Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

As a result, the business of cosmetic and plastic surgery hospitals is generally bleak. Even after the official ban has been lifted, there are still a large number of closures.

But today's artificial intelligence technology can't invent such a sci-fi thing as a "automatic medical cabin".As a result, except for psychologists, it is difficult for other doctors to rely on the Internet to see patients remotely... So can the medical industry not be depressed?

What's more terrible is that today's hospitals are, after all, gathering places for the COVID-19 virus. While the income of hospitals has plummeted, the personal risks of medical workers are increasing day by day. Risking work for a high salary.But those nurses with meager salaries and low benefits, who have more contact with patients and take higher risks than doctors, can't bear it.

Today, 75% of nurses in the United States have been infected with the COVID-19 virus, and 50% of nurses have left sequelae. , There is a cousin who is a nurse, because she was frightened by the hospital with dead bodies everywhere, so she resigned and went to the fresh supermarket to sell pork, brandishing a butcher's knife to become a "pig chopping maid".

All in all, the productivity of the whole world is plummeting rapidly. Fortunately, the corresponding consumption is also degraded, and the balance can be maintained for the time being.

But how long this balance can be maintained is really a metaphysical question that even the gods don't know.

As far as the U.S. economy is concerned, the spread of the "Corona" epidemic, especially the spread of various mutated strains, coupled with the secondary disasters of the revival of spiritual energy-such as zombies, earthquakes, hauntings, and logistics collapse... The final result is skyrocketing prices and a depressed market.

The U.S. stock market’s repeated meltdowns in March were all due to the Fed’s frantic printing of [-] trillion yuan in money and forced quantitative easing, which barely recovered the blood.

——But to be honest, this way of doing it is not so much about returning blood, as it is about pouring water.

It's just like puffiness, just like the big belly edema disease that was starved to death in the famine era.

What's more terrible is that after entering June, with the catastrophe that destroyed Los Angeles, the U.S. stock market once again experienced N consecutive circuit breakers. The pulling effect brought by the previous [-] trillion US dollars "quantitative easing" has also been exhausted. Can't stand the downturn in the stock market.

As for whether there should be another "quantitative easing" of US$[-] trillion, there are still fierce debates on Capitol Hill, and it is difficult to decide for a while.

— After all, the U.S. national debt has exceeded $30 trillion today!There are hundreds of thousands of dollars on the head of every American!

Looking back on the past, the measly 16 trillion "quantitative easing" of the Austrian and black leader back then was already frightening, but this year the United States actually has to print [-] trillion dollars in three months... If it is true Franklin's green paper was printed as straw paper, but what to do?

Money printing magic can be fun for a while, but in the end it will be a death!

At the same time, the "Black Lives Matter" movement and zero-dollar purchases that have swept across the United States, coupled with the influx of refugees from the Greater Los Angeles area, the worsening epidemic situation and the imminent collapse of law and order in the Midwestern states, are still rapidly consuming America's financial resources.

In order to relieve refugees, suppress riots, expand prisons to accommodate the rapidly increasing number of prisoners, and prevent and control the plague—even if it is just to bury the dead, and to raise the salaries of civil servants to fight inflation, the federal and state governments are burning wildly every day. money!

Not to mention, this year is still an election year in the United States, and the election itself will consume a considerable amount of social resources.

In the case of extreme lack of money, it is difficult for the ruling class not to slip in their minds and turn their attention to various crooked ways...

So Megumi Akiyama, who was driving northbound on California Highway [-], saw a piece of super explosive news on his smartphone.

"... Full legalization of narcotics? Do you know Wang is crazy? Uh, no, he was crazy from the beginning, at least pretending to be crazy."

Megumi Akiyama complained, "...but how could the House and Senate on Capitol Hill pass such an outrageous law?"

"... What else could be the reason? It must have been forced out by lack of money! You are counting on illegal drugs to collect taxes!"

As a native American girl, Dolores, a red-necked girl from Louisiana, is clear about this, "...whenever the government encounters financial difficulties, the black market economy that decent people didn't like in the past, will be It has become a golden job that the government wants to grab..."

——A long, long time ago, the United States was actually a Puritan country with the supremacy of religion and advocating morality.

Not to mention taking drugs and gambling, men and women have carnivals, and even drinking was once banned in the United States.

