Chapter 1665 Delicious

According to the current federal social security system itself, its main role is to provide various guarantees for the working class, such as medical security and social pension mechanism.

But it also locks the working class into the job market. Over a thirty-year span, it doesn't actually cost much, but its span is too long.

Almost bound the workers for a lifetime!

From a certain point of view this seems to be a good thing, so that workers can work their whole lives so that they will not be without support in old age.

Although they may not be very rich, at least they will not starve and freeze.

But it was such an idea that had a good starting point, but in the end, it became a prison for the working class.

Once there is a situation like the Great Depression, factories close down and workers lose their jobs, they can't pay security payments on time, so they can't enjoy lifelong security.

No one can guarantee that in the 30 years after starting work, the factory will not close down, and the economy will not go backwards. No one can guarantee that.

Even an accident could change their future!

But now, assuming a shortened payment deadline, the senator has asked a question that Mr. Williams cannot answer.

If the working class had paid enough social security that they could have life-long security at forty, would they still work as seriously as they do now until retirement?

If they can't maintain their hard-working spirit, they won't go to work as long as they have enough money in their pockets for their families.

When I run out of money in my pocket, I go to take a part-time job. What will happen to the production of society?

This is actually a very serious issue, and it is also the most concerned issue for capitalists.

Capitalists are well aware that if such a day is born, the initiative in work issues will change hands!

Now in the federal labor conflict, the capital side can always win the final victory, because the workers dare not casually shout "I quit it" and then leave!

If they want what they want (a social security system that they enjoy for life), then they must grit their teeth and continue to suffer in silence.

This is also the reason why the initiative is now in the hands of the capitalists. The entire society has only workers who lack jobs, and there are no jobs without workers!

But once people are less nervous, the initiative will change hands and be taken into the hands of the working class.

At that time, the capitalists will have to compete internally, and only if the salary standard of the post is increased and the welfare benefits are improved, will someone work for them.

This is what the capitalists do not want to see!

You must know that there are still many new immigrants in the federal government who are willing to reduce their wages to work for them, if not for the introduction of the "Job Guarantee Act" to ensure that there must be enough indigenous workers in each factory.

Maybe all the capitalists are starting to choose those cheap newcomers or Nagalilians with labor visas!

This is the ultimate contradiction, a contradiction between offense and defense, and here is where the capitalists will not compromise!

In another room, Mr. Trueman frowned slowly.

Although he can't appear in that position in person, nor can he appear in the gallery, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care, or won't come to the scene.

He was in a room next door, listening to the actual "live broadcast".

When the senator raised the question, he too was lost in thought.

He has not considered this issue, or he does not think that the working class will withdraw from production after paying enough social security funds, which is not in line with the trend of social development.

This is a capital society, with rapid development and changes in the commercialized market, which will not give people too much time to relax.

Like now, even if some people have paid enough social security for 30 years, aren't they still working?

There are even some people who have already started to enjoy pensions and are still looking for work!

Pensions can only prevent people from starving to death or freezing to death, but they cannot make life better.

But this problem is a little troublesome.

Because it's a hearing, because it's a defense, Mr. Williams has to answer this question.

Mr. Trueman had put himself in that position, and he didn't seem to have any good words to answer the Senator's question.

He actually knew that this was a challenge from Congress and the capitalists, but if he wanted to do this through formal channels, he had to reach a compromise with these people first.

Yes, the hearing is, in a sense, a process of compromise.

I make a price (ask a question), you give me your psychological offer (the process of answering the question), and finally decide whether to achieve it (compromise).

It's just that "political transactions" such as hearings are more transparent, and the most critical point is that its process and results will be recorded!

This is different from the verbal agreement that everyone walks into a secret small room, and that verbal agreement can be torn up unconditionally anytime, anywhere.

Political hooligans and political rogues are all over the political arena, and this kind of behavior has no psychological burden on politicians.

I don't admit that I made a promise, you say I said it, so what about the evidence?

Therefore, the stability of this political transaction is open to question.

But hearing political transactions in this way is much more reliable, because there will be records, files, and audio recordings.

