When the tepid sunshine shines on people, they can still feel its former power. Even if it is gone now, the traces of sunshine left in human genes are still so profound and fresh.

It was very warm in the sunroom, and the blooming flowers and plants made it hard to imagine that the temperature outside was still freezing at this time.

The little maid brought afternoon tea and pastries to the two of them and then left. Only Lynch and Ms. Tracey were left in the sun room.

“When it comes to enjoyment, capitalists know how to enjoy it best.”

Holding the freshly brewed coffee and eating not-so-sweet snacks, the sun is not very warm, but the heating is turned on to full sunshine, and time seems to slow down a little at this moment.

The unique fragrance of coffee enters the mouth and begins to spread, diluting the sweetness left in the mouth from the snacks. The light bitterness is slightly sour, and the whole person seems to be washed by some kind of power at this moment. .

Ms. Tracy sincerely praised and envied such a life.

Her life has not been poor, it can even be said to be rich.

My father is an old mayor who has been working for many years. His interests are highly tied to the local capitalists. He is the kind of mayor who has friends in the state government and Congress.

Her uncle is the Patriarch, the largest religious leader in the region. Those fanatical believers, not to mention giving him money, are even willing to dig out their hearts and offer them to God's agent, the old Patriarch.

She was wealthy, well-educated, and loved by everyone in her family, otherwise she wouldn't be the epitome of an "independent woman."

It even promoted the development of the affirmative action movement!

But such an outstanding woman, at this moment, envies the life of a capitalist.

After all, she is not a real capitalist, and some things cannot be obtained by spending money.

In other words, it’s not something you can get if you suddenly want to spend money.

Since the characteristics of the Ice Age have become more and more obvious, a large number of plants on this planet are actually dying rapidly.

The reason why humans are not so sensitive to what happens in nature is that governments around the world are unwilling to report these news, which will cause panic in society.

On the other hand, the main producer of oxygen that animals breathe is seaweed.

Coupled with the death of tropical plants and the large-scale reproduction of temperate and cold zone plants, it will not make people feel that there are any big changes.

Maybe the changes in Nagaril are bigger, but who cares about those people there?

These plants in Lynch’s sunroom have been there since more than ten years ago.

The money spent every year to maintain the plants in these sunrooms is also a huge expense.

Now Ms. Tracy is very rich, but she can't buy these plants with any money, and no one will sell them to her.

Many of these extinct plants are no longer worth the price of money.

Those dancing butterflies and the occasional bees scurrying out of the corner have no other thoughts except that people lament the greatness of money.

Lynch accepted Ms. Tracey's comments with a smile.

At least in the Federation, being "rich" is not a fault, but will be respected and even worshiped by people!

"I hope that when the children grow up, their understanding of these things is not limited to some books before entering the shelter, but they can see it with their own eyes, smell it, and even touch it!"

"This will be a precious moment, and only in this way can they feel the magic and shock of nature, as well as the insignificance of human beings."

Ms. Tracy couldn't help but laugh, "You always make sense when you talk. Sometimes I think you should be a teacher."

"You are definitely far better at educating people than being a capitalist, at least... you know, they are two paths."

Lynch doesn’t agree with this point. “As long as you look at and deal with problems at a high enough level, there will be no difference between teachers, capitalists, policemen, and homeless people.”

Ms. Tracey did not continue the discussion on this issue, and Lynch's statement, which was like a coffin, actually ended the topic.

She put the coffee cup back on the tray. "This announcement of my candidacy is my last chance in this life."

"Of course, I don't mean to compete with you, I just... want to stand here and see the scenery that I couldn't see before."

"I sometimes reflect on what I did over the years and my stupidity."

"When I don't jump out of a valley, I never think that I am at the lowest point in my life, nor do I realize that I am taking the wrong path."

“But by the time I understand this, in most cases it’s too late for me to change anything.”

"His death made me very painful, and it also made me realize that I might have done something wrong, but you know, when you have paid too much for a wrong thing, even if you clearly realize it, you don't The approach changes.”

Lynch agrees with this statement, "Sunk costs, if you can't admit your failures and losses, you have to keep investing more costs with no return."

