The NY Times has recently reported that In Hard Times, Russia Tries to Reclaim Industries. ‘Hard’ is thus being added to the already known list of times the Kremlin is trying to reclaim industries, which currently includes ‘easy’, ‘difficult’, ‘soft’, ‘challenging’, ‘flaccid’, ‘early afternoonish’, ‘over morning tea’, ‘sunny’, ‘rainy’, ‘recessionary’, ‘expansionary’, ‘yesterday’, ‘tomorrow’, ‘optimistic’, ‘pessimistic’, ‘night’, and ‘14:34 to 17:12’. On a more positive note for Oligarchs, triangulating this information reveals that there will be no attempts to reclaim industries from 11:02 – 11:15 next Wednesday, while the Kremlin holds a brief coffee & cake gathering in slightly overcast weather to celebrate their successful reclamations in both past and future troubled, jubilant times.
