WTO

On the twelfth comment of the day about joining the WTO, I decided to write a post. If there is anything positive about United Russia, it is that it votes for these things. The opposition, thoroughly leftist and populist, votes against it.

What's so scary about this WTO? Where did the myth come from that we will all almost die from the WTO? After all, the whole world plays on the field of trade according to WTO rules. And we - as in that old saying: the whole company does not march in step, but one soldier does not march in step. Firstly, every person, as a consumer, benefits from increased competition. Because due to competition, the price falls and the quality rises. And this is 100% of cases. Monopoly is the opposite. The price goes up and the quality goes down. Need an example? See Gazprom and tariffs for housing and communal services. If our producers are protected all their lives by duties, etc., consumers will look longingly at imported goods. These are the advantages.

There are also disadvantages. Someone will certainly become overexerted from this competition and drop out of the race.

Separately, I would like to discuss Yaroslavna’s cry about small and medium-sized businesses. About the fact that the WTO means death and other troubles for them. Their death is not from the WTO, but from the cops, corruption, theft and government intervention in the form of a lack of justice. If you remove all these problems, then they will tear anyone within the WTO, like Tuzik’s slipper. So all our problems are not external, but internal.

And I don’t believe in any conspiracy. Unlike the woman Veronica Krasheninnikova who struck me in the very heart. She is St. Petersburg's agent in the USA. (I didn’t know this could happen). I listened to a discussion with her on Ekho Moskvy. I went nuts. I have never seen such an uncomplicated example of a dream of reason that gave birth to monstrous conspirators.
