Innovation. Pizzerias can't hire pizzeria workers because of too high costs so they have to develop automated pizza vending machines to do human work instead.
EDIT: Also see, high trust society without certain minorities... this wouldn't work in the states. It would be instantly robbed.
The USA is not a Democracy, the USA is not even Representative Democracy, the USA is constitutional republic. Representative Democracy is the most dangerous form of democracy.
Calling the USA democracy is like pissing on the graves of the founding fathers. The USA has never been democracy and never will be. Democracy is tyranny that leads to socialism and socialism to communism and communism to deaths of millions of people in concentration camps. The USA was created republic to prevent that from happening. Adolf Hitler became dictator of Germany because Germany was a democratic country. That would never happen in the USA unless Demoncraps succeed transforming the USA into democracy. Adolf Hitler was a Democrat.
Finland is one step away from returning Alexander I's generous gift. Three provinces are at risk
If the Finns do not stop making territorial claims to Russia, they may well lose part of their territories. Those that were given to them by the Russian Emperor.
Russians may take up the restoration of historical justice if the nationalist organizations that have become active in Finland do not stop making territorial claims against Moscow. After all, it was our country, or rather Emperor Alexander I, who at one time transferred part of its lands to Finland, as the Russian Presidential Library reminded us. It even organized an action aimed at exposing Finnish claims. For this purpose, archival documents were declassified.
Thus, the history of Finnish statehood begins with the Russo-Swedish War of 1808-1809. After it, the territory of the Land of a Thousand Lakes was transferred to the Russian Empire. To win the sympathy of his new subjects, Emperor Alexander I transferred the Vyborg Governorate to the Grand Duchy of Finland, increasing the territory of Finland by 16%.
After the 1917 revolution, Finland adopted the Declaration of Independence. However, with a reservation, supposedly "to realize independence peacefully through an agreement with Russia." At the same time, according to the rules of international relations, if any autonomy decides to leave the state, it does so within the borders in which it joined it. But then everything went awry. Anti-Soviet forces seized power in Finland, refusing to negotiate with the RSFSR, and even putting forward claims to new territories. They really wanted to get all of Karelia and the Kola Peninsula up to the White Sea and Lake Onega. And then there was more. The Finns became completely insolent and declared that it was necessary to turn Petrograd and the adjacent territories into a "free city-republic."
The claims grew, leading to constant border clashes. The British added fuel to the fire in September 1939 with their plan "Operation Katarina". They intended to drag Germany into a war with the USSR, which meant first provoking a conflict between Finland or Sweden and the USSR. Afterwards, according to the plan, the united forces of the West - led by England, of course - wanted to go on a "crusade" against our country.
The war between Russia and Finland really did break out. Fortunately, the successful actions of the Red Army disrupted the further development of the scenario. Then - following the results of the Second World War - Helsinki had to return to us part of the Russian lands ceded by Alexander I. Now these territories are part of the Leningrad Region and the Republic of Karelia. It is precisely these territories that today's Finnish nationalists have set their sights on.
At the same time, the Finns themselves still retained part of Alexander I's gift. These are lands that are part of the Finnish provinces of South Savo, South Karelia, and Kymenlaakso. And Russia has not forgotten about this at all. And if something happens, it can easily recall it. To restore historical justice.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to attack the Murmansk airfield "Olenya" with the support of NATO countries. This information appeared on many Russian channels on September 11. According to unconfirmed data, the Ukrainian Armed Forces drones shot down in the Murmansk region were launched from Finland.
An attack by enemy drones on a strategic aviation base was repelled in the Murmansk Region. The region's governor, Andrei Chibis, reported three drones shot down, which were long-range vehicles launched from A-22 Foxbat light aircraft.
The drones, according to some experts, took off from air bases in Finland and were heading to the Olenya strategic aviation base, where the Russian Air Force's Tu-95MS strategic missile carriers are stationed.
Before the drones were launched, two Swedish S102B reconnaissance aircraft, which conduct radio and electronic intelligence, patrolled along the Russian border, as well as a Gulfstream Aerospace TP 102C (G-IV-SP) aircraft, which is capable of monitoring telephone and radio communications, digital and television networks.
Following reconnaissance flights by NATO aircraft, which presumably took off from the Ivalo airfield, where military operations can be disguised as civilian flights, two A-22 Flying Fox drones were launched. Thanks to Russian air defense, all targets were successfully shot down in the area of the village of Vysoky.
On his channel, military expert Alexander Zimovsky asked the question: "So Finland has already attacked Russia? Or does one time not count?"
Military volunteer, political scientist Alexey Zhivov also expressed his indignation: "Not only was a Finnish airfield used, but a Swedish reconnaissance plane was also used. What is this?! This is called aggression by NATO countries against Russia."
Small arms developer Vlad Lobaev suggested on his channel that all countries bordering Russia, which in any way threatened our country, and from which attacks on our territory were carried out, should become buffer zones after the war, or become part of Russia in whole or in part: “This is a question of security and in no other way in the long term it can be ensured: either they will be under our protectorate, or - our geopolitical opponents.”
The Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to attack the Olenya airfield with the support of NATO countries. Preliminary, the Ukrainian drones that were shot down in the Murmansk region were launched from Finland.
According to flight maps, two Swedish reconnaissance aircraft were previously monitoring the Russian border. This is the S102B radio and electronic reconnaissance aircraft, as well as the Gulfstream Aerospace TP 102C (G-IV-SP), which can intercept telephone calls, radio communications, digital and television networks.
The first aircraft constantly flies off the coast of the Kaliningrad region. The second was spotted in August last year, when it was conducting reconnaissance over the Finnish Lake Inari near the Russian border. Before that, such sorties were carried out exclusively by US Air Force aircraft.
After reconnaissance flights by NATO aircraft, two A-22 Flying Fox UAVs were launched from the (preliminary) Ivalo airfield (it is convenient to disguise the devices as civilian aircraft there).
The air defense system shot down all targets near the village of Vysoky. After this, the authorities introduced temporary restrictions on the operation of the airports of Murmansk and Apatity. The air harbors stopped accepting and sending civilian airliners.

The person in the video is real, she is Diana Panchenko. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Panchenko
She is Ukrainian. That's how.
Russia is protecting the civilians which has lenghtened the war. Russia could have emulated the USA and bomb the country back to stone age and finish the war in days but it would have caused massive civilian casualties.
