I’ve got it installed via github but it doesn’t show up in the search in the playstore for me
Yeah I did a bit of looking around recent headlines and see similar sentiments:

I guess we’ll see if they can dodge another bullet
It’s looking like no one really knows - seeing mixed signals in the recent reporting. They are reporting higher GDP but the concern seems to be projected inflation increases and a possible housing bubble.
When diving into the reporting, I found some interesting nuggets referring to Putin directing his interior ministers toward manual economic controls since 2014. The thought is in mitigating crises (Crimea and now Ukraine). From looking at China, manual controls seem to work in the short term before mistakes set in long term. Curious to see how much longer Russia can hold out.

For the context of this article the US has provided 43.9 billion in military aid (defined as military equipment or weapons) as opposed to the UK’s 6.57 Billion. By a large margin that is the most tangible assistance provided to Ukraine than any other country participating. The US could provide more funding, but money is not nearly as useful as already produced and available military equipment in the immediate term. I just hope the US can continue to assist, but Congress won’t pass anything it seems (see the less than 25 bills passed this session).
Not an argument at all but rather a discussion on what has been provided. I think we’re both in the same page in terms of support for Ukraine. We can always do more but I just wanted to provide insight into what has been done. Unfortunately the US isn’t all aligned on this issue which causes the roadblock.
From a policy perspective what would you like to see from the US?
Lol - from the South China Morning Post sourced from the China Academy of Science. I have a hard time accepting this as anything beyond attempted good PR. I wonder how this squares with the demographic and real estate issues China is facing.
