Glad I scrolled down comments first. I too took note of excessive use of the word "need."  Need vs want is something these days have a hard time telling apart. You want butter, you certainly don't need butter. You don't need to see a movie, you want to see a movie.  You need air to breathe, you need warmth in the winter to stave off hypothermia, your body needs basic nutrients. Thinking that butter is a need and not a want is probably what made this oblast to begin with. Lol
