Вечный зов - военно-исторический клуб

Our life is full of surprises. We are convinced that every year we live better.I do not argue, technically, our life is very different from the life of Neanderthals. Progress is obvious: we go in cars, watches TV, use the Internet. Just about everything is interconnected and how Einstein's theory of relativity. Moving away from the principles of natural economy and the introduction of money, we got the eternal struggle for customers. I think that these factors were a stimulant of what we have now. Good or bad, an issue that is not the first year of torturing philosophers, theorists, economic and political models of society. We will not go into the theoretical justification, simply collect some facts and nothing more. Conclusions each will own.

Let us consider the consumer basket, and how much should a person in calculating the money to live dragging out a miserable existence, ie simply exist.

 Why do need a food basket? In civilized countries the size of the consumer basket - a threshold security if the person's income fell short of this level, it must be saved, to allocate grants.We do not get. Calculation of the minimum produced by the method previously adopted in 1991 the Supreme Council of the Republic of Latvia. In the consumer basket includes a minimum set of food, nonfood goods and services. Article on Delphi:

 According to the method of calculation, the year the average citizen of Latvia is required:

meat and meat products - 56 kg. -0.153 Kg / day

fish and fish products - 13 kg -0.0356 kg / day

milk and dairy products - 446 kg, -1.222 kg / day

eggs - 217 pieces, -0.62 pcs. / day

bread and flour products - 88 kg, -0.241 kg / day

sugar - 26 kg, -0.071 kg / day

vegetable oil - 5 kg -0.0137 kg / day

Potatoes - 84 kg, -0.230 kg / day

vegetables - 63 kg, -0.173 kg / day

fruits and berries - 32 kg -0.088 kg / day

 Other products-on 1,91 Ls

 In the journal Science and Life »(№ 2 of 1990) published an article entitled" A wonderful planet of Kolyma ", by K. Nikolaev which shows how, in the early 30's and 40-ies were kept prisoners, including political, camps "Dalstroi." The author meticulously brought layout monthly ration of food prisoner-dal-stroevtsa. Here's what was part of it for a month:

 bread gray -1.2 kg.,

flour - 2.0 kg.,

 fish - 6.6 kg

vegetable oil - 3.0 kg

Pasta - 33 kg

sugar - 6.7 kg.,

dried vegetables - 6.6 kg:

So many products were fed prisoners, including convicts and "threes" on law and order then in existence. Let us count the daily value, based on these data, ie, divided all of the amount of food for 30 days.

Obtain:

Bread gray - 40 g

Flour - 66.6 g

Fish -220 g

Vegetable oil - 100 g

Pasta - 1100g

Sugar - 223 g

Dried vegetables - 220 g 

Take the daily rations ZK(GULAG prisoners ) performing work at 100% (5). 

Rye bread - 1200 gr;

Wheat flour 85% - 60 gr;

Krupa different - 130 gr;

Meat - 30 gr;

Fish - 158 gr;

Vegetable oil - 12 gr;

Pasta - 10 gr;

Sugar - 13 gr;

Tea surrogate - 2 gr

Potatoes and vegetables - 600 gr;

Tomato puree - 10 gr;

Pepper - 0.1 gr;

Bay leaf - 0.2 gr;

Salt - 20 gr;

Compare the above mentioned data with the calculated basket Republic of Latvia is understandable that so many people are receiving limited in their rights, from which only required slave labor. But the rate of supply, we determined by the state, even less than the food rations for prisoners of Gulag, which comply with the rules.

 Figured the same would cost in the present food for slaves: we have calculated the most lowest cost standard products and we got 1,94 Ls. day.

 It would be good government and parliament members, who took this set, have rallied to the Government's hours at the kitchen table and practice have shown how we can make a product set of poor peasants something to eat.

Here, indeed, need to have a great invention, breakfast, lunch and dinner separately from the released to the survival of the organism dose not work, probably have to cook chowder without a title for the whole day or even a week. Moreover, very interesting to hold on such Paik at least a week and see what they would like. Nevertheless, even in this scenario, we need 60 Ls. for life

 Calculate what it costs the roof over your head. Common statistics for the last year led by the following figures take into account the austerity. Water: 1 m3 of cold and hot 1m3, with heating out at least 38 Ls, light 4 Ls.  Gas 1.5 Ls. TV, internet available. Get 43,5 Ls. We have a roof over his head, and a pitiful semblance of power, but where to get the money to pay for all this? A one-one should work.

