          Belarus lived and still lives at the expense of duty-free Russian oil with all the consequences. And due to Russian loans. Belarus will not last long without this. The fact that it is pure - yes, but there is no development, the entire Soviet and main sales market is Russia. And this is exactly so and not otherwise.

    1) -increasing the retirement age. Explain how this grandfather or grandmother who barely moves can work after 60 years of a man and after 55 years of a woman ???? They will die right at work. Of course, this deputy, official, director, does nothing, doesn’t lift anything harder than horseradish, or doesn’t think like an engineer, a scientist, he can live up to 120 years. And how people who work ???? On hard and hazardous work: loaders, collective farmers, welders ??? They barely survive to the USSR retirement age barely. And they still raise the retirement age. The retirement age must be returned to the USSR: men at 60 years of retirement, women at 55 years of retirement, power structures at 45 years old .And for those people who want to work voluntarily and at their own will, and not forcibly and can work, just give work. But do not force everyone to work after the USSR retirement age (men after 60 years, women after 5 years, power structures and military after 45 years).
    2) The tax on the unemployed. Here explain to the people, people, where does the unemployed have money for that tax on the unemployed, if he has no job, that is, he has nowhere to earn money ???? And he didn’t die from what his wife, husband, children, brother, sister, parents or all together contain. with unemployed).
    3) In the seniority, now the service in the army and maternity leave of the mother to care for the child are not counted.
    4) Great unemployment and salary-bowl of pottage of workers.
    5) A big difference between social inequality between ordinary people and deputies, officials and directors. In salary, including VERY BIG. Cronyism and matchmaking. I agree, let them get more, But not more than four times more, the lowest paid a worker in the country. Want to get more — no question — increase the salary of the lowest paid workers — and you will get a salary four times that.

      We have ALL PEOPLE, THE WHOLE PEOPLE, ALL OF BELARUS: young, old pensioners, working and children- AGAINST RISING PENSION AGAINST THIS KABALA AND PREFERENCE. Pensioners-children have grandchildren — they don’t have such a lot of jobs. they don’t want to raise their retirement age, die at work. Children understand everything and do not want such a slavish attitude to themselves. And against the tax on the unemployed, in general, the complete lack of brains for those who introduced and came up with these laws, for Lukashenka, including. Where do unemployed people get money in general if they don’t have money to earn money ??? ? But these people did not die just because their parents contain children or a brother or sister or all together. And then these people-bang and they say-you still pay the money-tax on the unemployed-because you can not earn.
      Putin then, you didn’t raise the retirement age, didn’t introduce a tax on the unemployed. Well, you want to call this tax on the unemployed a tax on medicine, Alexei Kudrin and all these traitors. But the essence of the name doesn’t change — it must be paid by the unemployed .
      And for the entry of Belarus into the Russian Orthodox Christian Russia.

    Military service and maternity leave do not count towards the length of service, which is not good. The length of service counts as maternity (child care) not more than 9 years. Regarding the tax on the unemployed, low salaries, retirement age - the theory of relativity, with whom to compare ... with the West, Ukraine, etc. Unemployment: who wants to work - looking for work, who does not want - looking for excuse.

    This means that the indicators have improved, since Thailand has been squeezed. Once Ukraine was mentioned
    Researchers use 65 criteria, which are grouped into the following groups: tourism, cultural influence, entrepreneurship, inheritance, openness to business, global influence, quality of life, economic growth and concern for citizens. The lowest indicators of Ukraine are openness for business and quality of life - 75 and 72 places respectively.

    This year
    Ukraine has risen four positions.
