Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 10 Flea Market

In early June in the Golden State, the temperature is already midsummer compared to many northern places in the northern hemisphere.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was already blazing hot. When he walked out of a store in Chinatown, Los Angeles, the contrast between the indoor air-conditioning and the outside environment immediately caused a thin layer of sweat to break out on the back of his neck.

This was caused not only by the weather, but also by the heavy bleeding in my wallet.

Of course, he was not as hot and sweaty as others, it was because of his improved physical fitness and the application of a little extraordinary strength.

Xie Jiahao, who peacefully practiced at home for two days, and after initially adapting to the changes brought about by Superman's physique, prepared to go out during the day to purchase a batch of missing materials and store them at home.

As for the evening, he didn't plan to go out until the storm subsided.

“It’s so expensive!”

He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his handkerchief. Xie Zihao, who rarely used swear words, couldn't help but secretly cursed these profiteers who were considered his own compatriots. You know, he brought a thousand pounds with him today.

I had a huge sum of money, but just after buying a batch of spices and medicinal materials in several stores, my cash lost more than half.

Feeling sorry for his shriveled wallet, he then walked towards the street not far away, carrying a wooden box on his back and carrying large and small bags containing bottles and cans.

There were a lot of people there, and there were rows of stalls in the spacious small square. Many people were sweating and choosing suitable products among them, regardless of the heat.

Apparently this is a flea market.

In the White Eagle Federation, such flea markets selling second-hand goods are very common. Some are held voluntarily by residents at their doorsteps, and there are also official events organized by the government, communities or certain associations.

Don't just think that Panjia Market is only in Peiping. In fact, there are countless second-hand goods markets abroad, and some of the larger ones are bigger than Panjia Market.

"There are quite a few people!"

Xie Zihao, who has been here several times, knows that most of these people are now foreign tourists. If they are locals, they will definitely choose to go out for a stroll after the cool dusk when the sun goes down.

However, if he came at that time, he would be physically comfortable, but he would have to go back at night. Because he has not bought a car because of school, he did not come by car. After dark, he would not take the subway, bus or take a taxi home.

So safe.

Xie Zihao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that in his previous life, before the rise of the Internet age, in the third world outside the Federation, people always imagined that in powerful imperialist countries, not everyone dressed brightly, drove luxury cars, and drank alcohol.

Drinking champagne and red wine, eating steak and lobster, living an enviable and wealthy life?

In fact, not to mention the United States in the past life, in this world, according to statistics from a certain federal agency, the number of unemployed people in the federal territory is as high as 20 million, which is infinitely close to one-tenth of the total population.

And Xie Zihao himself is an unemployed young man who is waiting at home for a job.

With the memory of his original body, he knew that this statistic was relatively accurate.

Because even if we exclude the defeated generation who rely on family support and do not want to go out to work, as well as those who have temporarily lost their jobs and have not found new jobs, there are still more than 15 million unemployed people left, and 90% of them

The above are the African-American people who are idle and have nothing to do but wait for government relief.

The number of people who have actually lost their lives and become homeless due to various reasons is actually only a few hundred thousand.

"No wonder I have to be so popular!"

Xie Zihao sighed in his heart, this series of figures is shocking in the eyes of relevant scholars, and it is also shocking to the government, especially the more than 15 million African-American people who are not engaged in production, which has led to frequent crimes in various regions all year round, which has a great impact on the general government.

For a federation with a population of only over 240 million, it is definitely a huge factor of instability and a huge financial burden.

"I would like to ask if these idle workers can be turned into hard-working workers, how much tax revenue will be brought to the federal government? How much economic growth will be promoted?"

This phenomenon was unimaginable in Xie Zihao's previous life, because even if there were rice bugs in his time, they were in the minority. Young people could only lie flat on their backs at most. When they should go to work, eat and consume, at most they would not.

Buy a house, don't invest, don't get married, and won't become a drag on the country like the African-American population.

The main reason is that the hard-working Chinese people have not had this habit developed on the African savannah since ancient times. The traditional culture headed by Confucianism and Taoism will certainly have some dross, but it advocates the law of heaven to reward hard work, self-reliance, and opposes eating without working.

Painting cakes to satisfy hunger has always been a moral concept advocated by people.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to do it. In the 21st century, it seems that every boss has learned how to draw a cake.

"It's a pity not to mention the federal scholars. Even the government can't do anything about these African-Americans!"

These more than 10 million African Americans who have nothing to do all day long are a big trouble for the White Eagle Federation. If these unstable factors are not dealt with, it will be a huge financial burden for the government every year; dealing with it will also cost a lot of money.

The big price may not necessarily lead to success.

Based on the lessons learned from the major incident in Los Angeles in 1992, in order to avoid triggering riots, the government could only adopt stability maintenance policies and made certain compromises in some aspects. The result of the compromise was that those guys became more and more aggressive and made so-called

The banner of equal rights is used wantonly to take advantage, and what they are best at is moral kidnapping and racial discrimination.

Xie Zihao also understood the choices of those politicians. He was one of the people who witnessed the Los Angeles riots that shocked the world!

I was only a teenager at that time, and Xie’s store also became a victim of zero-dollar shopping. Many people around me were injured or even died because of the riots, so I have always hated Black Lives Matter.

and hostile looks.

Even strictly speaking, if it hadn't been for the heavy losses caused by the robbery by Black Lives Matter, the original parents would not have given up their restaurant business, rented out the store, and then engaged in the transportation business. As a result, they encountered the epidemic that is prevalent in the federation.

Truck robbers. Although the couple did not resist in order to survive, they were tortured and killed by the robbers because they were Asian.

How could the original Xie Zihao not hate those puppets?

Even Xie Zihao's thoughts changed after traveling through time.

In addition to the above troublesome things, after getting to know them personally, Xie Zihao also understood that imperialist capitalist countries like the White Eagle Federation are not as beautiful as some people in the country imagined in their previous lives. The air is sweet, and everyone has new ideas.

Clothes and new shoes to wear.

In fact, according to statistics from a boring organization, people in the White Eagle Federation use more than ten second-hand items every year, accounting for more than 80% of the total population, and the number of people who buy cheap second-hand goods all year round reaches 60% of the total population.

above.

The statistics here only include second-hand clothing, home furnishings, daily necessities, electrical appliances and other categories. Second-hand cars, second-hand jewelry and other valuable items are not included. If all were to be calculated, it is estimated that the proportion of people using second-hand items in the federal government would be even larger.

The amplitude increased.

Although Xie Zihao himself did not wear any second-hand clothes after traveling through time, and although his parents did not pamper him too much when he was a child, he still had everything he needed in life, and his family background was pretty good, so there was no need to go out of his way to

Buy second hand clothes.

After his parents passed away three years ago, he rarely bought new clothes except for school uniforms, and his previous clothes were enough.

But around the living environment, many people choose to buy second-hand goods.

Without him, it's cheap.

The pace of this book will be slower, occasionally incorporating some life and farming plots. I hope you will like it!
