To endure a long war, Ukraine is remaking its army, economy and society
  • The shrunken economy is too small to generate sufficient tax revenue to pay for Ukraine’s security, Mr Marchenko notes, so the government will have to help it grow by improving the business climate and fostering industry.

    An interesting example of the principle that governments rarely grant economic freedom and prosperity to the people voluntarily, but only when those in power are dependent on the prosperity of the people.

  • "We've used 5% of our defense budget to arm Ukraine. And with it, they've destroyed 50% of Putin's army." - Ad targeted to Republicans to support Ukraine
  • I am emphatically in favor of supporting Ukraine but you should be aware that Zelensky has suspended elections. I wouldn't call Ukraine totalitarian but a true democracy never suspends elections, even when they're inconvenient. The United States has never done it despite always being at war and I don't think we should give a pass to other nations just because they're at war.

  • I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.
  • Not sure if you're on iPhone or Android but I root my OnePlus 9pro and use several ad blockers and privacy apps. A good one is xprivacylua, because it doesn't just block trackers but instead feeds them phony data so it interferes with the function of the app as little as possible. I would recommend you install shamiko as well to prevent apps from detecting that your phone is rooted. I'm sure there are similar options for iPhone but I'm not familiar it's been too long since I've had a jailbroken iPhone.
