Its com­pa­ring Ukrai­ne with Rus­sia time again!

Again? Well for peop­le that werent satis­fied by a com­pa­ri­son using world bank data in the recent past:

Wie kann man die Bevöl­ke­rung eigent­lich noch verarschen?

So time for a new com­pa­ri­son using the Heri­ta­ge Foun­da­ti­on eco­no­mic free­dom index 2022 data!

Oran­ge line is the world average in any given category!

Lets goooo!

Over­all score: A most­ly unfree coun­try well below the world average!

Pro­per­ty rights: A most­ly stron­gly repres­sed coun­try, well below the world average!

Judi­cial effec­ti­ve­ness: A most­ly stron­gly repres­sed coun­try, well below the world average!

Government Inte­gri­ty: A most­ly stron­gly repres­sed coun­try, well below the world average!

Tax bur­den: A most­ly tax bur­den free coun­try, well abo­ve world average, becau­se we poli­ti­ci­ans get our money from olig­archs, why should we bother with taxes!

Government spen­ding: A most­ly repres­sed coun­try, well below the world average! No taxes, remem­ber? What should we spend money on? Pen­si­ons for the rus­si­an spea­king old folks in the east?! Ha. Lets pivot toward EU mem­bers­hip, young genera­ti­on - lets go!

Fis­cal health: Well healt­hy enough for the US mili­ta­ry indus­tri­al com­plex to sell us and our neigh­bors four years of wea­pons on credit alo­ne! Most­ly free, so well abo­ve the world average!

Busi­ness Free­dom: Hey, good news, final­ly world average! So moder­ate­ly free! Good on you Black­rock for buy­ing all that farm­land alrea­dy! You must have felt total­ly free to do so!

Labor free­dom: Moder­ate­ly free: For the first time in 2022, jum­ping two ent­i­re cate­go­ries in that year alo­ne. Ok, who bought off the regu­la­tor? Or… The result of final­ly incre­a­sing the coun­tries grain pro­duc­tion capa­ci­ty by 10x?

Mone­ta­ry free­dom: Below the world average! Most­ly free! At least you can buy what you want! Or could, befo­re the war!

Tra­de Free­dom: Con­stant­ly abo­ve world average, most­ly free - but sin­king, having lost an ent­i­re cate­go­ry in the past five years!

Invest­ment Free­dom: Stron­gly repres­sed! Well below world average!

Finan­cial Free­dom: Stron­gly repres­sed! Well below world average!

Can we get any media state­ments on that? Well of cour­se we can!
