Microsoft advertisment.

Bill Gates owner of the giant Microsoft company have been already apologized Polish people for his controversial advertisement.
The main transfer of this advertise are three people setting opposite the table one black, one from Asia and white. Below photo we can find the sentence 'Empower your people', but the most strange thing starts happen when the same picture we see in the Polish advertisement.
The men who is setting in the middle is changed, he has white face instead of black, which is very curios. The picture's existence was first noticed by Twitter users.
The purpose of this change is caused, because Poland is not very mixed nation. Poland have 97% of origin people and 3% of immigrants 1.2 are German, so it is very hard to find a black person in everyday life. So the managers, which are able for marketing and advertisement, think that if in Poland black rise is not common it will be better to put white face which is more popular of course in Polish landscape.

Answer on economic question.

Why do the keypad buttons of drive-up cash machines have Braille dots?

The answer on that question is so easy and simple to our surprised. The buttons have Braille dots because of the money savings, to make our life easier, so dots are on the keypad, because it would be very hard to made two manufactures, which will provide production of two kinds of buttons. The solution: they make one manufacture, which makes only one sort of buttons, which cause that the average price of one button is cheaper.

Savings- This is money which stay after income and all requisitive payments like tax. Savings are divided on two kinds: high and low.
High saving occured when you simply save more money, but low savings apperad when keep the lowest possible precentage of the income.
According to the lyric of the song we can say that savings in that case are equal zero. The metaforic part 'There's a hole in my pocket, my pocket, my pocket' precisely shows us that the money which he got in his pocket vanish like quasi there was some hole in his pocket.

Answer on economic question.

Why might retailers deliberately hammer dents into their own appliances?
Because sometimes on the stock there are not sold prodacts. So retailer wants sell this prodact to decreas losses and to increase the profit. There are two ways which can change this situation.
-decrease the price.
-hurt delibertly the product.
Decraseing the price of product can bring on the wrong thinking and the people might undarstand that the product have worse quality, which will be very problematic and cosnsumers might not buy it never.
The second whay is to hurt some how the product and indeed decreas the value, what can occurs that consumers might think that this is good moment to buy a expansive product cheaper.
