Rise of the Wasteland

Sandy arrived at the newspaper with a cry and walking. Many people in the newspaper were also affected by the recent social turmoil, and their emotions were depressed. Because they understand that the current situation is caused by their newspaper, but the result is not what they want to see.

The readers of The Christian Science Monitor are mostly elite, a newspaper that is distributed to high-ranking and high society nationwide. There are not many people in the newspaper office, but they can always insist on their own opinions. Naturally, we must analyze and report on the current social turmoil.

"Sandy." The editor called Sandy to the past. "Many people in the current turmoil have proposed the idea of ​​completely resisting rabbits, and they need to be sanctioned from many aspects, including political, military, and economic. You go to interview some authoritative people I need in-depth reporting and insights in this area. "

Sandy took over the task. He collected materials from government officials and scholars by phone, email, and personal visits. The conclusion was that ‘whole sanctions or whatever, that ’s all a means of playing against weak countries. For a big country like rabbits, economic means is the only way. ’

As for the economic boycott, a few years ago, American reporters wrote about it—without using rabbit-made products for one year, it was concluded that everything from clothing to food and transportation was very difficult. If you don't buy rabbit products, then the cost of life will rise.

And is America's dependence on rabbit goods deepening today?

The results of the preliminary investigation greatly delighted Sandy ... At present, in the US market, ‘Made in Rabbits’ has seen a significant ebb among all kinds of goods for clothing, food, and shelter. For example, in terms of clothing, Made in Vietnam has begun to occupy a large market.

Enterprises in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa have grown a lot in the past ten years, and rabbits have many rivals in low-end products. The United States can still buy a lot of American goods in terms of food and clothing.

The United States has developed agriculture, and basically fresh food and grain are produced domestically. The food processing industry is also locally made. Even many Chinese supermarkets known for their low prices, and Vietnamese supermarkets are also selling American products. Daily necessities and furniture are made in the USA.

Among the world's top 500 companies, American companies also have a huge advantage. Apple, HP, IBM, Cisco, GM, Ford, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Boeing, Lockheed, DuPont, 3M, Johnson & Johnson. These super enterprises are still very powerful and make huge profits.

Sandy wrote in his article: "Many economists and business leaders believe that the manufacturing industry in Greater America is still on the rise. It is not a rebound after the previous economic crisis, but a long-term structural lead.

In the current era of globalization, it is difficult for a country's goods to dominate the US market. The division of labor and transfer of global industries gives us more choices. So without rabbits, we can replace them with goods from other countries. "

After writing this report, Sandy felt happy. He felt that he had broken a certain curse, and a long-held opinion was no longer correct. Times are different. Without rabbits, the lives of the American people will not be worse.

After the manuscript is written, Sandy plans to send some finishing touches to the editor. Before that, he decided to go out for a big meal and relax the tension these days. To this end, he even hooked up with a female editor of the newspaper for dinner, and at the table he inevitably mentioned the work he had just completed.

"Oh ... you mean we don't need to panic about that country on the other side of the earth?" The female editor asked with a smile on Sandy's point of view.

"Of course." Sandy teased some of his own survey data and interviews. "The rabbit has always claimed to be a developing country. I think we need to be vigilant against them, but we don't need to panic. We are still the most on this planet Great country. "

"Really?" The female editor grunted, and she rolled up a bacon on her plate with a fork in her hand and asked, "Do you know Smith Field Food Company in the United States?"

"What?" Sandy suddenly lost his temper. As a recent intern reporter, he really didn't know much about food companies.

Seeing Sandy stupid, the female editor across has the joy and interest in ‘being a teacher’. She continued: "Smith Field Foods has four pig farms, more than 800,000 breeding pigs, and forty pork processing plants, with an annual slaughter of more than 15 million heads."

"Oh ... it's amazing." Sandy could only marvel, "This must be our American company, right? I knew we were the best."

"Smith Field Food Company is really great. It is the world's largest pork producer and its products are sold all over the world. But just a few years ago, it was acquired by a rabbit company." The female editor shrugged slightly, expressing helplessness.

"Ah ... this sounds terrible." Sandy also stirred the bacon in his plate, just now that this thing was good, but now it tastes a bit chewy.

Americans also have a sense of honor. In fact, to consolidate a large country always requires strong cohesion and identification, otherwise it will be a piece of sand. When the flag of the United States flew around the world, Americans were proud and humorous, they could accept criticism from outside, and they were willing to help others.

And now ..., sorry, the glory of the Cold War victory lasted only a decade, and everything changed. Sensitive, suspicious, restless, these new qualities appear in Americans. The United States is still strong, but it is increasingly overwhelmed by many challenges.

Many people feel that only rabbits in this world do not accept American values. Don't be funny, there are more countries that don't deal with Americans. For example, at that time, ‘Opec ~ www.readwn.com ~ was n’t it the big oil bulldogs in the Middle East who put the old beauty together? So don't think that the whole world listens to old beauty.

At the table, the female editor continued to educate: "In the clothing industry, Made in Vietnam is indeed grabbing the rabbit market. But the world's most powerful textile industry is still rabbits.

And the rabbit is not the simple 'world factory' in the past, in fact it has become the 'world market'. Its exports and imports have an increasing impact on the world, and even the United States cannot leave the huge demand of that 1.4 billion people.

Rabbits not only export physical goods to the outside world, they are increasingly investing in finance. For example, would you like to ask me to go to the movies, right? The AMC cinema line we are going to, and the movies made by Legendary Pictures, are no longer made in the United States. "

Sandy was shocked. "They were also acquired by Rabbit's Enterprise?"

"This is news from many years ago," said the female editor.

"Fuck!" Sandy couldn't help cursing. "A developing country actually came to buy our big company. What kind of developing country is this?"

The female editor laughed: "Do you think rabbits will only engage in gadgets such as clothing, food, toys, etc.? People have not focused on the development of such a LOW industry. Now even British people are looking for rabbits to repair nuclear power plants. There are fewer and fewer things they can't do.

The United States was strong in the past because it had the largest unified market in the world. If other countries want to make money, they must sell their goods to the United States, so American standards naturally pass the world.

But now a larger market is emerging in the East. I believe that in another ten years, we will ask for rabbits. America's biggest mistake is probably to think that rabbits are kind and bully. Just like you think now. "

What a picture Tucson broke!
