Wu ...... Mr. Wu, the TLC committee can set up another special line for you. The Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info is like a Boro taxi, but of course, if you don't like green (needless to say!) You can use a different color as a differentiator. Hearing that Wu Chen was going to hire 60,000 veteran taxi drivers, the black chairman unwittingly used honorifics.

Boluo taxis are the kind of taxis that are painted green. Pick-up is only permitted in Upper Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island, not including LaGuardia and JFK International Airport in Queens, the two most important source destinations.

Wu Chen nodded: "The color of the body will be determined later." The right of the special line to carry passengers and pick up passengers freely in the five districts of New York must be adequately guaranteed. So, Mr. President, there is a difference between our authority and that of Boluo Taxi. ”

"I totally understand." The black chairman nodded solemnly: "As long as the origin and destination are Staten Island, your taxi can park in any of the five districts of New York." ”

"That's it." Wu Chen nodded happily.

After reaching a consensus, the two sides shook hands and said goodbye with satisfaction.

Of course, as a TLC committee, not only can you charge a considerable administrative fee, but also the annual membership fee of the 60,000 new taxi drivers is also a very considerable income. The main point is that the number of people is directly linked to the number of votes. More people mean more votes on the TLC committee (note that), and votes can influence not only city elections, but also many policies and regulations. That's the point. Because, a trade union member, can influence the voting tendency of a family and even the circle of friends around it.

The strength of trade unions is the result of a pan-democratic electoral system with several heads.

Whether pan-democracy is true democracy or not is a matter of opinion. Wu Chen himself couldn't say clearly. What he was clear, however, was that the right to vote had to be matched by citizenship. The exercise of voting rights at a certain level is premised on the natural person's commensurate citizenship.

This is closely related to the level of education, the state of development, and even what camp it is in.

For example, some time ago, there was a lot of uproar - the Brexit referendum.

It was only hours after Britain voted to leave the European Union that the British people began to ponder a laughable question: What is the European Union?

According to statistics from Google Trends, it was only after the Brexit referendum that UK residents began to ask some of the most basic questions, including what is the EU and which countries belong to the EU. Google Trends posted on Twitter, "What is the European Union? It is the second most asked question by Britons since the official announcement of the British referendum results.

Despite choosing to leave the EU, the search behaviour of the British people reflects their concerns about this decision, such as the fact that in addition to searching for what is the EU, they are also frantically searching for "what does it mean to leave the EU?" ”

Why did you go earlier?

This is still an old imperialist country, which can be regarded as the quality of citizens ranked among the top in the world (football hooligans, please ignore it automatically).

It is precisely because of hanging on the Internet every day that there are too many things that should be known, what should not be known, and too many things that should be known, so in the system architecture of the new Hong Kong, Wu Chen did not adopt a pan-democracy with a few heads, but a centralized democracy with skyscrapers as the basic unit and gathering public opinion at the upper levels.

Just as God the Father taught him by word and deed, he was taught the importance of layering.

So in his view, citizenship is also hierarchical: island citizenship, great power citizenship, world citizenship, interstellar citizenship, and so on.

In New York, he is buying islands, building subways, and buying special lines, but he is actually doing what the mother god earnestly taught him: There is nothing more difficult in the world than to make up for the sky (deep or not?). ）。

Although Wu Chen's actions made many people secretly worried, they were beyond reproach.

Are the veterans at fault?

As they say, it is the duty of a military man to obey orders. They are just sharp weapons, as for how to use them, whether they are used well or not, it is a matter of the superstructure. Just like the gun control bill that has been delayed. An important argument of the opposition is that there is nothing wrong with the gun, it is the people who use it who are at fault.

Moreover, these veterans are hired at a salary 10 times higher than the federal basic salary, in a sense, it is also a kind of praise and compensation for them. Because the salary given by Wu Chen has far exceeded the average level of taxi drivers. Not a compliment, or what?

Suppose the veterans work eight hours a day, they will receive $580. If they work 20 days a month, they would earn a whopping $11,600 a month, or $139,200 as an adult.

The point is, these are after-tax salaries!

