10 sentences with Sergey Prodius. Salaries and pensions
This time Arseniy Yatsenyuk(1) has touched a really painful issue - salaries and pensions(2). Apart from the fact, that they are small, sometimes they are paid not in time and they are going to be raised only by several hundred of UAHs (3). What do you think, if to increase small salaries of ordinary state workers by 200-300 UAHs, will they become well-off and happy!? Are they will definitely be able to buy a flat in Kiev, a sport car for themselves, will be able to shop in luxurious boutiques and eat black caviar with vodka?
But this is not all good news from the Government. From now on, pensioners will receive extra 100-300 UAHs to their pensions, but will they have an opportunity to buy expensive medicine? Will have a new happy, wealthy, real European life? And we will have all this “happiness” only thanks to several hundred of UAHs. Now the living wage will reach approximately 1300 UAHs.
That's it, I have no time for writing: I have to run to pack suitcases for going to Cyprus, because now I'm a wealthy man.
