Five rubles for tea

School lunch with ministerial addition

A task for mathematically gifted kids. From the regional budget it was allocated to the addition to hot nutrition of schoolchildren. The addition amounted to 5 rubles per child. Question: How much degrees will the power after such an additive become?

Now we will try to give this fact concreteness and try to do it carefully - so that the author is not accused of denoting, the newspaper is not closed by the court, and the editorial building was not demolished by a bulldozer.

So, 5 rubles are found in the regional budget by the Ministry of Education of the Omsk Region for the dinner of the local schoolboy from a low -income family. This, as you know, is not 5 gold that Pinocchio once had. If you bury 5 rubles on the field of miracles, then no one will dig them out - do not stir the shovel.

Those who, having fitted the interiors of the pompous halls, are unbridledly applauding speeches with calls to show care of children and have not imagined what is 5 rubles for a long time, it should be explained: in Omsk it is a sixth part of the price of a tram ticket (the question, what a tram is, applauding still does not seem to arise).

Here we can break firewood by the end of the heating season. If we become, like some Omsk media, it is mistaken to link these five -ruble subsidies with the initiative of the president, who proposed to provide primary school schoolchildren with free hot food. It turns out nothing of the kind. The press service of the Omsk ministry has already indicated to reporters that the president’s message had nothing to do with it. It has not yet begun to implement it, and this is only about the everyday annual subsidization of the nutrition of schoolchildren.

That is, while we see the usual concern for children, formed without the direct participation of President Putin, although during his reign.

Moreover, these 5 rubles per nose are not all the love of the Motherland for the Kurnosy citizen. Another 5 rubles should scrape for a low -income student in a local budget - city or district. And for 10 rubles a child can already get a side dish and tea. And, remembering the proverb, to think about whether to share his dinner with his friend.

Of course, for some swallows and ten rubles are not enough. But, let's hope, the kids will become adults and make up for their own. The state care of adults sometimes looks more convincing with us. Let's say, just these days, the long-awaited bill was received by the Karelia Legislative Assembly-labor veterans finally want to increase payments. For twelve years, the elderly people have been waiting for these indexations. It is easy to guess that some did not wait.

It came to the point that the issue of social support for preferential categories of citizens undertook to consider the Constitutional Court of Karelia. The judges saw that not some kind of parasites defend their rights, but, for example, citizens who suffered from political repressions, or participants in the clearance of the territory of the republic in the post-war years. In November, the court recognized the delay in indexing payments illegal, and now it remains only to local deputies to vote for the allowed allowances. And what will happen? Labor veterans will receive 21 rubles more, and the victims of repressions - as much as 23.

This is not Omsk 10 rubles! Rather, not to you, but them. You nor there nothing is supposed to be there at all.
