" They are commonly perceived as being foisted on the company by the government pursuing a geopolitical agenda. A more important characteristic that they share, however, is the ability to employ a closely knit group of suppliers in Russia, with little outside supervision."

Note what company authored this report...

" Gazprom’s decisions make perfect sense if the company is assumed to be run for the benefit of its contractors, not for commercial profit. The Power of Siberia, Nord Stream2 and Turkish Stream are all deeply valuede-structive projects that will eat up almost half of Gazprom’s investments over the next five years."

In reality, the history of same-sex relationships in USSR is quite interesting. Back in early 1900's it was a crime, following principles of religious morality. In 1926 Soviet authorities actually *decriminalised* voluntary same-sex relationships, one of the first such laws in Europe, based on scientific approach.

This didn't last long. With arrival of Stalin, science was dismissed and replaced by ideology, which considered homosexuality to be "bourgeois deviation" and repressions started again

Ttrolling modern USSR lovers (who are also usually very conservative) with old Soviet posters of what we would today describe as same-sex couples 😂

Just got a spam titled:

Finally a spammer that is actually concerned about Unicode - nonetheless they got it wrong anyway 😂

How it should look like:

> print('Pawe\u0142')

What I wrote is that union activists effectively closed the circle by becoming rentiers themselves, living off someone else's work and monopolising the job market.

A few years ago there was an industrial action at the railway in the UK where I listened to some union activist explaining all serious that you absolutely need a railway worked in each carriage to open and close door on each station and that's critical to the safety of the passengers

Which left me with my mouth wide open, because everywhere outside of UK and in some trains in UK you had doors opening and closing automatically for literally decades, and there's nothing "unsafe" in it.

So, when discussing the social contract, it should be always remembered that there are *two* sides to it.

If you build your career on blaming the "elites" for abusing their political power, and then you effectively turn into a rentier, living no longer off your work but off your political power then you become nothing else than the "elites" you blamed before.

Union privileges were widely described in media back in 70's.

Situations where no builder can legally touch any part of the electric installation (including power switch), or do painting, or plumbing or whatever, because these were reserved only to members of respective unions, were absurd and abusive to the other workers.

Unions were also getting involved into foreign policy: in 1920 British dockers prevented UK shipping arms to Poland invaded by Bolshevik because they liked the latter.
