Chapter 787: "Lifting Four Hundred Times Your Weight"
The United States is a case law system, and if you simply understand it, the judgment of a case can be automatically upgraded to a law to be followed, and future cases will be handled according to the judgment result until a special circumstance occurs in a similar case, resulting in a different judgment, but even so, the previous case will not be overturned.

Therefore, with the development of time, there are more and more precedents, and it is impossible for people who are not legal professionals to know how a certain case was judged on a certain year, month, and day, so it is impossible for ordinary people to know whether certain acts are illegal. Therefore, the favorite thing for American lawyers to do is to dig through the piles of papers, find precedents in their favor to confront opposing lawyers, and then guide the jury to support them.
Of course, the United States has also planned to codify the criminal law, but the legal experts in charge of the matter have made a concerted effort to get rid of the matter every time. The reason is that the threshold for the legal profession is quite high, and lawyers are very satisfied with their social status, so they naturally do not want to see the government issue simple and clear legal provisions so that ordinary people can understand the law, so that the only result is that the status of lawyers plummets, and even making ends meet may become a problem.
Seeing the transcendent status of Anglo-American lawyers, lawyers in other countries of the world are full of all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, some of them want to go to Anglo-American, while others are committed to changing the legal system of their country to make it the same model as the Anglo-American legal system.
As a lawyer, the new president of the United States added a total of 11,327 pages of federal regulations during his first term, but the vast majority of them have a sense of "I can read every word, but I don't understand what they mean together" to the general public.
But who made this president the first black president in history, and no one dared to say that he did not do well, lest someone say, "Why can't a black president increase laws because of racial discrimination?" Is it only a white president to do that? ”。
In fact, Phoebe, like many of the upper echelons, not only followed the president's actions in the early days of his presidency, but still did three months after he took office, because everyone knew that the president's first term would be to work hard, or pretend to be trying to fulfill some of his campaign promises, in order to achieve a general election victory before the next term.
And for Phoebe, some of the campaign promises of the first black president of the United States are quite harmful to her, not to mention tax cuts, Phoebe actually doesn't feel too much pressure on this, although she will try to avoid taxes like other companies, but pay taxes to the German government and the U.S. government, but don't forget, because Titan has its own output of grain and meat products, as well as the output of special materials, and in addition to being able to oversupply employees, can also independently support Titan's plan for food aid to East Africa, plus the energy supply of the floating islands is based on waves, wind energy and gravity cores, and the initial investment is entirely Titan own technology, the plan is equivalent to completely free energy, so she saves a considerable part of her expenses, so the pressure on paying taxes is really not big - of course, Phoebe pays so much tax, and there are reasons to have a good relationship with Congress and the tax office, after all, those in the know know that Titan is a defense contractor, It is also a military contractor, an intelligence and special tools contractor, and a large-scale project contractor, and it actually makes a lot of money, so in order to avoid trouble, Phoebe does not even use offshore company holdings to avoid taxes like many high-tech companies, such as Google.
But as I just said, because the energy of the floating island is completely free energy, and the new president's campaign promise mentions to reduce more carbon emissions and use more clean energy by 2020, which makes Phoebe worry about a problem, that is, the new president is suddenly interested in Titan's energy supply chain, and then finds that the energy used by Titan is very consistent with the clean energy he promised, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not ask Titan for gravity core technology, the problem is that the world is now based on oil energy, Phoebe knows too well that the industrial capital group favors oil energy, at least in the short term, they will not give up oil energy, and the new president is a Democrat, and has a very close relationship with the financial capital forces, it can be said that even if you can't get the gravity core technology from Titanus, it is good to be able to separate the relationship between Titan and the industrial capital forces.
As a result, Phoebe pays more attention to the new president's actions than anyone else.
