That's the face I've made just yesterday when my friend told me she's now eligible for a subsidized IT mortgage. That thing was one of Russia's last ditch attempts at stopping skilled workers from fucking off to different countries. The problem is, she's a web designer. I guess that counts as IT nowadays, so good for her. But it's bitter to hear as sr. backend tech who never hit the criteria...

Yep, I know the face... made it a few times with colleagues that don't know basic Windows scripting, but somehow got bonuses... but I don't kiss upper management ass, so I never do. That's life I guess...

That's pretty much how the Russian economy works right now, in a nut shell. To stop emigration caused by the expensive war, they're giving away a ton of expensive handouts.

The interest rate is at 19% and counting. Very cool, very sustainable. I have a feeling "the last laugh" will be yours, OP, even if they win in Ukraine.
