Good to be an authority! Every morning get out of a warm apartment, get into the car with climate control, of course, heated seats and not being late go in the office, where there is even a stable, carefully and precisely defined degree of comfortable room temperature.

Why does the city administration, department of internal affairs, tax inspections, various departments and other government agencies not have clogged pipes? Why batteries are beginning to exude smooth blissful heat while there is cold on the streets and continue to do that until spring?

We never see on television officials dressed in ten different clothes, with dart noses and telling reporters that the walls in the offices are covered with frost and mildew, and that they sit at a table in mittens and gloves. But ordinary citizens, as usual. And the situation is repeated with the effect of deja vu from year to year. Change is only visible in the geography of accidentally freezing, their age and social characteristics.

Sometimes you can see the whole neighborhood spreading fires on the streets, or a nursing home with all people huddle under blankets, or students with pair of the mouth is a class... Now we have babies. In Schuchinsky town baby house personal tries to warm up the baby with rubber heaters. Obviously abandoned by their own parents or orphaned, these tiny citizens of our country start their first winter in the most powerful hard times. Batteries in their first home are cold as ice.

- I do not go to this childhouse, - Deputy Mayor of Burabaysky area of Akmola region Marpuga Nurpanova said to TV journalists.

And indeed - why?
