Pulse Polling

See if he's got a pulse.
I think so, but it's very weak. What should we do? 
We need to take him to hospital. Did you call an ambulance?
No, I didn't want to do anything without you telling me.
You did well, but the ambulance should have been called even if I hadn't told you, we don't understand ourselves, look, we don't even know if he has a pulse. 
***
That's what you normally think of when you think of pulse-testing, isn't it?
But no, we as a society have been like guinea pigs for a long time. 
It's a constant pulse-testing of the society!
Throw something out, then see if there is a reaction from the society. If there is no reaction, no problem, you can do whatever you want to do.
If what you want to do is very important to you and there is a reaction, try to suppress it somehow first. 
Is it OK? Did the reactions stop? 
If so, it's okay again, keep doing what you're doing. 
Look, if there are serious reactions, you can step back for a while, even if you don't want to.
Then you can try again when things calm down.
The nation has also got used to it, somehow, depending on the reactions of some segments, I think the government does not push some issues that much. 
It immediately takes a step back.
However, if you look at it, it is gradually doing what it wants.
***
Do you want an example? 
Recently, there has been a whisper that there will be a tax on waiters' tips and couriers' labour.
This issue was discussed in the society. 
I don't know where and from whom the reaction came from and they took a step back. 
I don't know how to measure these things, I think they are using survey companies.
After all, they say there is no such thing for now. 
Who is spreading such rubbish news?
Don't demoralise us in the morning!

Is this a good way of governing the country?
Apparently, since the government has been in power for so long, it may or may not be good, but it is a valid method.
We call it pragmatism, and this is where this pragmatism comes from.
We have really turned into guinea pigs for a long time.
If you want to do something, you have to prepare the ground.
As they say, those who want to steal the minaret prepare the cover, this is the rule of this business. 
The point we have reached is not a good point if you look at the country in general.
What is the aim?
Is it to govern the country?
If they could govern properly, no one would have any objections.
However, when the issue is just to stay in power, the government has to make concessions to the jackals around it.
Of course, when these concessions include some negotiations behind closed doors that you and I do not understand, this is where the country has come for many years.

The economy is in a mess. And the reason for this is obvious. They conducted an experiment in the country that nobody understood until yesterday and they messed it up. 
What was this experiment?
Interest is the cause, inflation is the effect! I'm an economist! 
The result?
The result is obvious, an out of control inflation! 
Inflation is actually an unfair tax levied by the state on citizens.
Mostly, it leads to a result where those who have money add money to their money, while those with low incomes are crushed under inflation.
Then you have to add a lot of water to the soup in order to get the flavour right.
This is like adding water to cooked food. When you put it on the table, it will have no flavour.
***
In this inflationary environment, those who have no food to put on the table on the one hand, and those who go on holiday to the Greek islands on the other, the holiday has somehow ended. Easy to say, it was a full nine-day holiday.
It was a long holiday while the country was in such a difficult economic situation.
Now life resumes where it left off. 
It has become clear that foreign investments will not come, no matter how much they tell foreign financial institutions, no one trusts them. No one is bringing money. If there are investors coming, they bring only a limited amount of hot money. They are also looking for an opportunity. They are dreaming of getting away with their money at any moment.
There is a desire to reduce the rate of foreign currency deposit accounts, but domestic investors are hesitant to reduce these accounts because they do not trust the government.
In my opinion, these are not accounts that will cover the real inflation loss, but I guess they are the lesser of two evils. Therefore, the rate of these accounts is still quite high. 
The consequence is that the central bank has to constantly cover this loss. In other words, printing money, which means that inflation will rise again.
It's officially in a spiral.

Is it gonna get better?
They're trying, they need to find money and they're trying to squeeze the fat out of the fly.
That's why they've been testing the waters.
They made us guinea pigs, do rats have any objection to these experiments?
I don't think so, because they are guinea pigs.
***
Take another look, does he really have no pulse?
Reyiz, I don't understand. If it's beating, I think it's very weak.
Where's that ambulance? Call them again. 
It seems that whatever we do won't help. There are people in the ambulance who know what to do, maybe they can save the patient.
Go ahead, call the ambulance one more time!
Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
