No, i think you’re wrong. It has nothing to do with Russia. Rather,
Tendency of the Rate of Profit to Fall (TRPF) is at work and is causing wages to decline over time. This was predicted as far back as the 19th century, and it took a long time (longer than most people expected) to carry out, but now we’re seeing the consequences.
Through the centuries, we (humanity) have seen multiple waves of development:
agricultural
industrial (heavy machines)
informational
Now, the last of these three big waves is coming to an end (rapid internet enshittification), humanity ceases to be able to give meaningful employment to the people. This is why we’re seeing a rise in bullshit jobs and working poor - because wages are falling.
People like Trump held the belief for a long time that it was because people were getting “lazy and inefficient”, and if they return to power, they’re gonna kick everyone’s ass, reduce avocado toasts, and get the economy flowing again. Truth is, however, and Trump will have to admit this, that the people’s employment/economy is slowing down NOT because of lazyness, but because there’s simply not much left to do for us humans here on earth. This is why we’re going to see mass unemployments in the coming decades, and Trump’s attempt at “efficiency” isn’t going to solve things.
In my opinion, what we need now, is Universal Basic Income (UBI). It stabilizes society and gives people guarantees about their future. I am saddened that so many people seem to oppose it, but i think it would be a really good idea and we should work towards it.
I’m for UBI I just have zero idea how you implement it without authoritarian rules over industry, as in deciding how much stuff is allowed to cost.
We saw with COVID, people were given a measly 1000$ and all prices skyrocketed in unison… What a coincidence…
Our industries are too corrupt, and the minute you start giving out money to the poor, it will be essentially going to Bezos.
I’m also for student loan forgiveness, but again, we never addressed the cost of school so basically we burdened future generations with debt so bankers can get paid.
You will never convince me he is not Russia’s boytoy here. Putin has got to be grinning his ass off right now

I don’t know what the solution is.
I also tend to grin when I’m getting my dick sucked.
Putin has other stuff to worry about. Other than enormous amount of troll all over the internet, he lost probably all the influence on the US.