"That's it!" Ms. Tracy sighed, as if all the unsatisfactory results in the second half of her life were contained in this sigh.

She looked up at Lynch and breathed a sigh of relief, "I wanted to go up high and see the scenery. With the regret and persistence of my father and uncle, I did a stupid thing. Their preference made me feel ashamed."

"The only thing I can do now is live up to their support for me."

"I couldn't find the way down the mountain. The woods were too dense and blocked all sight. I had only one way to choose, and that was to continue climbing up."

Lin Qi touched the golden thorn badge hanging on his chest, "Even if there are thorns on the road ahead?"

Ms. Tracy also noticed the unique little pendant on his chest, "Yes, even if I'm covered in bruises!"

Ms. Tracy has never been married in her life, and she has never heard of anyone she is in a relationship with, or even similar scandals.

She is a proud woman. She has done things that many women cannot do. It can even be said that she is the representative of contemporary pioneer women, and she is the most representative one, no one!

Regardless of whether everything she did really wanted to do something for women around the world, or she just said that it was her selfish desire, at least she changed the living and working environment of most women.

When a person does a hypocritical thing and can persist in it for a lifetime, don't worry about whether it is hypocritical or not.

Lynch thought for a while and said regretfully, "Honestly, you can't win."

"You know a lot of times people's choices are not that they want to, but that they don't have any more options."

"And there are too many factors outside the election this election. To exaggerate a little, you can say that I am the final judge."

"Even so, do you still want to try?"

Ms. Tracy's pupils dilated slightly, and her eyes lost focus for a moment, but soon became bright again, "Why not?"

"This is a game. Even if I don't have an advantage, we are fighting on the same field. Even if we lose in the end, at least we have been on par for a moment..."

Lynch pursed his lips and thought for a while. Ms. Tracy did not disturb him, but looked in wonder at the plants that had long since disappeared from people's lives, but were now blooming here.

After about five or six minutes, Lin Qi came back from his thoughts. He picked up the coffee and took a sip, "I can guarantee that your competition is fair and fair."

Ms. Tracy had a smile on her face, "That's enough!"

"Even if I fail in the end, at least I have tried my best. When I go to heaven or hell, I can also say to him that I at least lived up to all his efforts and dedication."

Lynch nodded twice. Ms. Tracy's life cannot be said to be magnificent, but at least it is not boring.

This topic ends here, and there is no need to continue talking about it in depth, and there is nothing to talk about in the depth of the topic.

Lynch changed the subject and talked about the People's Party's refuge.

"Has the construction over there been basically completed?"

The Popular Party shelters could accommodate about 700,000 to 800,000 people. This was the optimal number of people to be accommodated. At that time, people believed that there were probably not enough shelters.

Therefore, most shelters are designed to accommodate more people, and many family shelters can accommodate dozens of people.

But now that people's anxiety about not having enough shelters has eased, people have discovered that it's not that there aren't enough shelters, there are too many!

Many shelters may not even recruit half of their construction quota!

Nowadays, the shelters of major financial groups are offering various preferential conditions, hoping that more people will join their shelters.

Talking about this, Ms. Tracy had a more confident smile on her face.

“We have recruited close to 80 percent of our residents, and new residents are applying every day.”

"Women make up a large part of them, which attracts more men."

"You know, building a social environment where men and women are absolutely equal is the ultimate goal of many people. Now that the opportunity has come, they will definitely join in and witness the birth of this miracle for themselves."

This may be why shelters with a bit of a religious nature are more likely to succeed. It is easier for a group of people with common beliefs to stay together.

They may not have to wait until the last year or two before their shelters are filled.

There are no shelters in the entire federation that can be filled with people, including official shelters.

However, if nothing unexpected happens, the number of residents in official shelters will increase significantly.

Because many social benefits in the past were directly tied to companies, in the federal territory, Global Communications did not build shelters privately. It was completely tied to official shelters.

In other words, if you want to enjoy these new corporate benefits, you must work for Global Communications.

And only in official shelters can you have such an opportunity!
