かん汗ぎゅう牛じゅう充とう棟

Books are extremely many, loaded on an oxcart the ox will sweat.
At home piled to the ridgepole of the house, from this meaning.

Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, the sanctions have deeply hurt Russia's economy. So can't just russia open up a full-on copy of mcdonald's to support it? Like no differences, just PURE copying. What are mcdonald's going to do? Invade russia with their private militia? I suppose the russian government and their laws could allow it to fix the broken economy. So I wonder, why hasn't something like this happened yet?
(I'm more than happy for anyone to answer me, this thought has been stuck in my head for way too long now)

they have been doing exactly that, just with a different brand

Spoiler:
Most Western companies in Russia are/were managed by the parent brand. Some exceptions aren't, like Subway, which are locally-owned and operated. When companies pull out of a national market, they also pull their supply chains and investments (what they can anyway: a lot of materiel was simply expropriated by the Russian state). Local Russian companies trying to replace Western equivalents may have the retail space and equipment, but need to find affordable suppliers for the stuff the company they're replacing previously sold to consumers. This is easier said than done, because Western companies are able to have so much reach into various world markets because of their favourable access to resources. Think of Coca-Cola investing in mango farms in Africa and India, destroying local economics but sourcing cheap fruits. Russian replacements don't have these and have to make do with what they can, with the choice of either providing subpar products or raising prices for customers. Typically they do the former because they want to provide an equivalent replacement. There are already tons of local restaurants and food markets of all sorts in Russia, but they're usually selling food and drinks from across the Russian economic empire.
Apparently, Vkusno i tochka (the replacement for McDonald's) has had trouble procuring potatoes of all things. There's also the pseudo-Starbucks, Stars, which is my favourite because it's an absolute copy of the original but the mermaid in the logo is replaced by a woman in a kokoshnik hat.

Added a few new FB friends, and suddenly my suggested posts are including a lot of weird Indian nationalist and pseudohistory pages. The thing is, none of these friends is Indian, so I'm not sure if there's any connection.
O walls, you have held up so much tedious graffiti that I am amazed you have not already collapsed in ruin.
Electric bikes are amazing. I can actually commute back to civilisation while still getting my exercise in now!

I wanted to rent a scooter initially, but I didn't bring my license with me so I went for the bike instead. Best decision ever. I can bike through all the same parts I did before but make them as easy or difficult as I want!

Yeah, but have you heard Killer Instincts OST? Even when you're being beaten to the ground it's a treat.
