It's not about the legality/illegality of influencing prices, it's about insider trading. anyone can influence prices (if they have the money), but insider trading is a crime.

The issue is lawful. The law is the only imperfect mechanism that defines the line in those processes in which there is no line.
 
 
Mischek: From the bash

Plants, by natural selection, have accumulated juices that cause burning in the mouth, tears from the eyes, pungent smells, anything to make animals realise that they should not be eaten, and then man comes along, calls them condiments and spices and actively eats them in defiance of thousands of years of work by nature.

It is strange that such platitudes are written on a bash.

Now, birds don't mind all that spiciness (http://про-птиц.рф/info/pticy-ne-chuvstvuyut-perec , as the link doesn't insert):

The active ingredient in red pepper, which is responsible for its pungent taste, is the alkaloid capsaicin. Biologists believe that the high content of this substance is the result of natural selection to encourage birds rather than mammals to eat the plant. The fact is that birds are completely unresponsive to the pungency of capsaicin, and red pepper kernels pass through their digestive tract unscathed and can sprout in a new location.

But pepper is also very useful to humans. It doesn't have to be extremely hot, just a jalapeño (it's very tasty, by the way). It improves sleep and is good for preventing some diseases.

Hi ... Lyosha


yes indicative, east and west are two completely different worlds and it is strongly felt in these drawings or more precisely in the feeling of a person who has lived in the east and in the west

the west is colder - they don't give a shit about the problem - they walk on eggshells - they live in a shell - they're more self-absorbed -

the boss here is only half a head taller...

death is a tragedy

punctuality - 1 minute late and you're just a fucking enemy

The Germans, for example, walk in formation - you can especially see how they behave at the buffet, just in line behind each other.

To do or not to do it, they're in a pattern.

but the cafe restaurant is quiet and cosy - I like that style.

the west - you're the centre of the world - it's selfish - and an inadequate sense of the world

the weather's bad, the mood's bad, just life's in decline.


the east is closer to the world to the man, it's warmer, there's more of a problem to get around - it's more open to each other

the boss is a god

death is a normal, ordinary occurrence.

if you're an hour late - life goes on - no one will hang you by your genitals if you're just a little late.

at the buffet, I go straight to the place I want to go, I don't have to wait in line (the oriental approach), and the drawing is just a confirmation.

the cafe restaurant is noisy - I like the western style here.

the east, you realize you're a little part of the world - in fact, you are.

it's raining, it's a beautiful state of the world too


the philosophy is different.

Good morning

♪ the two worlds are totally different ♪

You're thinking in patterns because you're not judging from your own experience - I don't know about the Chinese, but I've worked with the Japanese.

Try working with the Japanese, especially in their company and preferably in a corporation (they have little medium-sized business) - the Germans are quietly and nervously smoking on the sidelines

Try telling them about being late because of traffic jams or taking a sick day because you don't feel well or about taking a three-week holiday.
