So many base level jobs are being replaced with automation which means that tons pf people may not find work. The driver is the increasing cost of employing real humans and the perceived efficiency of robots and automation. There is a cost to society though.

We think there’s going to be a future outbreak of a coronavirus,” said Dr Manish Sagar, senior author of the study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. “Vaccines potentially could be improved if we could replicate some of the immune responses that are provided by natural infection.”

isn't this what a normal vaccine is supposed to do?

If that were true the Russians would be welcoming these measures rather than the current attempt at trying to convince the rest of the world that the measures haven't worked

Are they? I think we can objectively see that they havent worked and that many EU countries have suffered adverse consequences. Of course Russia doesnt want to see its assets confiscated and especially not used to fund Ukraine. But that doesnt mean they are achieving their initially intended purpose.

Sending messages will be of limited help to Ukraine. And sending this kind of message to other countries that hold assets in the EU or US will have a deleterious impact on the attractiveness of doing so.

None of, these measures appear to have worked. And the adverse consequences for many of the EU countries have been real. My guess is that this will further damage the integrity of the global financial system. And do little to improve the prospects for Ukraine in the war.

2020

I have no special knowledge beyond what is being reported on both sides.

However the fact that we are constantly being told Ukraine will win while the actual tide of the war appears to be going against them does seem relevant.

Also you say "stated objectives". Not sure where Putin said he wanted regime change or to conquer all of Ukraine.........

That Russia have lost the war.

Also they wont suffer high casualties from bombarding the place. The "human wave" trope is just that. No evidence for it.

Russia has thousands of tanks and the like. Losing 130 is not meaningful.