Later records mention that during the first term of President Ma, the U.S. federal regulations increased by as many as 11,327 pages, of which about 3,000 pages were all about environmental protection, and every time Phoebe saw that the new regulations involved environmental protection, he wanted to hang up the new president, lest the next time he came up with the regulations, it would really push Titan to re-reconcile with the forces of industrial capital.
It's not that Phoebe is afraid of the power of industrial capital, but Phoebe feels that time is delayed. After all, the appearance of Titan is used by Phoebe to escort Girls' Generation, and now the relationship between Titan and the Industrial Capital Group is very good, and the most important thing is that Vivendi has just been impressed with the help of General Motors, so that Girls' Generation has obtained the promotion advertisement of World of Warcraft, and after that, there will be other actions with the help of other groups in the industrial capital forces, if you need to rebalance the relationship with the industrial capital forces, it will delay too many things, and for Girls' Generation, which has been debuting for three years, Time really isn't enough.
But Phoebe understands that this president really can't die now, because it is said that the Nobel Peace Prize is already destined to be given to him, and if he dies before he wins the prize, or if he dies just after winning the prize, it will be a big problem.
And Phoebe also knows that the president still has an important task that everyone knows to do, that is, to find a new real economy for the financial economy to be attached to, and to formulate relevant laws and regulations for it, and the highest call at present is the complete legalization of the big hemp transaction, and if this transaction is legal, it will naturally give rise to secondary financial markets such as new futures, futures indexes and other related secondary financial markets.
However, the new president has also done some good things, such as he has completely lifted the cap on political contributions, which has made everyone, especially politicians, understand that in future elections, whether it is to elect a president, a congressman or even a state attorney, even if the losing side is the loser, it can be more money than before.
So the first black president passed this matter, in fact, he had already won the support of the Republican side, and Phoebe naturally understood this.
As for the middle class in the United States that has been hit by the financial crisis, in fact, in the eyes of the high-level, many of them are pseudo-middle class, although they live in a lot of houses and drive good cars, but in fact, this type of people are no different from the bottom of the slums, they are all spending tomorrow's money today, and how can anyone of this type be called the middle class?
Therefore, when the economic crisis emerged, this pseudo-middle class was quickly beaten back to its original shape, but it was still daydreaming, thinking about continuing to experience the life of the real middle class ahead of consumption, although the upper class did not like the middle class to jump into the upper class, but even more did not like the emergence of a large number of pseudo-middle class in the middle class. They are characterized by being very self-conscious in their consumption, and most of the advanced consumption is caused by them, and the cause of this financial crisis is actually due to the greed of the financial group on the one hand, and also from the greed of the pseudo-middle class itself.
So in the eyes of the upper class and the real middle class, this type of homeless person is not at all worthy of pity. And more importantly, in the eyes of the upper class, there is more data that shows that the pseudo-middle class will not think about how to improve their economic situation after spending ahead of time, but will only think about spending ahead again, and this is also the reason why the subprime mortgages of financial groups cannot be improved fundamentally - giving you good living conditions and educational resources, but you don't want to improve your financial situation, but think about how to continue to consume, and in the end something happens and comes to blame you for the relaxation of people, so that you can get good living conditions……
Therefore, neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party really intends to save these people who were immediately beaten back to their original form after less than half a year of unemployment.
What's more, the pseudo-middle class is much more radical than the real middle class, and once they are stabilized in the middle class, they will immediately seek to enter the upper class, rather than the opportunity to jump into the middle class like the real middle class, to actively improve and improve themselves, so they are even more disgusting than the real middle class, in fact, at a Republican convention last year, the congressmen who opposed the salvation of the civilian population spoke out everyone's thoughts:" Let those bastards go back to the slums and die! ”
The most interesting thing is that although these words were said in public, neither the Democratic or Republican media, nor even some media that consider themselves centrists, did not follow their remarks and guide public opinion. The reason for this is that in fact, everyone has known for a long time that the pseudo-middle class is a cancer in American society. Both progressives and conservatives believe that it is good to take this opportunity to completely clear the pseudo-middle class out of the middle class, and as for the incidental problems such as family ruin, child poverty, etc., it is nothing, don't everyone donate to charity? As for wanting to go back to their old lives, then I'm sorry, no one wants to pay for other people's laziness and lack of progress, after all, the United States is capitalism, not socialism.