  But that work should get, get, get to work. As with the work now, not many, perhaps we will find it very far away from our residence. “Rigas satiksme” help solve the problem for only 45,90 Ls per month. We have just a reverence for this business. Ability to travel and go to work will cost us a little less than we spend on food, fun figures. Total so far we have already received: 60 + 43.5 + 45.90 = 149.4Ls.

 And our appearance? No employer shall take you at work if you have a slovenly appearance. We spend only 2 m3 of water, and we need to allocate this amount between personal hygiene and hygiene of the apartment where we live (washing, cleaning) .. Water paid, but how much we spend on elementary necessary hygiene items. In its normal form, we need to wash: 7 sets of underwear, at least 7 pairs of socks, at least 3 shirts, a pair of home shirts, trousers 2 pcs., winter, spring, fall sweaters add Yes, respectively, even bed linen. Of course, you can be an asshole and do not spend money on it. Just how long you stand work colleagues? With the cheapest scenario, less than 8 Ls per month at present does not need to go. Add to cart and the money 149.40 +8 = 157.40 Ls.

 In addition, the consumer basket includes one coat, which should be more than seven years, a jacket (four years), costume (5,5 years), pants (two years), dress or jacket (1.25 years), or cardigan jacket (2 years), shirt (once a year), a training suit (three years), cap (three years), scarf (three years), a pair of gloves (two years), tie (ten years).

In the underwear situation a bit better: undershirt - three for two years, the clothes - seven pairs in two years, corsetry - one in two years, bathing suit or briefs - one for five years, socks - two pairs per year, tights - three pairs per year, duvet cover - one to two years sheet - one to two years, pillowcase - one year, towels - twice a year, the cloth - one for ten years, a blanket - one to ten years, the pillow - one for 12 years, clothes for infants - once in 14 years.

 Boots must be changed every three years, the shoes - every two years, summer shoes - every two years, and rubber boots - once every four years, slippers - once a year, shoes for children - time in 10 years, sports rubber shoes - once every three years, winter sports shoes - every seven years, rain - every seven years, the bag - once every five years, a suitcase - every decade.

Newspapers and magazines must be purchased every day, hours - once in six years, notebooks - to 11 pieces a year, pens, pencils - once a season, the book - two per year, radios - every six years, skating or skiing - once every ten years.

Appliances must be stored for years: a refrigerator can afford once in 20 years, iron - once in 16 years, the chandelier - once in 14 years, the light - three a year.

In addition, a case supposed to buy time in 20 years, a sofa-bed - once in 14 years, chair, stool - every five years.

At a rate of cancellation of major movable assets in the accounting -5 years. I guess the rule for the people, and the above for the citizens and not citizens of Latvia.

 Hairdresser recommended to visit once a season, dry cleaning - twice per year, shoe repair - five times in two years.

I will not bore meticulous calculations and evidence that may be so long to wear these things. Just less than 54 Ls. did not go out and buy it in the light not branded goods and not in the store, and on the market. To be added to the money:

60 + 43.5 +  45.90 + 8  + 54  = 211.40 Ls.

What we got in the end?  Rounding the shortage will not go less than 210 Ls.

 What do we have for this money? We began to communicate more, though only in the streets and in warm weather because, 2 The situation has already read the book 74 times, and the consumption basket does not include payment for TV, Internet, phone and other things Communication does not provide trips to visit, where we do not expect because they also live the same way. In the old darned, but clean although not ironed clothes (sorry iron ordered to live long after the warranty period, and the new I buy will expire  after 16 years), we either washed or not go to the toilet (water saving) with hair like a hippie, with a feeling of immense joy for services rendered (Rigas satiksme) in the starvation state move to work. We are proud that we have a place to live, but sleeping for 13 years of a broken couch is not a matter of delight. We are just at the peak of delight from the fact that our non-taxable minimum of 35 HP, but for life at the level of GULAG prisoners, we need to 210 Ls.. The following article is about, what are the 210 Ls. .
