The internet curates the truly stupid ones for me. It's astonishing how many brain cells you can numb with only 240 characters.

My wife works in consulting and her company has a small branch in Ukraine. The group lead texted about needing a "shadow group" to handle the Ukraine workload because, "they're in a very difficult stage to work."
Understatement?!
Perhaps they're busy sending their families to Poland and picking up their free AR's...

She said everything is shut down. No banks, fuel, food, it's all screeching to a halt. My family pooled a little money together and sent it over. But with banks not being open, it's hard to get cash. Last i heard they were looking for a way to travel and move out.
Go read Reddit, it's all basically saying the same thing.

My uncle Mikes wife is Ukrainian, her entire family is still over there on the eastern side of the country.

Crazy thing--I'm hearing major rumblings that Canadians are pulling their money out of Canadian banks, after Trudeau used the freezing of accounts as a major threat to protestors. It may be enough to topple some banks , or perhaps even the system? Serious things are happening, and it's closer than Ukraine.

I can imagine the very similar conversations which must have taken place among my father / uncles / grandparents in the late 1950s.
