  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

A ten year steady decline in the currency of a "world power" is no big deal. πŸ‘

[–] tburkhol@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the message I get is that a 10% one-day decline doesn't look like much on the tail end of 70% losses. Worthless paper is worthless.

Russia has the same economy as Italy. We take them only seriously because of their nuclear weapons.

As an Italian.... Not sure if proud or embarrassed....

You've got way better food though. How many Russian restaurants do you see around the world?

I had one in the city that going by reviews was quite good

Now it's a very nice Chinese restaurant.

I’m just amazed your comment made it through your clown government internet filter.

Actually, it's not. But it's not a world power either.

And a large decline in a single day, smaller than that steady decline in a decade can be quite a big deal. Or can be nothing. Nobody knows.

According to some social media bubbles, it should have dropped to 1/10 in the past 2 years.

Ah, the kremlin talking points "look your measures doesn't work!!1! (So can you remove them, ok?)"

Nobody thought the ruble would crash one or two years ago.

But well, now is now and it looks like the funds have been used up, the inflation is at its maximum utility etc etc and now it's crash time!

According to some social media bubbles the world is flat and Xenu populated the earth
