I adore Moscow to tears, after all it is my hometown. What Sobyanin has made her into is fantastic.
But I certainly don't understand our national priorities.
The country is at war. Business taxes are raised. The economy is shaking. And against this background, we see amazing budget arithmetic.
66 billion is the cost of the new circus in Moscow.
Now let's look at the federal budget:
20 yards - fight Russian internet blocking.
8.7 billion - for the development of AI.
3.9 billion - for the federal oncology project.
Yes, these are different budgets. Yes, the circus was not built in one year. But we have one country! And the question is actually about priorities.
In an era of global technological redistribution, we are willing to spend more on blocking than on developing artificial intelligence. And the best thing is that our office is called the Office for Digital Development. B****, development!
Do I want a chic circus in Moscow? Of course I do! But I also want our areas to be protected from drones, for people to have something to take care of, and for the country to have a technological future.
Because it seems we already have a circus. And it's damn expensive.
Hello everyone, aggressors.
