As someone from the Soviet Union: few in the West realize just how much "the government will take care of everything" mentality is ingrained in the Soviet psyche, especially in Russia outside of the two big cities. Long past the collapse, parents still recommended their kids to have careers with poor pay and prospects, but with government benefits like housing, i.e. work 20 years and get a free tiny apartment. The video is totally right that it was the most fundamental social contract, and large parts of it remain to this day. Maxim Katz made a video recently about Peskov where he talks about it briefly but clearly (there are English subtitles). The war has made the situation much worse in Russia too, because so many young people left, either being drafted or escaping the draft.

As a result, investors are scrambling to revise their projections for interest rate increases and hastily selling off bank stocks across the board. As someone who has invested 200k in stocks, I find myself at a pivotal moment, wondering whether it's wise to cash out my depreciating portfolio. What strategies should I adopt to make the most of this bearish market?

[@olgageorgsen9654]

The recent events with SVB make it unlikely for the market to make significant gains soon, so it's wise to manage expectations and prepare for a potentially long recovery period. It's recommended to avoid making significant investment decisions until the economic environment stabilizes in areas of concern. It's best to exercise caution and avoid engaging with the current turbulence

[@user-dl4rr5qs8y]

A steadfast commitment to reputable companies requires either holding steady during market downturns or increasing investments during such times. This strategy is based on the fundamental belief that well-managed enterprises will eventually rebound with renewed strength. On the other hand, investors seeking long-term profits through stock appreciation should seek guidance from a FA to identify opportune entry and exit points. My own experience during the pandemic highlights the value of working with an investment advisor, which resulted in a significant gain of $530k in just 8 months.

If contributions stay the same, the pensions will have to go down, so expect poverty among the elderly population, which an opportunistic politician will take advantage of, with unpredictable results. The government may even resort to simply printing money to pay the pensions, in which case expect inflation to damage the purchasing power of Italians, and thus the entire Italian economy. The government may also go even further into debt, which will probably combine all the drawbacks of previous scenarios: High taxes, more emigration, poverty, and inflation. However, Italy's creditors may not give Italy loans anymore, blocking this route.

Secondly, how does winning the war lead to a massive increase in oil & gas revenue when it directly resulted in embargoes and an oil cap that plunged oil revenues down by 50% between Jan & Feb 2023 when compared to Jan & Feb 2022?

[@LancesArmorStriking]

According to senior aides, 2011 (Libya) was what changed him so fundamentally. At the start of his career (think 2001 speeach at the Bundestag) he genuinely wanted Russia to be folded into the Western system, as a key partner. What he got instead was a continuation of pushing for neoliberal policies by the West (which destroyed Russian society in the 1990s under Yeltsin), and rank hypocrisy in foreign policy. Other countries can't do anything without our okay, but Iraq needs to be invaded! That sort of thing. Libya was especially horrifying for him. It was in the process of developing nuclear arms, and the US didn't want that. They made an informal deal with Gaddafi that, if he suspended the program, the US would look the other way regarding his 'lack of ddmocracy', and ostensibly allow the country to continue under him. He disarmed in 2003. 8 years later, they funded rebel groups and had him killed in the streets. Putin reportedly watched that video on repeat over and over, obsessively. He saw himself in that video. A nuclear armed state being given non-binding agreements by the US, only to be backstabbed and exploited later. Case in point, look at Libya now. He definitely also saw it happen surrounding NATO expansion in the 1990s. So from that point on, his perceived role as leader of Russia was to chiefly to develop Russia, but to act as a counter to the West.

[@arveskjellanger4121]

In Norway, each state budget has generation budget as well, to make clear what burden we give our children and grand children. As a result, we (the people) early on started discussion on the work force / pensioner ratio. We ended up raising the pension age , with no change for people soon to be retired, small change for people retiring in 5 years, and full effect on the rest of the population. We try to keep number of living years after retirement age constant. That means longer life expectancy gives higher retirement age. By raising the retirement age early, we dont need that much changevto get the balance. And last: we tax and save today - so the total burden of tomorrow on each working person may be the same. These policies are only possibly then people really understand the challenges of the future and dont support easy, populist solutions.

[@richard1493]

I would love to see an analysis of what the actual value is of the pension program is compared to the cost of living in the country. How much does a retiree actually from their pension? Is it comfortable or just bare-minimum living? The Ruble (₽) can be a confusing currency, so a USD ($) equivalent would probably be more easily understandable by the audience. I retired after 10 years in the US Marine Corps and have a pension that I feel like has me set for life without needing to work as long as I don’t live excessively or have too many kids. I have a feeling that a Russian pension program compared to the US is wildly different.

[@shotelco]

The key in your comment is "...as long as I don’t live excessively." Consider this thought experiment; One works from about age 21 to age 50, earning the average income that the median American worker brings home, which an estimated $54,132 a year. After all taxes, lets say that's $40,000/year in pocket. Instead of falling victim to Western societal pressures of "keeping up with the Joneses," one uses all of the technology at hand: 1.) Habitat for humanity can build a 1400 sq.ft. house for about $100K. Add in the land and the cost is $200K 2.) As part of this house install, Solar panels, battery, hydroponic greenhouse, 40,000 gallon cistern to store rainwater, water recycling system..etc. Another $100K 3.) Electric cars (both BEV and Phev), electric assist bicycles, for base transportation. 4.) acquire all furniture, tools, and appliances from the pre-owned market (like offer up/craigslist) All in about $350K. 29 years of work @ $40K = $1.16M net income post tax. About 33% of lifetime earned income for the above 4 steps. Thus, upon retirement, not only is one debt free, but all living cost have been mitigated. One could live very comfortably on less than $12K/year. This would cover maintenance and replacement expenses, and have more than enough leftover for several yearly vacations. It would not cover potential Medical expenses. It would not cover other potential emergency expenses. But again, this is a mitigation strategy for younger people in light of the fact that there will be no Government retirement (Social Security/Medicare/etc.) for them as us Baby Boomers will have bleed them dry by their time to retire.

Average pension in Russia is 7220 rubles. 89$. That's not enough to live anywhere in Russia. That's why pensioners in Russia usually live with their children, because otherwise they would just die

[@Coxman]

I would have thought that was clear from the video. It's clearly not enough, more and more are being added and less people working. And in comparison, $200 approx. is not enough to live on in any modern or developed country. In China they get even less. At least western countries have recognised this in their own countries and have taken steps to address it, such as raising the retirement age. So yes, US and Russian pensions are different. Chances are, the Russians wont have a pension to speak of. There's a serious possibility that these older people in Russia will stop supporting Putin.
