Human factor: life on the cheap

It's been a hell of a month. To come another flu's epidemic, not regretting neither kids nor adults, and the work in connection with the transfer to another holding has started some fussy rush job. Thoughts stubbornly didn't want to stay within the level range of words and sentences, rewriting again and again.

Hard choosing the correct words when talking about lost human lives. Especially when it happens so unbearably stupid. The human factor, conniving, corrupt connection and just disregard. Constant hope for" maybe " and disinterest in the results of their work. A lot of questions that are unlikely to be answered once. The grief of some, which has grown into problems and losses for others and unexpected profits for the third.

It is always sad to see that only high-profile events, full of tragedies and resulting in the loss of many lives, can temporarily force our fellow citizens to unite in search of the causes and consequences of what is happening around us. A terrible and incredibly cynical story that led to the mourning of the whole country. Tears of the nation and the demand for justice. But who is to blame - the system that allows this happen.

Abstracting from the incident, the question looks quite fair. Why nobody is particularly afraid of the other figures? After all, the tip of the iceberg that hits the media is very small in percentage terms of the year.

According to the latest data of Rosstat, at the end of 2017, the balance of our population is as follows:

The total population of Russia as of January 1, 2018 is 146 880 432 people. The permanent population of the Russian Federation in 2017. increased by 77.4 thousand people, or 0.05% (for the same period of the previous year, there was also an increase in the population of 259.7 thousand people, or 0.18%). Migration growth fully compensated for the numerical losses of the population and exceeded them by 57.6%. In 2017. compared to 2016. in Russia there was a decrease in the number of births (in 84 subjects of the Russian Federation) and the number of deaths (in 81 subjects). In the whole country in 2017. the number of deaths exceeded the number of births by 8% (in 2016. the number of deaths exceeded the number of births by 0.1%), in 17 regions of the Russian Federation this excess was 1.5-1.8 times. Natural population growth in 2017. recorded in 27 subjects of the Russian Federation (in 2016. - in 39 subjects).

Against the background of official data of Rosstat, the statistics on road accidents is not alone:

In 2017, the number of accidents was 169432, the death toll was 19088, the wounded – 215374.

The population of a small regional city disappears in deadly trips, and someone is permanently disabled. I and itself for the lived years already three times was noted there, in two accidents and once having got under wheels of the car in the childhood. A month in a hospital bed and six months of rehabilitation. The point that changed the course of several further lives. I am sure that everyone in the history will have that mark, changing which will see a completely different future.

Statistics of fires for the year 2017 also instills fear and anxiety:

Number of fires - 139475, people died in fires - 8749.

Over the past couple of weeks, only in our city and district already died several people. Burn and apartments and the private sector. Since Monday, introduced a fire regime, and unexpected checks come even from the capital.

Declaring the struggle for the demographics, the government cleverly avoided all the slippery issues. Ensuring safety and security, quality of life - these are the most priority directions that the authorities should care about. However, a huge unwieldy bureaucratic machine is simply not able to manage these processes. Only the rapid flow of people and protests, forcing the government to work intensively, but in fact spending huge amounts of human resources where should be conducted daily systematic work.

I'm pretty sure the inspections are going to go all the way through and very few people will be able to agree to hide the skeletons in the closet again. Orders and fines will have to be fulfilled and paid. How long will it last? It not should always be relaxing to those who are even slightly responsible for human life.

It's bad when the whole system can only react in one direction. Yes, there are many obvious problems, but it is unacceptable to lose so many lives every year. Especially today.
