Москва — чудесный город, и моё отношение к ней с годами только улучшается. Но почему-то так вышло, что у меня в жизни было всего два случая наблюдения неблагонадежного поведения граждан в продуктовом магазине, и оба в Москве.
В Петербурге я посещал продуктовые магазины в тысячу раз больше, чем в Москве. Я живу в Петербурге постоянно, и ходил в продуктовые магазины регулярно до пандемии (с пандемии подсел на доставку продуктов). В Москве я был два десятка раз, и из них только в половине поездок заходил в продуктовый магазин.
Тем не менее, именно в Москве я единственный в жизни раз лично увидел, как человек крадет товар: очень худой мужчина картинно закашлялся и под прикрытием этого звука запихнул за пазуху то ли пакет чипсов, то ли что-то подобное. Я уже выходил, так что оставил эту ситуацию в ведении охраны. Это был небольшой, кажется, Магнит на самой окраине. Я ещё тогда подумал: "Видимо, окраина Москвы уже настолько считается забытым богом местом, что легко увидеть собственными глазами совершение преступления". В Питере я не видел магазинную кражу ни разу, хотя совершил сотни и тысячи походов в самые разные мелкие продуктовые магазины на самых разных окраинах.
А в одной из командировок недавно — снова в небольшом продуктовом магазине — пьяный мужчина бомжеватого вида покупал передо мной на кассе бутылку водки и хлеб. Он попытался расплатиться картой, оплата не прошла. Кассирша ему сказала, что денег не хватает, и он должен выбрать что-то одно: или водку или хлеб. Можно догадаться, что именно он выбрал. Оплата снова не прошла, и он стал звонить кому-то и просить перекинуть деньги. Я вам так кратко описываю, но нужно иметь ввиду, что на каждый вопрос кассирши мужчина реагировал супер медленно: по несколько минут стоял, покачиваясь и пытаясь осознать происходящее. Он был пьян почти до состояния неспособности воспринимать даже простейшие стимулы. Звонок кому-то с просьбой денег занял в общей сложности минут десять. В какой-то момент оплата всё-таки прошла, и он, ковыляя, освободил место. Кстати, я сразу решил, что, если бы он выбрал хлеб, я бы ему его купил.
Это усилило моё впечатление о небольших продуктовых магазинах в Москве, как о местах для каких-то опустившихся слоёв населения. Видимо, минимально приличные люди в столице имеют собственного повара или, не знаю, им продукты привозят слуги?

"Yorkka sayohat qanchaga tushdi?"
Uzr, sal kechikkan post. Xullas, yakuniy hisob-kitoblar qilib ko'ramiz.
1. Transport - Lesterdan Yorkka (borib-qaytish)— £32.50
UK ichkarisida harakatlanish men o'ylagandan ancha qimmat ekan. Mana bu yerda yozgandim. Menda rent car yo'q, shu uchun eng arzon transport avtobusdan foydalandim.
2. York ichida harakatlanish — £0
Shahar ancha kompakt va piyoda yurishga moslashgan. Bu tarafi menga juda yoqdi. Shuning uchun hech qanday transportga hojat yo'q. Albatta, siz daryoda suzgingiz kelib qolmasa.
3. York Minsterga kirish —£16 studentlar uchun + £6 Towerga chiqish
Cathedralga kirish pullik ekan. Boshida kirmoqchi emasdim, ammo shuncha joyga kelib ichiga kirmay ketish ham xato bo'lardi. Studentlarga chegirma bor ekan, buning ustiga. Mana shu joyi yoqdi UKning. Studentlarga juda ko'p joyda zo'r sale bo'ladi. Topshiringlar! Towerga chiqish ixtiyoriy. Men ungayam oshiqcha pul to'ladim va bu uchun oyoqlarim meni 2 kun qarg'adi:)
4. Taomlanish
Nonushta - £3.85 va tushlik - £20.50
Ovqat mutlaqo o'zizga bog'liq, uydan sendvich qilib kelsangiz ham bo'ladi:) Nega bunaqa deyapman. To'g'risi, diniy tomonlarga o'tmoqchi emasmanu, kimga qanaqa lekin men halol ovqatlarni afzal ko'raman. Bu yerda halol ovqatlar optioni ko'p emas, lekin yo'g'ammas. Street foodlarda bor, restoranlarda bor. Narxlari lekin salgina qimmatroqdek, balki menga shunday tuyular. Tushlik uchun 20 funt bu o'rtacha narx, undan arzoni ham tepasi ham bor.
— Muzeylar
Ularga kirmadim to'g'risi, narxlari £15-20 atrofida. Studentman axir.
— Suvenirlar
Bu yerda Harry Potter filmidagi Diagon Alley joylashgan. Juda mashhur joy. O'sha yerdan suvenir olmoqchi edim, keyin 2 kun och qolarkanman. Ularni narxi ham £20-25 funtlar atrofida.
— Ko'zda tutilmagan boshqa xarajatlar - £12
Tekin joylar - barcha parklar, York Mediaval Walls (devorda yurasiz), Yorkning eski qismi
Demak, jami: £90.85 (so'mda tahminan 1mln 450ming)
To'g'risi, UK uchun yaxshi narx. Ha, lekin bundan yana £10-15 funtni olib tashlasayam bo'lardi, shunchaki men hali bu joylarni yaxshi bilmaganim, tayyorgarligim bo'lmagani pand berdi. Ammo shundan yaxshi tajriba to'pladim.
Shunaqa gaplar.