Of course, it is impossible to ban all kinds of depraved pleasures in private, but at least on the surface, those gentlemen and ladies are still very decent.

So, how did such a sanctimonious Puritan America become the decadent and depraved mess it is today?

It's very simple, the government's financial difficulties have reached the point of no return, so naturally they have no choice but to lose their conscience and rely on crooked methods to make money!

Who made officials in this world love black money?

Since a long time ago, the United States has liked to think of crooked ideas when encountering difficulties, relying on quick money to get through, instead of doing things down-to-earth.

Why was Prohibition banned in the United States before World War II?

Because it was at the time of the Great Depression in the United States. In order to revive the economy and implement the New Deal, Roosevelt launched so many huge money-burning projects in one go. He had to raise money crazily, so he took a fancy to the illegal alcohol business controlled by the mafia everywhere——Roosevelt The government first killed these mafia as commercial competitors in the name of violating the law, and then canceled the prohibition of alcohol in the United States and changed it to a government monopoly, earning a huge sum of money back.

Why did Las Vegas, an originally remote and deserted desert city in Nevada, become a world-class casino full of sensuality and luxury?

It was also because of the Great Depression that the state of Nevada went bankrupt. Officials couldn't get their salaries, and they screamed with hunger.However, Nevada is deep inland, full of deserts, and there is no source of income to be discovered... In the end, the gambling ban was lifted against conscience, and profits were made by operating casinos.

Although it made Nevada notorious at the time, it was so poor that no one cared about reputation.

Next, since the government relies on alcohol and gambling to make money, there is no way to prohibit alcohol and gambling, and even vigorously promote it, saying that alcoholism is not something to be ashamed of, and gambling is not a sin... Only in this way can people drink more and gamble more. Contribute more to the country.

As a result, the conservative Puritan America quickly disappeared in the degeneration of hedonism.

In short, in the United States, whenever the finances encounter an unresolvable crisis, the integrity of the ruling group will fall through the floor...

But the problem is that when a country encounters a little difficulty, it starts to use its brains and only wants to cheat to pass the customs by making quick money instead of doing things down-to-earth. Then it is strange that this country does not encounter difficulties.

Therefore, the United States in the twentieth century went on and on like this, endlessly, making the lower limit of morality unstoppable.

Now the financially distressed U.S. government has come up with the seemingly earth-shattering "comprehensive legalization of narcotics", which is nothing more than a repeat of the past.

However, due to the fact that the U.S. government has performed too many operations that have fallen below the lower limit, the bottom line is already approaching the center of the earth.

Nowadays, if we want to continue to make a lot of money in various dirty industries, there is not much potential for the federal government to explore.

At present, gambling in the United States is completely legal. There are casinos everywhere, even in Indian reservations. It is meaningless to gamble.

Next, the brothel has little tax potential in the United States.

Because those high-end accompanying girls are either doing business in a social manner and have already paid taxes; or they are simply public relations girls (house prostitutes) raised by large companies themselves, used on social occasions, and some companies pay taxes. Invoices can also be issued, and it is impossible to collect more taxes.

On the other hand, low-end services and no fixed residence are common illegal business operations and tax evasion, but it is too difficult to collect them.

Besides, these street girls were already quite poor, but now because of the economic depression, most of them are heavily in debt, even if they are exploited to death, the benefits are limited.

Before that, just when a member of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington tried to let the wind go, the American warbler union immediately said that if you want money, you need to have a body. In the past, when farmers had no money to pay taxes, didn’t they just pay grain instead? ?Then they can naturally use their services to pay taxes!

Therefore, if the federal government must collect taxes from these "poor women", they can only choose to pay the "tax in kind" directly. Tomorrow, they will organize a hundred beautiful sisters to go to the IRS and lie down on the sofa in the office , See how you officials charge?

Uh, if you really accept it, it will be tantamount to turning the low-level street girls into top-tier "official prostitutes", and the social class has jumped!

Therefore, Capitol Hill had to give up resentfully and devote all its thoughts to the anesthetic market. Compared with the pitiful little money in the pockets of street girls, this market is too rich. The transaction volume is as high as 3200 billion US dollars!

