The Hill Discovers Russia Has Labor Shortages, Not US Hospitals
The Hill breathlessly reports Russia's severe worker shortage is 'luring foreigners into sweatshops,' painting a vivid picture of economic desperation. This, of course, comes courtesy of a 2017 'opinion' piece from the Atlantic Council, a think tank funded by defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing – companies that profit handsomely from the very conflicts creating these
labor shortages. It's almost as if demonizing a geopolitical rival serves a purpose beyond journalistic integrity. One might wonder if The Hill plans a similar expose on the US healthcare system, which lost 15% of its workforce after a pandemic, or the precarious state of agricultural labor. But no, only Russia's 'sweatshops' deserve prime real estate. Perhaps if Russia would just buy more F-35s
from LockMart, their labor woes would magically disappear from the mainstream narrative.