In the United States, the average annual income of a white (non-Hispanic, mainly Anglo-Saxon) family is about 54,000, which is still before taxes.

At the current rate, a family filing a joint tax return (optimal tax system) will be taxed at a rate of 10% if the family's taxable income is less than $16,750. If the income exceeds $373,650, the tax rate on the higher part reaches a terrifying 35% (what's there?). Go and see Rancy! ）。

Therefore, an annual salary of 140,000 after tax is definitely a very tempting salary. It has surpassed the most popular professions such as dentists, pilots, lawyers, and doctors.

And that's just the guaranteed salary. Plus the commission for carrying passengers and various benefits. In short, the annual salary of a conscientious veteran taxi driver can easily exceed 200,000 (after tax).

In the view of Su Yueming, who has always believed that 'human quality plays a decisive role', this is definitely the most reasonable way to spend money. So let her spend 12.6 billion to buy 10,000 rental licenses, she was unwilling. However, she was very happy to hire 60,000 veterans at the same cost.

The first person to show respect to Wu Chen was the Veterans Affairs Department.

The official name of the Department of Veterans Affairs is: United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Founded in 1989, it is the Cabinet arm serving U.S. veterans and their families. Formerly known as the Veterans Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs is the second largest department of the federal government (mind you!). The headquarters has a staff of 4,000 people, second only to the U.S. Department of Defense, and has a total of more than 200,000 personnel in the country, accounting for 1/7 of the entire federal government employees. There are 58 offices in 50 states, and the directors of each office are appointed by the minister. As the executive agency, each office is responsible for veterans' services in their jurisdictions.

The work of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs is directed to the President. That's why it was signed by the internal departments.

One can imagine how powerful the influence of this department is in all aspects.

Wu Chen and VA (Don't look down...... The atmosphere of the minister's meeting was also very friendly. When it was determined that Wu Chen would hire up to 60,000 veterans, the minister asked a most crucial question. They are not just taxi drivers.

Wu Chen replied with a smile, 100% yes.

The minister stared at Wu Chen's eyes for a long time, and then nodded with a smile.

With regard to the selection of drivers to be hired, the Minister suggested that the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Veterans Association could jointly develop them.

Wu Chen asked Fang Zhi that there are many veterans' social groups in the United States. The more well-known is the Veterans Association. Founded in 1919 with the approval of Congress, it now has 3 million members and 55 chapters in various locations. The expenses of the association depend on the membership fees paid by the members. The purpose of the association is to evaluate the quality of the work of the veterans' office, lobby members of Congress, fight for the benefits and benefits that veterans deserve, and also carry out a number of mutual aid activities. At present, these civil society organizations have a good cooperative relationship with the veterans' service agencies of the government departments, and play a supervisory and bridging role.

Wu Chen gladly accepted the proposal. But he also reserved the right to self-admit. After all, some veterans who could not get a recommendation for various reasons, such as mutilated limbs or psychological trauma, Wu Chen did not intend to turn them away.

Speaking of disabled veterans, Wu Chen immediately contacted Tony.

He wants to use his world-class (except for New Hong Kong, of course) robotics technology to create robotic prosthetics for disabled veterans who come to apply for jobs. Iron Man immediately agreed.

So, as another meeting point of time and space, New York is too rich in resources.

The design of the taxi has also been completed, and the Moon Factory is working in full swing to build the first prototype.

Hectic and busy, another week passed. Su Yueming has to work late every day, so these days all the people who accompany Wu Chen are the dead woman and others. Traditionally, the first week is the period of protection for the newlyweds of the deceased woman. Even Su Yueming must leave enough time for the dead girl to accompany her. deepened the spiritual connection with Wu Chen, and also pushed the progress of various gentlemen to heroes.

With the deep involvement of the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Veterans Association, the recruitment of taxi drivers is progressing well. Not only the decorated veterans of New York, but veterans from all over North America are converging on New York City.

Unconsciously, there were suddenly many strangers in the city with resolute eyes and strong bodies.

Without exception, they are converging on the recruitment centers set up in various places. This has also raised the alarm of local taxi drivers.

