What it really shows is that Russia was running far below capacity. 'Hot' they are acting like its a bad thing that real wages (which include inflation) is rising unlike the West. One has to wonder why U.S. isn't running 'hot' despite $800bn in military spending. Could it be that much of the spending leaks away into 'savings' (money hoarding MIC) or imports?

State-driven spending offsets factors that would otherwise cause economic depression? What a novel concept!

Sounds like communism to me. Why doesn’t Putin learn economics 101 and cut a check to crypto investors

Do Russians have health care? I thought it was just vodka.

They used to have excellent healthcare in the Soviet era, now, not so much.

Neither does nearly all post-Soviet states (including Ukraine).

And Healthcare in western countries is crumbling too thanks to neoliberal austerity.
