That is [Oleg Deripaska](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Deripaska).
Apparently Business Insider is paywalled for some people? But this story has been covered by other sources, for example [NDTV](https://www.ndtv.com/feature/12-hour-a-day-6-days-a-week-russian-billionaire-calls-for-longer-work-weeks-to-boost-economy-11291272) and [United24](https://united24media.com/latest-news/russian-billionaire-deripaska-proposes-12-hour-workday-to-save-economy-17412).
isn’t this the dude who was getting polling info from Trump’s campaign manager in 2016?
Yes make people work more. Funny how that’s always the solution
I feel like not wasting billions of man-hours on invading Ukraine would be even better for the Russian economy…
You first
Starting..not with him :))).
It will help the economy to take his money and put them in the economy and send him to gulag to work 12h shifts.
Yo putin, make it happen :)))
Billionaires can fuck off
Billionaires really want people so tired from working that you can’t do anything else. Busy mind don’t ask for more.
No thanks. I’ll take my 36h/week with 26 days off. Thank you very much.
This would only make Russians revolt, which is good.
Always funny how it’s never “tax oligarchs properly” or “stop burning money on war,” but “regular folks should work more.” Maybe focus on productivity and wages first?
How about nahhhhhhhhhhhh
Doesn’t look like a guy that works 12h/6days.
Maybe the RU economy is collapsing because of him.
Im not going to tell them, not do it.
Russia is actively at war with us, just incase you forgot. Their advice will be bad by design.
Completely unrelatedly, “paska” means “shit” in Finnish.
We do not need advice from a man who’s afraid of the word Windows.
They can work till the cows come home but that won’t make more people want to buy things.
Literally who?
Ah yes Peter Mandelson’s sailing buddy.
Sure, make the birthrate plummet even further.
It feels like just eating a few billioners could help the economy
Merz would prefer the same in Germany.
Difference Russia is at war, Germany is not.
Freedom Through Slavery
996. Must be all that time they spend with the chinese
At the same pay, as he skipped to mention.
He can be the first to start working like that. Fuck this world. I already feel like I work for nothing and is not great. How do people just been brainwashed for such a shitty system in this life is beyond me anyway. Working where half your shit goes to the “taxes” and old fucks just starting war from boredom making the economy even shittier… I genuine don’t understand how we just sit and accept everything.
I mean for a year or 2 but that kills birth rates
Maybe it would be even better for the economy if there wasn’t a class of parasites who only seem to exist to siphon off the wealth better people create.
Russian billionaire says something stupid because if he said what everyone is thinking, he would make an unfortunate fall out of a window in a tall building.
Russia teaching the rest of the Neoliberal world order how to really do Capitalism.
Maybe if their economy had 1.25 million more workers they wouldn’t need that…
Too bad they got those workers all killed trying to invade Ukraine.
You know what could save more world economies? Ending illegal wars (and just … war in general). That would do it for sure. Forcing people to slave away longer for rich old white dudes? Not so much.
Slavery even better s/
Getting the fuck out of Ukraine is not on the table just as an option? Just hypothetically? I’m asking for a friend.
Do the Russians love constantly having a boot on their throat?
