WAPO: Russian economy booming/overheating due to high military pay

Much better article than just the rise of central bank rates to 21%.

It's possible to read between the lines for how the oligarchs are complaining the economy is ruined, vs. high wages for ordinary people making ordinary people better off and happy.

This is a good expectation of what a UBI/Freedom dividends economy would look like when people have the freedom to say no to work offers because they have better options. Except that instead of tying up people into military defense of nation, they can be training for better opportunities than what is currently offered.
