Second option

“In general, I proceed from the possibility of considering the issue of indexing pensions next year based on inflation, that is, in other words, returning to the procedure that has been in effect for us until now.”

This is Dmitry Anatolyevich again about pensions. After these words, which should be “cast in granite,” there will be more clarity and calm, and it will be easier to “hold on.” Well, everyone’s “health” will increase. Especially in Crimea, where, as it turned out, there is no money even for the Kerch Bridge.

Based on “no money,” Semyon Slepakov composed and sang a song. Five million views in three days. To quote a classic of sports television reporting, “while I say these words, a few more seconds have passed.” While I am writing these lines, the video has been watched by several thousand more. Everyone likes. Everyone is laughing.

You can compose a song about Dmitry Anatolyevich. It's not scary - it's funny. If you sing, no one will come to search you. Well, the maximum they will remove, or rather, you will remove yourself, is an advertising banner, as one of the mobile operators did. “Competitors, but you hang in there! All the best to you, good mood, health!” — a good banner, by the way. It is unlikely that the company would be persecuted for it. Well, we were a little shy about our own creativity.

However, imagine that someone wants to joke about Putin. Yes, I agree, Putin still doesn’t have such a mess. But there is still something to joke about. And sing a song. And five million views would be even faster than three days. But they don't sing. They're not kidding. Unless “in a kind way.” What was called “positive satire” under Soviet rule.

But since there must be an object of ridicule, the head of government was nominated for this position. Before that, he was a little president, now he was a little Parsley.

I don’t envy Dmitry Anatolyevich. It's bad to be parsley. Although... Offer some Russian a choice: remain who you are, that is, nobody - or let the whole country laugh at you, but you are the prime minister, and sometimes even the president?

Who will choose the first option? Well, Dmitry Anatolyevich chose the second one.