Such a huge profit, rather than allowing the scum drug dealers who deserve to go to hell to make a fortune, it is better to let the US government, which advocates democracy, loves freedom, and respects human rights, do it.And as long as the ban is lifted, the U.S. government's annual drug control budget of 400 billion U.S. dollars can also be saved.

In this way, one in and one out, and then take the [legal narcotics industry] to the financial market to add a few leverages, and raise a wave of financing...

Then it will be even more profitable!

Various official employees who were originally in charge of anti-narcotics happened to be able to go to the state-run "special pharmacy" to sell drugs and work as bodyguards, earning more than in the past.

Those wandering poisonous bugs who have lost the ability to work can also go to the relief station to have their fill for free or at a low price, so that they should die early and die happily.

——In capitalist America, the people at the bottom are consumables, immigrants are fresh raw materials, and homeless people are discarded waste...

Since it is waste, it is natural to recycle what can be recycled, and if it cannot be recycled, it should find a way to destroy it as soon as possible.

Therefore, the red states worried about the financial crisis, and the blue states chanted personal freedom, and finally worked together to achieve the passage of "full legalization of anesthetics".

Considering that this year is still a general election year in which the two parties are sharply opposed, it can be said that this is simply a miracle.

And the ordinary Americans at the bottom are actually happy to hear this, because they are either tired of drug control that is better than nothing, and feel that it is enough to let those poisonous bugs have a good time; Let's have a good time in a fair way.

Megumi Akiyama saw the comments on Twitter, and basically agreed with this one-sidedly, thinking that it would be good to let the country fall into "chemical bliss".

Either they feel that the country has long been caught in "chemical bliss" and cannot extricate themselves, and that it is better to admit the reality than to pretend.

Of course, there are also people who are worried. For example, Akiyama Megumi saw a highly praised comment saying: "This time the country has lifted the ban on anesthetics in order to save the finances. So what should we do next time the financial crisis? We can't take the old The Roman arena and gladiators, have you also worked out it?"

And the most praised reply below is: "...Brother, you are so naive! The next crisis will be World War III!"

As far as Akiyama Hui's personal opinion is concerned, regardless of morality and integrity, "comprehensive legalization of narcotic drugs" can be regarded as an emergency measure only in terms of short-term finances. However, with the current implementation capabilities of the US official, she is really very concerned. Doubt whether the drug tax can be collected?

Refer to Canada, no, the experience of adding marijuana, it is very likely that the "official drug" will not be sold in the end, and the "private drug" will be flooded everywhere...

Just like in ancient China, salt and iron were monopolized, but the official salt of the imperial court could not always compete with private salt.

Moreover, if the "comprehensive legalization of anesthetics" can also be said to mean that the country has to drink poison to quench its thirst in order to solve the financial crisis.

Then, another decree passed in the past two days made Akiyama Hui start to wonder whether the United States is really ruled by a group of lizardmen...

——After the outbreak of the "Corona" epidemic and the Los Angeles earthquake & haunting & nuclear explosions, the number of homeless people in major cities in the United States is exploding rapidly.Many people were still middle-class in Los Angeles, but they ran to other cities penniless, and if they were unlucky, they would directly become homeless.

Why did their social class fall so quickly?

Because, to work in the United States, you must have an official address. If you have no savings and cannot rent a house, no one will be willing to recruit you.

But if you don’t have a job, it means you have no money and bad credit, and bad credit means you can’t rent a house, so the vicious circle continues...

Therefore, among the homeless in the United States, there are quite a lot of highly educated and powerful brothers, but they are useless. Once you become a homeless, it will be difficult to return to the right track.

Therefore, in response to the increasingly serious problem of homeless people in the United States recently, Capitol Hill made a strange move: If you can't solve the problem, just solve the people!

——After the Los Angeles earthquake, the Senate and the House of Representatives in Washington actually passed a "Homeless Act", defining all homeless people as criminals.After being caught, you will either go to jail for half a year or pay a $1000 fine.

Obviously, the vast majority of homeless people will definitely not be able to spend $1000, so they must go to prison for reform.

——The MPs on Capitol Hill are all great benevolent people from all over the world. They don't see the poor in their eyes, so they put the poor in prison.

This is simply the workhouse reproduction of the British Empire!If Dickens saw this, wouldn't he be angry and come back to life?

What's even more tragic is that most of the prisons in the United States are now privately owned. When homeless people are caught, they are directly forced to work as coolies. They are paid a few cents an hour. We have to subsidize private prisons...

