I’m currently try to split my focus between writing this thread and worsening economic data that is coming in. The government is again lowering is GDP numbers. The reported a reduction to 1.5% earlier, the IMF reported a forecast of 0.9% a few weeks ago.
There are now reports of the government lowering it to 1.2%
Several factories switched to 4 day work weeks. There are reports of people being laid off and of people not getting paid. And yet, the labor shortage persists.
KAMAZ thought it would need to go to a 3 day work week

There have been several things that have been bogging down Trucking even more. This is in addition to the chaos caused by Operation Spiderweb. Trucking is Russian Railways main competitor.
Before Operation Spiderweb, we were hearing reports that some people were able to ship via Truck cheaper than Russian Railways. In addition they provided better service overall. It’s unclear where things stand overall currently.
Russian Railways is having to send employees on unpaid leave due to the financial situation.

It is reported that according to Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin, 👉 “Russian Railways tariffs for freight transportation increased by 13.8%” Since the beginning of this year.
But it's kinda hard to trust their data pointing at growth when factories reduce their work weeks🙃
Looking at the numbers, I can't help getting the feeling of a load/displacement graph for buckling behaviour. Dunno when, but if you keep adding load then suddenly it's there
