An electric scooter service just became the only company to pull off an initial public offering in Russia this year

Whoosh, which made its debut on Wednesday, said that it had raised 2.1 billion rubles through the listing, giving it a valuation of 20.6 billion rubles . “In four years, we have gone from a startup to the leader of the Russian [scooter sharing] market, making electric scooter travel a familiar mode of transport,” Whoosh CEO Dmitry Chuiko said in a statement. But shares were priced on the low end of the company’s expected range.

Hundreds of Western companies — from oil giants and tech brands to carmakers, banks and fast food chains — have quit Russia this year. McDonald’s is now called “Vkusno i tochka”, or “Tasty, and that’s it,” and Starbucks cafes have reopened under the barely disguised brand Stars Coffee. The country’s main stock index is down 43% year-to-date, while US stocks are just 15% lower. Last year, there were six IPOs in Russia, according to data from Dealogic.

Railroad unions hopeful Biden will act to give workers paid sick time | CNN BusinessRailroad workers may yet get the paid sick days that were at the heart of their threat to go on strike – if the Biden administration steps in with an executive order. FFS with the EOs. Crimony! What a bunch of crybabies... 'On average, railroad workers make an annual salary of $64,210. Depending on the position, salaries may be higher or lower.' Not too shabby with just a high school diploma required to start working on the railroad. All the live long day. Why have labor/management discussions when the president can impose and then modify any agreement? I must have missed the change in government from of the people to ruled by decree
