       It was probably about half a year ago or so when I posted about how narratives were being pushed in the Russian media, about how immigrants were making surprisingly good money driving taxis in Moscow, during a self-inflicted wartime labor shortage...Have no fear. The Russian government has fixed the problem, taking over the market, throwing immigrants out of work, closing major businesses, and making cabs slow, inconvenient, expensive proxies of the surveillance state.https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/09/22/russias-taxi-industry-hits-a-breaking-point-as-prices-soar-migrants-shut-out-and-options-shrink-a90429

       @KraftTea Good. Why would an average Russian citizen even need a taxi? Certainly not to get to work. And with the ongoing labour force shortages they shouldn’t be wasting their time for any other activities, right?
