Sometimes you have to shout to change things?

There are labor markets for construction work. There are often such scenes in old movies. You go and choose the workers you need. They all cry out in eagerness, choose me, choose me. Because they need work and if you choose him, he will be able to work that day. At least he will be fed for that day. He will earn a day's wages.

I am the chosen one, my friend, what is happening to you? 

Yes, being chosen, being preferred gives a person power. 

It brings self-confidence from deep within and flatters your pride. It is important to be chosen!

There are labor markets for construction work. There are often such scenes in old movies. You go and choose the workers you need. They all cry out in eagerness, choose me, choose me. Because they need work and if you choose him, he will be able to work that day. At least he will be fed for that day. He will earn a day's wages. 

That's why he tries to stand out from the crowd, he cries out, choose me, choose me.

Actually, politicians are no different from those workers. They too say choose me, choose me at rallies. 

It is us, the society! Just like those who chose workers in that car.

But there is a difference between choosing a politician and choosing a worker from the labor market.

For some reason, politicians become lions after they are elected. 

You can't get near them easily anymore. 

They have the latest model cars under each of them, bodyguards around them, and no one has a chance to get near them. 

We see them from afar with the arrogance that I created this world, they don't even feel the need to mingle with the public. Most of them don't want to mingle with the public anyway, some can't even if they want to, they are afraid of the reactions. 

As long as they get elected. Until they cross the bridge, until they take the horse and cross Üsküdar. Politics works differently for us. 

As soon as he is elected, the politician feels that he has taken a seat at the head of the spring. 

He is now the one who distributes God's water flowing from the spring. He has already spent a lot of money to get to that place. He does not hesitate, he drinks from that spring as much as he wants.

Politics is expensive. It's not easy, you have to spend so much! You may have spent for nothing. But if you are elected, if you live, you will have the chance to recoup your expenses. 

Yes, he's no different from those workers. Choose me, choose me! That's what happens before elections. But that's all until the elections are over! If you get elected, you're the king!

Once we needed a worker and we chose one from the labor market. I still remember that day. After a few days of work, we paid them and sent them away, because our urgent work in the field was over quickly.

We usually work with workers we know in construction. We prefer the teams we trust. 

And we know almost every employee of the teams. You have to be like this, because construction is serious work. 

First of all, construction sites are dangerous. You can't just let anyone into the construction site. There are rules, the worker you employ must obey them. 

And he must know the job. You will know who can do what.

I don't think politicians should be just anybody!

If you choose him, you have to be sure that he will do the job correctly. 

And to be sure, you have to know who you're electing. 

You have to know them, so you can be sure they will follow the rules!

So how many of the politicians we elect do we know?

Okay, let's say we know the ones who are in the public eye, we don't know them personally, we can say that we know the ones who talk the talk as much as they talk. Otherwise, it is impossible to know who they really are. 

Some of them appear on the screens and express their opinions. That's how much we know. 

Although it is not clear how sincere they are in the ideas they express, they still reveal themselves more or less.

Well, there are so many deputies in the parliament, some of them have not even once stood on the podium and uttered a single word. How can we know them? 

I remember, in the first days of the parliament after the IBB elections, the work of the new parliament had just started to be broadcast live. I was eagerly watching it on the internet, many council members had switched sides on the very first day. I remember, declarations, declarations...

It seemed strange to me that right after the elections, in the very first meeting, statements were read out saying that he had joined this party, that party had joined that party. I don't even know who is who, but it seemed strange.

Before the elections, a big bargain is made on the list by list of who will enter the elections in how many places from whose list. This is a difficult stage both for those who want to be elected and for those who prepare the lists. I have no idea how these things are done, who chooses who and how and puts them on the list.

If we are building a new team in a new job, I don't even know which worker does what and how in the field. If it's teams I've worked with before, I know the head of the team, I know most of the team, but when the teams were formed, some went to another job, new workers joined the team in the new job. Now you have to trust the head of the team. 

For some jobs, you have to find brand new teams, and if it's a new team, you look at the list of work they have done before to make the right choice. You examine where and what work he has done, if necessary, you go and look at his work on site, you examine how he did it on site. 

Or you talk to the employers they have worked with before, find out how they did the job, what problems they had, and try to decide accordingly. We call it references, we examine the references of the new team from the beginning, and then we give them the job.

But that's not all, then we keep an eye on the new teams in the field, we closely examine their work. At first, everyone is a bit new, we mostly describe what we want them to do and how we want them to do it. Maybe we turn a blind eye to the mistakes they make for a certain period of time. 

However, as I said, construction is a serious business, and if they fail to deliver the desired performance, no matter what we do, we don't waste any more time, we immediately replace the incompetent ones.

While things are so serious in the field, is the country's administration less serious? 

Don't we make the elections in the first place? 

If the politician is incompetent, why don't we replace him/her on time? 

What, is running a country less serious than construction work? 

Why shouldn't we have the right to replace the incompetent on time? Why do we have to wait for the next elections?

The fish stinks from the beginning. I think the system was set up wrong from the very beginning. 

We think that we are the ones making the choices, but we don't even know the people we choose. 

We don't even do the actual elections! Whoever prepares the lists is actually making the choice! 

As the system is like this, those who want to be elected naturally approach those who prepare the lists. 

Those cries of "choose me, choose me" are not for you and me, but for those who prepare the lists!

In those choose me rallies that are held for you and me before the elections, you are only deceived. You are not the voter. 

Because the voter should also have the right to change the list in time if it is not working. You have to wait for the next elections.

As I said, the system was set up wrong from the beginning. You will understand this the day you realize that you are the main responsible. On that day, maybe you will demand it.

Maybe when that day comes, you will realize that the incompetent should be replaced on time. Maybe you will build such a system.

For now, keep believing the lies of politicians. Make do with the bulgur pasta they give you.

One more piece of advice, if you don't have a job, maybe you should go to the labor market. 

If someone comes and chooses you, at least you will earn a wage so that you can buy something to boil your pot for the evening. 

But remember, you'll have to stand out there shouting "pick me, pick me!

Otherwise you'll have to wait for the next day to be able to work for a day.  

If you don't shout loud enough, no one will hear you! That's how it is.

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
