This thread should never have been closed in the first place. When will Hand Knit apologize?

If that was directed at me, point taken. No sass intended at all.

Imagine bringing some kids to safety and not even getting a new fidge for your dacha out of it

That's what, $38usd to save your kid? Jesus. I spent more than that on drinks and dinner last night. I get that $38usd has different buying power than 3,000rubles anywhere you'd spend it but goddamn.

Its not the amount of money, its the Russian mindset and attitude where the officials are squeezing out money from people for getting something they should be getting for free. That, combined with the fact that no-one in the public even considers the option of greasing the ropes and sharpening the guillotine blades to deal with these officials, who are publicly refusing to do their job, evacuate children from an active warzone, unless their pockets are stuffed with bribes and handouts.

Gotcha, yeah I was perplexed at it and not seeing it as a bribe.

lmao Bank of Russia has issued a financial stability warning on the housing market. Due to 15% interest rates and subsidies on new houses, home owners are facing a 42% price drop on their house price if they want to sell their house and move somewhere else i.e. new job etc.

Basically, when you buy a house, if it is a new build then you get a subsidised mortgage. But once you buy it, it no longer qualifies for a subsidised rate for the next owner and now falls in the countries interest rate (15%). If you do try to sell it, you'll take a 42% loss on average on what you bought it for. Take out a 100k mortgage and only get 58k back when you sell it but you've paid back to the bank anywhere from 102-110k (job depending) to the bank.

Lol I'd be pissed and people are.
I dunno from the US all I read is:

Defeat predatory real estate speculators with this one simple trick!

(Yes I realize the housing markets in both countries are radically different)
