They go about their "blame others" lives on the government welfare just like Russians. After 4 years of Trump, I'm done blaming them. It's simply cheaper to buy people off, and let them descend into a meaningless life than create a decent job for them. The wealthy of the world, the top 25% winners, in the U.S., Europe, Russia and China all offer NOTHING for these people. They don't so much choose this far-right nonsense lifestyle as have no other options.

Sure, anyone can become a plumber or electrician, etc., but can they live in a safe place? No. The wealthy have been building like no tomorrow but most of it is empty and they just sit on it as a store of wealth. If the world was fair, most commercial real estate owners would be penniless. Funny how that didn't happen.

The war in Ukraine is between the wealthy and powerful of Russia and those in the EU (and U.S.). So what if I can say what I want? I can't get the U.S. to find a way to negotiate any more than a Russian. I couldn't stop Iraq either. Friends tuned me out then as they tune me out now.

So super happy you're teaching in Russia again. Whatever one can do to give any young person ANYWHERE, a chance is the only thing worth doing.
