Lukashenka’s Cow Thwarts IT-Country’s Future

The main quotation of the dictator, after which no other words make sense.

When Lukashenka spoke at the Forum of Regions about his desire to turn Belarus into an IT-country, something stirred inside. Not that there were strong hopes for the implementation of his ideas, but it was already pleasant to think that the president knows such a word and even sees prospects in this sphere, Solidarity writes.

Experts, inspired by the statements of Lukashenka, have already begun to analyze how this can be done and where else the head of the state could direct their endless energy.

But the IT-dreams of the Belarusians did not last long. Soon the Russian media presented a new portion of the statements of the Belarusian ruler, after which all our prospects in the field of innovative technologies became clearly visible.

"You cannot grow a cow in a year: it's not a bird or a pig," — Lukashenka said.

Programmers choked on champagne ...

However, Lukashenka became unstoppable. It was in the air that this topic worried him much more than some of the HTP residents and mobile applications.

— Nobody sells good cattle abroad, — he was brutally honest and shared his pain: — They brought so much rubbish into the country that they could not get rid of it later. Including sick cattle. Therefore, we need to handle this ourselves.

Programmers closed the bottle and silently retrieved to write programs that are in demand around the world, but not so much in the country of happy cows. It’s useless to compete with the cattle, of which the president takes personal care.

Alas, cows in this country are more often thought of than innovative development. Despite the numerous calls of economists.

—The government’s goal should be to ensure the development of the economy. Not to count cows, or how much milk or taxes they collected, but to think and create conditions for future development, " — the honorary chairman of the Business Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers named after Professor Kuniavski Heorhi Badei noted in an interview with Solidarity.

But who hears these calls? The leadership of this country has its own priorities and vision of prospects.

And as long as the theme of cattle is heard from our leaders at forums and meetings, "the country of happy cows" will never become an IT-country.
