On the flip side the longer the war takes the more Ukraine will be useless to Russia. It'd be even worse cuz the rebuilding and continued insurrection activity will be a huge liability. The way I see it, the longer this war goes on Russia becomes less likely to take Kiev and/or win the war. So ya I don't think nuking is even an option for Russia, it's either win conventionally or pull out completely. Ukraine will not accept giving an inch of ground to Russia.

Based off no evidence, just my personal bias. I think most people being laid off won't find another high paying job because their whole sector is laying people off. The ones who get a new high paying job will be a minority, everyone else will be taking a substantial pay cut.

Another thing that could be an issue is that those middle class tech workers getting laid off probably have a mortgage payment much higher than $1600 a month. Not to mention those people have families which is even more expensive than just 2 adults. If enough people default then we have 2008 part 2.

You can't pay a mortgage working minimum wage when you bought the house with your salary in mind. Some will say that's their fault for overextending but if it's happening across the country that's a crisis, not an individual problem.

Ya people tend to forget the reason the American Revolution started is because people were mad about not having enough money. That freedom shit is just propaganda at best, delusional idealism at worst.

No we'd just switch to the feudal system, every company will have its own store for anything the peasant would need in exchange for their labor.

Edit: If anyone's read the Pendragon book about the world where the company(s?) own everything, that's probably what it would be like without the televised squid games hopefully.
