Who today is not crazy, is itself to blame, because our perception is wild pig. We see something different from what we hear.
savings deposits are safe, Russia is able to anticipate the crisis, the ruble is like a German oak. All hear our more or less small ears.
But what we see? Everything, absolutely everything is more expensive monkey-like speed, and although heavy. Within a day of price increase for bread in a private bakery by 60 rubles! The sandwiches are as big as wagon wheels, so we usually buys only a quarter of bread, and must lie down for 15 rubles more. Is it possible to somewhat justified by the crisis? Cutthroat still want to quickly enter their hay. But you should drive carefully, because such an approach can be something very quickly to break the axle.
In the supermarkets, the mountains are on the shopping cart noticeably smaller, though it is cheaper there than in the many mom and pop stores, which are densely planted hidden in the neighborhoods. There is much more expensive and less fresh because the car-less buyers, especially the pensioners, can not go in large markets, not to buy such quantities.
Fruit and vegetable markets, all firmly in the hands of "Businessmeny," which means something like entrepreneurs from the former Asian Soviet republics long, the buyers especially deep in the pocket. Not only for exotic fruits, but also for the native red beet, carrot and the apple Anton prices rose in the last two weeks felt. Crisis is here, obviously, that you have to sell everything quickly and more expensive.
even the front market building offshore busy Omi, which sold off the Anton apples from their dacha had doubled the price the same. Do not show off a mess. "My child, we have the crisis," she explained to me willingly. Although I had the apples for my morning juice cocktail can really use, I gave her a basket.
On the weekend market, his sales tents each week, from Friday to Sunday deployed at the metro station, one fruit and vegetables, honey, candy, homemade bacon, pickled cucumber , tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic and the famous sauerkraut from the regions of Russia to buy some very reasonably priced.
So leave me cold, the astronomical prices of the Asians.
shoes, children's clothing and textiles of all kinds, weird hats and all sorts of nonsense as Vendors of Belarus in their tents. For families on a budget a real Mecca.
The price of oil drops and falls, some naßforsche statement must be withdrawn. For example, on the ruble. A total crash as on 08.17.1998, there will in no case, they say, but little by little, he is probably his position against the dollar (of course also have to give up the €). And right, see what our eyes inflamed? At all money changers and banks us laugh every day against new and higher courses.
The smart people seek the ruble from savings socks and a pillow case and enters them into the change rooms. In the banks less, of course there is usually even worse. If, indeed, the pilgrims in the exchange offices abound, the sum is limited. Resulting in a further onslaught. ("Imagine times before, all the dollars!") Then happened a few days with the courses as good as anything, to lull the vigilance of the Umtauschwütigen, and then sent the ruble again climbing course.
The ingenuity knows no limits. Too often the people I was asked currency conversion and devaluation against hard facts. When it gets close to the private coffers are then remains of all sorts of currencies that are lying around for business trips and vacation leave somewhere scraped together, and carried into the currency exchange. This helps then again a little further.
Apart from the insatiable Dödeln to keep prices stable or even increase, while the people purchasing power to dissolve into thin air, it is yes very soon have to come to a price reduction so at all someone buys something. As we have in Moscow but throughout the country the worst cards have settled here because an awful lot of money bags, which are prices matter, they look not even go there. Let's hope that it's not that far that they too must take one day at the price tags.
The period before the crisis can be despite all the justified criticism certainly be described as stable and rich perspective. You could feel the positive development of normal. An infallible indicator of the birth rate. In the 90 years, pregnant women are now a rarity, demography was disastrous figures showed. Of 10 pregnancies were interrupted 8, born from the 2 children was one more thing to the orphanage.
controlled with reasonable measures the government to 2000, apparently against and the first results. Young parents decide to return for children, not only for a single. The second child mothers capital is paid around 7000 €. This money is in the bank and may only be used for purposes kindgerchte. Parallel to this, mothers get to the end of the first year of the child almost 200 € and free baby food. This is in comparison to earlier times, a huge advance.
The current wave of layoffs, which rolls through the country and almost all sectors of the economy, the maternity not the worst. While waiting for better times can there quite yet easy new national children conceived.
as saying by the weekend I have the following offer: Let us hope that the discrepancy between what we see and what we hear is shrinking, so we do not know what hit at the end.
