The taste of victory

Dear editors !

The most important thing that happened to the country in recent days - what are the days, months, if you count from March - this, of course, is the triumphal victory of the Russian national team over our Saudi Friends in Oil Barreley. 5: 0, colleagues - this is an account that not only the noteless spitens did not expect, but even a patriotic audience. This is an account that will enter our team in the history of football in gold letters, which not only our children, but also our grandchildren will recall!

It would seem that the joy of the great victory should be public and unshakable, but there are people, with the allowing us to say our fellow citizens, who are trying to find their favorite spoon of tar in a barrel of honey of our life. You can find this spoon with difficulty, but if desired, of course, you can. And since there is a desire, the fellow citizens found this spoon. Raising the retirement age.

Yes, our government decided to increase the retirement age to 65 years for men and up to 63 years for women. A very reasonable and verified decision: the thresholds accepted many decades ago for retirement were focused on completely different life realities. Since then, life expectancy has increased significantly, and the birth rate has fallen. There are more and more pensioners, the ratio of the number of pensioners to the number of able -bodied citizens is growing. Therefore, the only opportunity to preserve the pension system in a state of equilibrium is to increase the retirement age.

But no, rational arguments do not apply to our public, she shouts that working people are robbing, that they offend women for whom they increase their retirement age by as much as eight years. Have mercy, gentlemen, but women live much longer than men, they bury us and then spend time in the company of their friends! Why would the state sponsor their pleasant pastime?

But our people tend to act for selfish considerations, regardless of the interests of the state. They would have to tear off an extra penny from society and the state, and there at least the grass is not to grow. Well, of course, all sorts of politicians and trade unions are bought. To ban them all as subversive organizations that put sticks in the wheels by the development of our economy!

Oddly enough, even individual liberals oppose raising the retirement age: they say, robots will crowd out people in the advancing post -industrial economy, so the question arises of how to occupy the existing population. And he will become even more serious when raising the retirement age. Again, liberals say, the budget will save money on transfers to the Pension Fund only to send it to all sorts of Rotenberg and Timchenko to the “forces of Siberia” and bridges to Sakhalin.

My friends! Bridges and pipelines are direct investments in the development of our economy. And Rotenbergs and Timchenko, unlike Deripaska and Abramovich, invest money not in yachts and Chelsea, but in the economy of our country. And if something is terribly sanctional happens to us, they will certainly come to the aid of Russia.

But these are general reasoning, and it is especially strange to complain about raising the retirement age by scientists for whom work is happiness. Look at the wounds: scientists have a heyday for 60, 70, 80 years - it is at this age that genuine maturity and greatness come, they begin to determine priorities and conduct examination, reward each other with all sorts of awards.

If I mentioned the academy. And everything is not smooth there, and the academics found their spoon of tar. Like, to the presidential bill expanding the rights of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the government introduced its amendments, which emasculate the presidential initiative. Academics complain that the presidential bill gave RAS the right to coordinate or not coordinate decisions on the liquidation or reorganization of scientific institutions, and the government offers the Russian Academy of Sciences not to coordinate, but to “consider” such decisions. Academics say that this destroys the rule of “two keys”, that only a window or picture can be considered, that this reduces the functionality of the academy. It is a pity, of course, to upset large scientists, but the functionality of the academy was cut five years ago, and it was time to get used to it, to stop suffering with phantom pains of cut off institutions.

Concentrate on the positive, gentlemen of the academicians: you have already retired, and the increased scholarship is quite allowed to consider the windows. Not to mention the fact that we beat the Saudis!
