  • What a load of bull crap. GDP PPP does not mean they’re the 4th largest economy, even if the numbers could be trusted (no idea if they can, I don’t really care).

    Also the comment from that Russian fella is hilarious - apparently they have larger salaries than Americans! Especially funny given the context where the USA is above Russia in GDP PPP.

    Usually when you talk about “largest economies”, you talk about nominal GDP. And congrats Russia, thanks to waging a war, you have apparently fallen out of the top ten!

    In short, this is a propaganda piece which is intentionally very misleading and full of lies and half-thruths.





  • I have no idea why you would use a pen to turn pages???

    Because the pen can be held in the other hand which can be anywhere - you turn the page with a click of a button. And the pen doesn’t have to be anywhere near the screen. After a few hours of reading you can feel the difference between having your hand in a natural position and forcing it in a position to be able to turn the pages.
