i see people finally found the russia railroad article. i read it several days ago, i can sum it up like this:
1: putin signed a law that abolished the russian ministry of the railway which put rail under the ministry of transportation
2: the ministry of transportation split the profitable parts of rail across several agencies, and the unprofitable parts are neglected and ignored
3: the agencies pretty much randomly split apart their roles and barely work together
4: no salary increases for workers, even under crazy inflation
5: workers are mass quitting for all above reason
6: he wrote this whole section about how pissed he is the trains dont cook their own food anymore and now serve microwaved stuff. it was probably the thing hes more upset about
7: workers are leaving the industry entirely hoping to get out before shit hits the fan and putin panics.
and for those reasons he believes the russian railway will implode.
it has nothing to do with ballbearings.
