Facebook is awfully close to MySpace in its final convulsions - it's slow, it's buggy, and lacks focus! I manage over 30 pages, I get constantly banned for jokes, which some buggy algorithm considered "hate speech." Once my personal profile is banned, I'm cut out from the business properties I manage - I cannot post on pages that are not my private property, but which were trusted to me to maintain. And when you're banned, you cannot delegate other people to manage, so Facebook puts a bunch of 501(c)(3) public charities offline. This is no longer a place to do business and socialize - it's a place to get banned and where you're forced to create 2-3 backup profiles! And maybe that's their goal - to claim they have more active users! I know no young person using Facebook either! So, it should be rebranded to ObituaryBook.

And do you have "better" information? This is not my opinion - research to see that many economists are supporting my personal point as well!

Ukraine always, without any evidence, rushes to blame anything on Russia - including the continuous shelling of Donets, which is populated by Russian, and the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which is also under Russia's control, and so on. And it works in their favor as most people only read the headlines and the MSM does not follow up to debunk Ukraine's original claims. But more and more people I know in America who now start to question everything that comes out of Zelensky's mouth as in most cases it's the same tiring rhetoric and more often than not - lies and huge exaggerations and pure hatred against anything Russian.

We all know that the officially reported inflation rate is much lower than the actual one. GDP should be adjusted for inflation, but it's using the official numbers, which are lower, and it looks like GDP has gone up.

And, by the way, there's been deflation in Russia.

The "growth" is due to inflation.

And the rest of the world is not in a recession?!
