In the era of self-isolation, you rejoice at any little thing - the sun in the window, the grass on the lawn, two "eights" who entered the troops.
But I want more, much more! ..

The frayer's greed ruined. Everything has its time, live in Japanese - for nada tarapisa, not nada valnavasa.

A ban on procurement of batches of less than 40-50 units of aircraft should be prescribed in relevant laws. This is a mockery of the plant and the operating organizations, i.e., the budget.