As for the rising crime rate and the rising suicide rate, that's even more fine, because the Democratic president has always encouraged the increase in the street killing rate, and our first black president has put many laws and regulations related to law and order and the police law enforcement into paper, adding more than 10,000 pages of laws and regulations that he added in his first year.
Therefore, the United States is still strong, because the core system of the United States has not been affected at all, to be precise, the upper class of the United States has taken advantage of many financial crises to make the core system of the United States get the opportunity to de-rot and save the clean, survival of the fittest, and further strengthen the core system of the United States, if you really carefully discern it, in fact, the United States is a country similar to India, and its core system has about 30 million people, covering the upper class and the middle class of society, and the others, including the bottom of society, the other half of the middle class, And a large number of pseudo-middle classes, which are just peripheral personnel who rely on this core existence, can be replaced at any time - yes, the meaning of the United States as a country of immigrants has long become this model, which is why it was said before that the United States is actually still a colony, but the Americans themselves are colonizing the United States.
And Phoebe is well versed in the operation mode of this system, so she can easily climb along this system, but Phoebe also understands that the "immunity" mechanism of this system is equally powerful, just like why Chinese Americans are still discriminated against in the United States, many people have various explanations, but in the final analysis, even if Chinese Americans become the middle class in the United States, they have not become the middle class in the United States like other middle classes, but some like the pseudo-middle class, The style of conduct would have an impact on the reliability of the American middle class, which the American upper class would never tolerate – yes, Phoebe herself could not tolerate the destruction of the middle class by the Chinese middle class, which is why Titan recruited only Germans in large numbers.
As soon as the other upper class saw Phoebe's style of acting, they immediately understood that Phoebe was one of their own, so she was not ostracized because of her Chinese identity.
Of course, the middle class in this system will still discriminate against Phoebe's Chinese identity, but Phoebe will not take it seriously, because this is like an ant mocking humans for not being able to lift a weight of 400 times their own weight, people are people, and ants will always be ants, what is there to worry about? On the contrary, human beings are more likely to cherish ants for fear of killing one, because humans understand that ants are one of the beneficial animals that maintain the natural environment, and they are so small and cute, they can crawl around, and they can perform how to lift heavy objects that exceed four hundred times their own body weight - as I said before, although she can feel the emotions of others, she rarely feels and pays attention to them, and this is the reason.
And this time, in order to create a different new image for Girls' Generation, Phoebe is also a little like an ant showing herself to lift something that can lift four hundred times her weight, of course, Phoebe knows that most of her plans to promote Girls' Generation are actually "lifting more than four hundred times her own weight", but no one can deny that her "performance" is indeed much better than that of the ants.
For example, this time, she made full use of the light of Knowles, and guided the public opinion of her lawsuit with the company throughout the process, of course, by the way, she also "beaten" the fans of her predecessors with a blue nose and swollen face, which made the lawsuit of her predecessors completely lose the support of public opinion, which can be regarded as revenge for the lights out incident of last year's dream concert.
That's right, Phoebe hasn't forgotten this incident at all, but she won't retaliate straight at all, because if she retaliates directly, it will naturally be a spoils of war with human life, not like now, so that the fans of her predecessors feel that public opinion is not on their side, even if they say that it is useless to let the artist sign a slave contract.
In Phoebe's opinion, she felt that she had lived up to Sister Sun's expectations of herself, and she had become much more caring in dealing with the world, after all, there were no dead people this time, and no one was injured...... Of course, there are about a million people whose hearts are traumatized or something, so there is no way to do it, and Sister Sun has never said that she can't let the enemy's accomplices have their hearts wounded, so she can do it......
