Egg-laying Solovki
Chickens will be bred on Solovki, with the help of which they will raise money for the regional budget - this is how I see the hidden meaning of the news that appeared today about the governor and Solovetsky eggs.
1. Let’s start with the fact that if you ruined a poultry farm on the mainland in collaboration with the same governor ( I’m talking about the Velsk poultry farm) , then where is such confidence that on a remote island, cut off from the mainland for half a year, this poultry farm will suddenly burst into poppy flowers? Are your mental faculties impaired?
2. The price of eggs in winter on Solovki is unlimited - 125 rubles per dozen. But this is on the one hand - from the buyer’s side, comparing with the mainland. From the entrepreneur’s side, I will tell you, dear governor, that the price will decrease only when the price of electricity becomes significantly lower than today’s Solovetsky price - 7.95 per kW; when there will always be fuel, and not intermittently; when the region will finally launch a sea route from Arkhangelsk to Solovki, and not a self-propelled container ship three times over the summer; when an air ticket to Solovki (40 minutes of flight) will cost not 6,500, but at least the same as from Moscow to Warsaw.
3. About subsidies that compensate for delivery. Leave this nonsense to the children and the TV. 2.5 million in 2016 for the Primorsky district? We divide by five ( according to the list of hard-to-reach areas from the decision of the Primorye deputies ) and we get 500 thousand for all entrepreneurs in each village. Here, in Solovki, where they are planning to raise a budget for eggs, there are at least two of them (RaiPO and Karelian meal); not counting the monastic ones, who also import everything, and if anything happens, I’m sure they will receive a subsidy faster than others, because they are always closer to God’s feeding trough. Total - divide 500 by three. Don’t take out your calculators, I already remember that it turns out to be a completely diabolical figure of 166.666667. The monastery will never ask for this alms out of pride, and entrepreneurs - because the papers need to be drawn up for more than 166 thousand, and one charter to Solovki from Vaskovo costs about the same. I know that Solovetsky RaiPO carries out deliveries by plane (on average) once every two weeks, not counting additional loads (this is when there is free space on the plane, so you understand). Even if we assume that the ice lasts from the end of December to the end of May, we get 10 flights. Therefore, it seems to me, there is nothing to be proud of, that the regional budget provides funds to cover 10% of the winter transport costs of one Solovetsky entrepreneur. I won’t say anything about the summer ones, because import volumes are growing, and summer expenses are surpassing winter ones. 2.5 million for the entire Primorsky district is really a joke.
4. Now about the chickens. More precisely, about their eggs. I will say right away that any chicken that survived on Solovki has iron eggs, just like their owners. I don’t know (I hope I don’t know))) those entrepreneurs who breed the governor on winter Solovetsky eggs, but I’m in the know because I eat eggs on Solovki. And if, in the winter, “through an acquaintance” you buy a dozen eggs from a fellow villager you know... lo and behold! they will cost... the same 120 rubles! Do you know why? I specifically called RaiPO and asked a direct question (they hadn’t read the news yet that they would now be filled with eggs!): ...name... Are you planning to open a poultry farm on Solovki? And he received his own direct answer: Oleg, did you fall from the oak tree? This is not profitable!!! For the stupid, I’ll explain more deeply: 30 chickens require 1 ton of feed for the winter, which, with the wonderful Solovetsky delivery, costs 30 thousand rubles. And in winter, at best, a dozen are rushing: the night is polar, the animals smell it too... We get 10 eggs a day from 30 chickens and... we eat this dozen for breakfast with a large family, because there is nothing special to eat on Solovki in winter - there is actually no compensation for delivery! Especially for local entrepreneurs: winter lasts 150 days. If a family eats ten eggs a day, buying them for 125 rubles, it will spend 18,750 rubles. The same family that keeps chickens and eats its dozen will spend 30 thousand rubles. Here you are, identical specialists, and all the fluff to the penny. I won’t say anything about rabbits at all, because sometimes they kill the whole farm, committing self-genocide.
5. Advice to the governor, because the voter has the right to advise, and even demand. Give up this ridiculous idea. You have been set up once again, and the PR department let this nonsense go to print. Next time, I recommend turning to specialists first, and if their numbers aren’t great and it’s hard to listen to them, call me, I’ll explain it in a simple way. And next time it’s worth mentioning subsidies when they become at least 10 times larger. And so - there is no need to disgrace yourself.