If the six-month sentence for homeless people is too short, the bosses of those private prisons still have ways to find fault and extend the sentence!

Relying on these unpaid modern slaves, the capitalists who run the prison really won!

Otherwise, how could there be a game like "Prison Designer" in the United States?It can be seen that art really comes from life.

——The Soviet Union has state-run gulag labor camps, and the United States has private slave prisons. These two are really a match made in heaven.

At the same time, in view of the upheaval of the cat god Buster's coming to the mortal world, Congress is considering a new "Stray Pet Protection Act" to strengthen the protection of stray cats and dogs. .”

Let’s get in touch with the “Black Lives Matter” movement that is intensifying across the United States today…

Putting these things together is simply too ironic.

It seems that in the United States, only the poor live or die?

Megumi Akiyama, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, smiled wryly and put away the phone in a dispirited manner.

Next, the convoy passed Cape Robles, where Megumi Akiyama admired the towering redwood forest and the coastal scenery of sea and sky.

After that, Megumi Akiyama and his team had a sumptuous lunch at the Wangyoucao Restaurant, which claims to have the most beautiful sea view in California.

After dinner, in the Monterey Bay dotted with white sails, she saw the wonderful sight of whale spouts from afar.

Finally, when twilight was about to fall, the convoy finally arrived in San Francisco, and the Golden Gate Bridge, which often appeared in movies, appeared in front of it.

However, Megumi Akiyama had just checked into the Hefeng Hotel in Fisherman's Wharf, put down his luggage in the room, and hadn't had time to take a shower and rest.

Ms. Freya brought her an exquisite bronzing invitation signed by the governor's wife Jennifer.

"...I just arrived in San Francisco, and the Governor's wife invited me to a party? Well, it's good to make some connections, but..."

Looking at the content on the invitation, Megumi Akiyama was not only a little speechless, "...I have no plan to develop in San Francisco!"

"...Let's go and have a look. It's not bad anyway, is it? You have to give the governor's wife a face, right?"

Ms. Freya persuaded, "...is there anyone in the world who isn't curious about you these days?"

So, that night, Megumi Akiyama and "Flying Noodles" Chen Qiuhan came to the party held by the governor's wife in San Francisco...

PS: Tomorrow is the end of this volume, and the next volume "The Broom of the New World" will start next.

Chapter 143, Socializing is Tiring

The most expensive residential area for the rich in San Francisco, a luxury villa in "Pacific Heights"

In this luxurious villa overlooking the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge, the little witch Hui Akiyama, who was invited to the meeting, saw almost everything she could imagine that met the definition of "luxury".

——Swimming pool, squash court, massage room, gym, concert hall, private cinema, exotic Turkish bath... There is even an exquisite small casino and several professional bunny dealers dug from Las Vegas , to provide various services for the guests.

Even those visitors who hate noise and prefer quiet can stroll through the rooms and corridors of different styles in the club, looking at the carefully carved panels and carefully selected furniture, as well as the dotted statues and oil paintings , Savor the delicacy and charm here.

In addition, the garden illuminated by the night lights outside the house is also exquisite and elegant, filled with a rich fragrance of flowers and a touch of water vapor.

——Compared with the desert climate of Los Angeles, which is sunny all year round, dry and less rainy, the air in San Francisco, surrounded by the sea on three sides, is much humid and often foggy. For immigrants from East Asia, the feeling of living in this place , I am afraid that it is more comfortable than the arid Los Angeles.

Therefore, although the size of the San Francisco Bay Area urban agglomeration is slightly smaller than that of Los Angeles, the number of Asian residents is actually more than that of Los Angeles.

Next, the luxury of this beach house is not only reflected in the entertainment facilities and expensive decoration, but also in every detail.

For example, the tableware on the table, painted with cobalt blue ribbons and gold edges, and engraved with intricate patterns, seems to be individual works of art.

Even the butter dish has an ingenious design-the silver-plated and carved butter dish is placed on the groove filled with crushed ice, so that the butter in the dish, even if it is surrounded by steaming food, You can still maintain your beautiful figure, and it won't melt and collapse...

Every detail is clamoring [low-key luxury] - not the kind of braggadocio of nouveau riche, but genuine low-key and luxury!
