The 144-million population number after the last census (2023)...is faked-up.
I think even before the war started....it was probably around a high 120’s and since the war....with deaths and those who packed-up/left...It’s probably closer to 118-million.
So in terms of farm labor...they are screwed. Over the next 20 years....at least half-a-million non-Russians will be brought in to manage/produce crops.
I understand they are importing them from Armenia...and they are actually Russian potatoes which were brought to Armenia years ago. I believe the shortage is over...
Hey, Russia’s a huge country. Can’t they just plant more potatoes?
We had a bag of potatoes go “bad” so I just planted them. Now we got potatoes coming up all over the place. I just did it for fun - potatoes are pretty cheap. But we have lots of land and plenty of rain, so the only work involved was cutting them up and sticking them in the ground.
And you can even grow them in cardboard boxes, if you have the dirt to fill them with.
Same line of lies as with eggs in the US. Same lies, same liars.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
I’ve been starting to grow my own.
Lots to be said for gardening to supplement the food budget.
And I am grateful that we don’t have to survive on what I grow.
Potato famine?
That’s serious.
Might we expect an influx of emigres.
It’s happened before.
