RE: Black currant
We no longer have forced retirement and it is now law that our employer cannot fire us for being old.
I have to admit that I might enjoy being forced to retire. Heh heh. I'm not old enough yet.
They don't force us to retire either. But people themselves want to be pensioners. We may not be hired because of age. The employer wants to see young, healthy, active young workers.
Last year, many young and active guys left the country with their families. This is due to the events in Ukraine. The guys don't want to go to war.
There is a big shortage of workers now. Many men were mobilized to the front. Our president does not see any problems in the country, he lives in another space-time space, in some kind of fictional world of his own.
I saw in the news that many new men were sent to the front in recent days. I believe the people that fled were right. If everyone refuses to fight, this mess will soon end.
The State Duma is going to adopt a law on the seizure of property from people who have left. There was a saying in the Soviet Union, it remained the same in the Russian Federation: "We need a victory, despite the huge price of this victory."
The Supreme Ruler will make any sacrifice to maintain his Power.
People have muddied their minds that this is "patriotism" and many people are like sheep ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of his Greatness. They consider him almost Jesus in our time, there is even an expression: "Putin is Russia."
I feel bad for your situation. I would say a similar thing has happened in the USA with Trump, but ultimately, there are greater safeguards built into the system to protect democracy. They are on the verge of losing it, however.
This is the age of monsters.
