I work for the city. In the morning, three years ago, a colleague picked up several employees on the way to work, and in the evening planted them in the same place. Every employee knows up to a minute how long the car will be and where it will sit.

A couple of weeks ago the first snow fell and a colleague was five minutes late on the usual schedule (strong snowfall with rain, slurry, traffic jams, etc.).

Arriving at the stop where the chief accountant is waiting (a little such a woman, 180/100 +/-) sees that she is bending and crying. Already in the car, she told the story, then with her words:

at the 7. 23 you are not at the stop, well, nothing happens, I wait. In about two minutes I see your car, but you are in the left lane and for some reason you are driving up to the light. I run to you, and your front doors are closed, and I try to open them a few more times. The window opens and a woman is sprinkling me in the eye with a balloon.

Since childhood, my daughter dreamed of becoming a teacher. She was babysitting children from the age of 12, worked as a tutor, later volunteered in schools.

Finally, her dream came true and after graduating from the teaching program of the University of Toronto, she was taken to school, teaching economics in the 12th grade. A couple of months later, she had an open lesson, where the director, the people from the board (analogue to Gorono), the methodists, to determine whether to leave her or not.

She was very nervous and asked me to help make a lesson plan. What we did.

The theme of the lesson was production, consumption and pricing.

We started with an investment of $15. There were 30 people in the class and she bought 30 chewbacks, 50 cents each.

When she came to class, she immediately stated that she had a gum. Now there will be an auction, and the one who wins will have to pay the real money. and so:

“Who is willing to get the gum for free?”

30 hands rose and the first point was placed on the chart on the board: (30, 0).

After each increase in the price, the number of wishes decreased, the schedule was replenished with new points, until one guy, Jonathan, rather from principle, bought it for 7 backs, solemnly handed them over, took the purchase and the last point (1, 7) decorated the schedule.

This is called the consumer curve (demand). The young teacher explained.

“And now I have good news for everyone except Jonathan. I actually bought gummies for everyone!” - she added, distributed gummies to everyone and immediately regretted it.

“I didn’t leave it to myself! There will be another auction. Who is willing to sell me a gum for $10? “” Again, 30 hands rose, and the point (30, 10) appeared on the chart. The price dropped, the number of wishing decreased until the point (0, 0) finished the picture.

This is called the supply curve (Supply curve). “She explained.

“Tell me, where are they crossing?”

“At the point (10, 0 5)" - the choir said the children, the director and the methodists of the board, watching all this action with full attention.

“It is right! This means that for 50 cents, the number of people who want to buy gum is equal to the number of people who want to sell it. This is how the market price is formed. That’s exactly what it’s worth!”

After the lesson, the sensitive directors and methodists approached her and confessed:

“Honestly, we have only now understood how the price is formed!”

Before the New Year, I was at a visit with my friends. On the table was a red martini, which was recommended to be diluted with cherry juice. tk. Neither we nor friends are enthusiastic about drinking, then about half of Martini remained "for the future".
They met again on New Year’s holidays. The owner began to tell that "Martini, it turns out, is a busted thing - how he does not dilute it, but from one or two small glasses he hits his head only so" and shows the bottle with the juice he diluted.
His wife from the appearance of this "juice" first hangs off her jaw, then she begins to sneeze and with difficulty through laughter pronounces: "This is not a juice, but my mom's tincture of turmeric on alcohol..."

Rosstat: sugar - on 60%, oil - on 25%, flour - on 30%, crops - on 20%, pass - on 15%, gasoline - on 10%...