It is impossible for anyone to deny these processes and evidence. Once a compromise is reached at the hearing, it is finally determined, and the results of the hearing are announced to the outside world, and these matters are completely determined.

It is impossible for anyone to go back on it, let alone tear up the agreement. After all, these are all evidence and files.

Modifying the labor security system is not a trivial matter. It is simply a matter of sitting down and discussing it, and then proceeding to solve it. No one dares to do so.

It has to be settled by a hearing, and right now, the other side is making an offer, but Mr. Williams, or Mr. Truman, doesn't have a good answer.

The whole hearing seemed a little... embarrassing.

This can be understood as the dissatisfaction of Congress and the capitalists with Mr. Williams, and Mr. President behind him.

On the other hand, it also means that they are not non-negotiable, but they need high-quality compromise, otherwise they will not nod!

The next questions are like this, Williams can't answer, or these people on stage don't give Williams a chance to answer. In such a dull atmosphere, the hearing ended.

It's only the first, not the last, so Williams can continue to attend the hearing, answer questions he's incapable of answering this time around, and then face some new ones.

This is political bargaining and compromise, only it's clearer.

Every step of concession or approximation will be clearly manifested!

Of course, this is only for the top level of the federal government and society. Like the bottom level of the federal government, they don't talk about whether such a hearing exists and its content.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't see anything from it.

At noon, Lynch and Mr. Trueman came to a popular roadside restaurant off Port Road.

When Mr. Truman was still the president's staff, he came here to do business and ate here once, and he never forgot.

It happened today, and he suddenly wanted to come over and revisit the food here, so he brought Lynch along.

The two found a remote corner to sit down. At this time, it was actually past lunchtime, and there were not so many people.

Mr. Trueman wears big sunglasses, and most people don't recognize him.

Based on the federal people's perception of political figures, it is possible that even if Mr. Trueman took off his glasses, many people couldn't remember who this familiar guy was!

"I'm drooling." As soon as Mr. Truman sat down, he couldn't help but be full of anticipation, "You will love it!"

"I promise!"

Lynch looked at the other tables, everyone was eating, he just responded with "I'm looking forward to it", but it made Mr. Trueman feel a little perfunctory.

It's not that Lynch really despised the cooks and their recipes here, but after the group of nobles from Gavra came, they changed the cook for Lynch.

They want something from Lynch, more than Lynch needs them, but Lynch is not short of money, and they can't come up with anything that is particularly important to Lynch. He provides some services.

After eating a lot of the craftsmanship of the aristocratic cooks, Lynch felt that it was difficult to break through his cognitive upper limit when it came to the taste on the roadside.

Mr. Trueman was not annoyed by Lynch's perfunctory behavior, he just said with a smile, "You will apologize to me for your attitude!"

After a few minutes of waiting, the food was served.

Each person has two servings.

One serving was dry steamed wheat kernels in a large bowl, which tasted a bit like eating rice, but it was more choking than rice.

On the other side, there is a big bowl...

Lynch stirred it up with a spoon. It was soybeans, carrots, and that kind of supermarket deboned ground beef, ninety-nine cents a pound!

The whole big bowl is filled with these and has a thick sauce and a real layer of butter!

As soon as he saw these two things~lightnovelpub.net~ Lynch took the initiative to apologize to Mr. Truman.

Who can say no to beef bisque mixed with wheat kernels?

He poured all the steamed wheat kernels into the beef thick soup, and gave a lot of ingredients. After stirring, each grain of wheat kernels was dipped in the thick soup, and there was a bright layer of butter on the surface!

Simple cooking yet gives the ultimate taste!

This flavor does not belong to that delicate flavor, and will not give you many kinds of taste changes and experiences.

But it will tell you-

You should **** eat!

Scooping up a large spoonful of soup, soybeans, carrots and stewed beef wrapped in wheat kernels, Lynch couldn't help but take a big bite.

He knew that these foods were actually unhealthy and too oily, but they were so **** delicious!

That kind of mouth-filling, simple and unpretentious satisfaction is definitely something that steak can't give!
