Russia has achieved some stability over the past several years - the economy is growing, jobs are appearing, investors are coming (excluding the results of the recent global recession, which affected pretty much every country). People hope that this stability will stay - or at least not get worse. Since a lot of Russians are superstitious people, believing that any change into the fabric of the world will upset the balance, they try to keep everything the same (Why do you think Ladas in the 21st century still look like something that belongs in a museum?). This of course, includes burying the dead leader - Vladimir Lenin. Walter's theory is that Lenin will become the symbol of Russia's stability - as long as his body stays in the mausoleum, stability will remain in Russia.

We live in a matrix
Wednesday, 24 March 2010 08:44
Walter claims that we live in a matrix, controlled by aliens or some other kind of more intelligent life. Most of our actions (down to what we wear and how often we brush our teeth) have been pre-programmed and we are living a scripted life. As such, it is hard to change it's course. Even though we believe that we are free to do what we want, its only an illusion. Dramatic changes in our lives will lead to suffering and overall anxiety of the individual or individuals around (you are disrupting their course as well). That's why bad guys always stay bad guys, alcoholics always stay alcoholics (even though some of them are trying hard to quit) and so on.
Put "free" and "limit one per customer" on any piece of junk people will come to you and form a lineup. Has been tested in Canadian and US markets.
This can be anything - so be creative. If you are selling shoes - put "free set of shoelaces", if you are selling coffee, put "free donut hole", selling burgers - "free extra layer of onions for fresher breath" and so on. The sky is the limit.
Comedies became popular lately. This is because of the general atmosphere around - when times are bad, comedies are popular, when times are good people watch dramas.
(Regarding sneezing): If you keep it quiet it is pointless since the bad stuff stays in your nose. You have to get it out with full force in order to stay healthy.