Under the constant urging of the black chairman of the TLC committee, Wu Chen's first prototype car was successfully delivered to New York by the arc space station.

"Stibek?" Seeing this ancient car logo, Wu Chen couldn't help but wonder.

Summit Technologies, founded by Sam Witwich, was originally located in South Bend, 90 miles from Chicago. In this small town on the shores of Lake Michigan in northern Indiana, inside an abandoned Stibek car manufacturing plant.

Although Summit Technology later set up its own business and built an ultra-modern office building, the old Sam bought the long-bankrupt Stibek car factory. Now I heard that Wu Chen wanted to build 10,000 taxis, so he transferred all the shares of Stibek Automobile Factory to Su Yueming, who re-registered and resurrected the ancient luxury brand of Stibek.

Therefore, Su Yueming's Jianneng Group has another automobile company.

So, this classic sci-fi style taxi is wearing the Stibek logo.

"The core system uses a nuclear furnace and electric propulsion similar to that of the dear AE86. The fully transparent alumina cockpit is modified from the Phoenix's one-man escape pod, housed with Iron Man 3 individual power armor, and integrates most of the functions of the Pauling medical cabin. It also integrates an environmental collector, all-terrain radar, quantum communication chain, water, land and air amphibious mode, full energy film coverage, stress energy shield, on-board intelligent brain, body weapon system, variable armored turret, optical environment camouflage, and ......" Su Yueming unfolded the body structure one by one.

Thanks to a larger body than the AE86, the prototype has more space to integrate powerful survival and combat modules.

Overall Rating: ★★ ☆.

The strength of a car is comparable to that of a third-level mutant. And because it is a powerful integrated combat platform, it is obviously more suitable for extremely intense and brutal battles than mutants!

Helium-3 Energy Furnace, Lunar Superalloy, Transparent Alumina, Iron Man Power Armor...... Not to mention these, Su Yueming was actually stuffed into the Pauling medical cabin! That's a powerful medical device that can take out aliens! Not to mention the Phoenix's one-person escape pod - it can generate constant temperature, constant pressure, moisture, oxygen, and even complete life-sustaining equipment such as nutrient solution storage, fecal collection, etc.

In a word, no expense.

"What's this car called?" Wu Chen is looking forward to it.

“ujr。” Su Yueming raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"What do you mean?" This is obviously an abbreviation.

"Urbanjunglesrangers." Su Yueming smiled and blinked: "It can also be translated as an urban jungle ranger." ”

"Not bad." Wu Chen nodded happily.

Su Yueming was very satisfied with Wu Chen's reaction, and it was not in vain that the old lady had been busy for so long, listening to the chorus of a few little waves of hooves and sleeping night after night. Su Damei smiled: "But what can you add?" ”

"It's been great. There's really nothing to change......" Wu Chen thought for a while, and suddenly spoke: "Add the rear passenger compartment to the cryo-sleep function." ”

TT40 immediately understood the purpose of this approach: "Cryosleep for passengers in critical situations, such as serious injuries, mutations, emotional breakdowns, loss of control, etc. This is an excellent protection mechanism. ”

Su Yueming, who was a hundred secrets, couldn't help but sigh: "If you want to say, why are you my man." ”

Wu Chen smiled modestly: "I've watched too many movies and comics...... What do you mean? Familiar with 300 Tang poems, can not compose poems can also chant. I've been nurtured for a long time, so I'm not affected by it. ”

"Nope." Su Yueming shook his head very seriously: "It's your pluralistic values. It allows you to see things from a different perspective. A more comprehensive conclusion was drawn. We only think of protecting the driver, but you think of protecting the passengers. This is the glory that the Creator has given you, and don't lose her. ”

"Okay." Wu Chen nodded solemnly.

After the renovation was completed, the UJR has a rating of up to three stars.

Obviously, the protection of rear passengers has been praised by zero adults. In other words, in fact, the star rating of the shelter is not all based on the combat value.

In many cases, protection is also a powerful combat force.

Right? (To be continued.) )
