    This is stupid reasoning! If a candidate is popular, you know he will win. What is this fool talking about?

      But housing, schooling, healthcare are free and everything else is 90% cheaper than in the west. Average american doesn't have 1000 dollars to spare in an emergency, living paycheck to paycheck. Which is better, having 45.000 a year and spending it all to survive, or having 4500 a year and doing the same? Amount of zeros on your salary is less important than the quality of life you can afford.

      @@soccerstickersfc I should have made that more clear: most people own apartments on which they pay no property taxes, and rents are commensurate with income. And for example, I currently live in a western european country and the situation is very similar to that in Belarus. Renting an old 1-bedroom apartment costs more than the minimum wage but percentage of people who own their apartments is surely (I'm guessing based on information about other post-socialist countries) lower here than in Belarus. Can you tell me if this is correct, please?

      @@bojanperko most people would rent - apartment ownership is mostly from families being given their Soviet residence and then that being passed onto children. So generations might live in an apartment. For a regular person, owning an apartment is a very very difficult. Of course there are plenty of people who can own apartments - usually government workers get favourable loans, but for most people in Minsk, this is a dream.
