Yes, and it is booming. It keeps outperforming the sputtering western economies by leaps and bounds.
Ain't no party like a 50 cent party 'cuz a 50 cent party don't stop.
Can you talk like a normal person please

yeah, cause that's totally a sensible comparison to make
It absolutely is, that’s why the article is using percentages and not dollar amounts
Going from $1 to $2 is a 100% increase but you’re still fucking broke afterwards, and the guy whose $1,000 only grew by 1% still made 10 times more money than you lol
Maybe instead of spending all their money murdering Ukrainians they should be trying to create a country where the leading cause of death for young men isn’t alcoholism
Maybe invading Ukraine is how they're trying to change the leading cause of death for young men.
