же вы не в состоянии выплатить и 7% сверх тела займа, (и у вас есть голова на плечах при этом) - вы этот займ не возьмете.
