Why doesn't the government fight against speculators in the stock market, since this is essentially fraud and selling air?

A speculator does not break the law and pays taxes

If you remove the stock market mechanisms, you'll have to think about giving something in return. And officials don't like to work. Moreover, taxes come from the stock market.

The justification of the stock exchange is a very good mechanism in terms of fairness. Money flows there from the foolish to the smart, from the greedy to the moderate, from the cowardly to the resilient, from the nervous to the patient.

How to beat the consumer society?

Need to improve the quality of education

The fact is that after reading books, an educated person becomes the worst buyer: he does not become a slave to advertising, he buys less new smartphones and cars, starting to prefer Mozart and Shakespeare to them.

To make people easier to manage, they need to wean a lot of thinking. The thinking of the average citizen should remain at the level of thinking of a teenager.

Will Belarus enter the war in Ukraine?

No, this is just propaganda, the same as the use of nuclear weapons, and statements like we haven't even started a war yet.

Belarus has already faced sanctions for helping Russia, and if it had entered the war directly, the sanctions would almost certainly have intensified. The Belarusian army does not have enough power for large-scale offensive operations. An attack would cause heavy losses with limited results, the risk of attacks on the territory of Belarus and being drawn into a long war without control over the outcome. There have already been protests in the country against participation in the war. Direct participation could increase the discontent of the population and increase pressure on the government, as well as create a risk of political instability.

In the long run: participation in the war would almost certainly worsen the situation of Belarus. For the state and the economy: rather disadvantages (sanctions, risks, dependence). For the government: short-term advantages (Moscow's support).

What will be the next president of Russia after Putin?

2023-09-28 09:49:18

Politically weak

All talk about a successor is stopped, no one wants to even think about it. Preparations for the succession are not underway, which means that the new president will be chosen spontaneously and will protect the personal interests of the ruling elite, and not the whole country. The president from alternative parties will not be allowed to win.

Nothing will change in the country with the change of the president. The country will continue to sell energy resources abroad. The new president will make decisions based on personal gain, hiding behind the interests of the country.

How did the war change Putin's regime? What price will Russia pay after the change of power? And is there any hope at all that Putin is not forever?