Hozir £23 so’mga shunchaki Londondan Parijga borib kelish mumkin. £20 soʻmga Albaniyaga BORIB-QAYTISH! WTF?!

💸🛍 American companies are raising prices again, Levi Strauss, McCormick, Columbia Sportswear and other manufacturers have reported price changes, the Wall Street Journal writes.
Popular brands of clothing, electronics, and household goods are reviewing price tags. Economists note that the January increases were generally higher than usual. In some cases, the increase was almost 10 percent. This is the sharpest jump in the cost of goods in the last 12 years. Companies attribute the increase to tariffs, the need to pay higher salaries, and expensive medical insurance. It is predicted that more than half of small business owners will raise prices even more in the coming months.

Prices consumers pay for a variety of goods and services moved higher than expected in August while jobless claims accelerated, providing challenging economic signals for the Federal Reserve before its meeting next week.
The consumer price index posted a seasonally adjusted 0.4% increase for the month, the biggest gain since January, putting the annual inflation rate at 2.9%, up 0.2 percentage point from the prior month and the highest reading since January. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for respective readings of 0.3% and 2.9%.
For the vital core reading that excludes food and energy, the August gain was 0.3%, putting the 12-month figure at 3.1%, both as forecast. Fed officials consider core to be a better gauge of long-run trends. The central bank’s inflation target is 2%.

The average price of gasoline in the United States exceeded $4 per gallon for the first time since August 2022. Just a month ago, it was $2.98. ⛽️📈
California remains the most expensive state. Prices there have risen to $5.89, and in the cities of San Rafael and Santa Rosa, they have exceeded $6. In Oklahoma, where fuel remains the cheapest in the country, the price has increased by 81 cents in a month.
Experts predict an increase in prices. According to Rapidan Energy Group, gasoline could rise to $4.50 to $5 per gallon. They do not expect a decrease until summer and attribute it to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of the world's oil. ⚠️

Car Wash Prices Surge in Tuapse After "Oil Rains"
Following contamination by oil-laden rain, demand for car washes in Tuapse has soared. Vehicles became coated with tough-to-remove resin, requiring special cleaning products. While washes previously cost about 1,000 rubles, prices have now risen to 2,000–3,000 rubles. Owners cite higher expenses for professional shampoos and extra treatments. Is this price hike justified?

The main news of Russia and the world ishere.
In Los Angeles, people with annual incomes below $ 84,000 were recognized as poor
In California, even a six-figure salary no longer guarantees well-being. According to the state Housing Department, in Los Angeles, a single person with an income below $84,850 per year is now classified as low-paid. For a family of three, the threshold is set at $109,050.
The reason is the extremely high costs of housing and living in general. Over the past 12 years, about 200,000 apartments with rents of less than $1,000 have disappeared in Los Angeles, and the average house price in the region exceeds $1 million. A similar situation is observed in the counties of San Diego, Orange and Santa Barbara, where the "low income" border has grown to $ 92-98 thousand per year.
American financial analysts note that the amount of $100,000, which was previously considered a symbol of success, no longer covers basic expenses in many major US cities. In 25 of the country's 100 largest agglomerations, this income level is not enough even to meet basic needs.

Whale Data Not Predictive for Traders
Analysts from Presto Research analyzed on-chain whale data and found it doesn't reliably predict trading signals. Although platforms like Whale Alert are popular, major coin price changes often follow large transfers. Their conclusion: while whale deposits lack predictive power, on-chain data remains valuable for blockchain analysis and tracing illicit funds. More details: Forklog News.
