>>No Soviet menace there, is there?
Some of my best friends are Russian, or at least USSR. I ain't afraid of no boogeyman.
Hope you guys can get it sorted. Meanwhile your economy is booming and you're well placed for the upcoming robotic revolution thanks in part to Bad Orange Man... but not the House that's more interested in Stasi pursuit of tax returns and "if we keep looking long enough surely he must be guilty of something... anything!"
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
