Comment on Russians Rush for Dollars as Sanctions Threaten Ruble Collapse

Comments

There are an awful lot of videos showing russians lined up at atms. You can only withdrawal $20? Not going to be buying much with that. Most currency exchanges consider their currency worthless.

If the bank run doesnt crush their economy, why even show up to work? You know your employer might not pay you. You know your customers will hoard any money they do have and stay home.

This is going to be insanely bad for the average russian. Will this inconvenience be enough to get the average russian to protest or even overthrow their government? That's their choice to make, if they dont overthrow the government... they support their government's decisions.
