I see comments like this from Americans who are surprised that Ukrainians are still working and going to school. Do they think people just stop needing food and rent money because the streets are getting bombed?
Many US states like Mississippi have a higher gun death rate than Ukraine during an active war. If people can go to work in Mississippi, they definitely can do the same in Ukraine.
Also, wars are hella expensive. Taxes going up is inevitable, the cost of living will go up, it's just a question of "when", not "if".
Weird that it would be coming from Americans given how often US media has depicted the importance of the homefront during the various wars that America has participated in.
Militaries still need food and supplies to operate, so someone has to be making/raising/growing all of that stuff. And those workers need to be paid, accommodated, and kept happy, so every other industry like banking, education, healthcare, entertainment, etc. needs to keep running at full steam to prop up all aspects of the supply chain.
They think that once all the capital is destroyed, they'll get to live like kings by taking the full value of their work.
And they won't accept to learn their work is only that valuable because of that capital.
We think we'll be dead ya jackass
My mom always said, that if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life.
This design of molotov is unsafe.
You want the rag (soaked in fuel) to be affixed around the neck of the bottle so that it doesn't blow up in your hand.
Stay safe, friends.
I'm just gonna volunteer to go on the front lines and hope I get taken out as quick and painlessly as possible
You get assigned a task in an office managing computer infrastructure.
Computer infrastructure is the front lines now
