Chapter 566, Federal Wealth Division
There are many problems in New York, and New York's problems are very troublesome, but since Brooklyn has got New York, it is impossible to let go easily.
After a brief period of grumbling, the trio began to think seriously about strategy. There is no problem in starting with the security environment, and the three of them reached a consensus.
Then first solve the problems encountered in the governance of the public security environment! The trouble encountered in the governance of the public security environment comes from the people's distrust of the government, so let the people learn to trust the government.
But this trust is not a means of using to win votes and fight political opponents, but to really make people trust the government, understand that the government can ensure their safety, and understand that relying on the government is much better than relying on bullshit gangs.
At least the government has to do it better than the gangsters.
"Public opinion." Winston was the first to make the suggestion. As the most politically competent orthodox politician in a small political group of three, Winston's first thought was public opinion.
Want voters to cast their own votes? Then tell the voters through the media what benefits you can bring to them!
Want to turn the populace against political opponents? Then tell the people through the media what harm will be done to them by the claims of political enemies!
This is a common and best tactic used by politicians, and it has been tried and tested time and again! Even today, from the election of district attorneys to the presidential election, public opinion propaganda still plays an indispensable role.
If you want others to support you, at least you have to sue others first, why support you!
"A will soon be launching a show to explore the different professions in New York for a day and let New Yorkers learn about different industries." Winston tapped on the table and pondered
"When the ratings come up, City Hall and the Governor's Office will be invited to participate in the show to show the public the government's efforts to maintain law and order in New York." Politicians in the federation are not serious, if necessary, they can be on any talk show, any large-scale program, and even cooperate with some stars as long as necessary.
This makes federal politicians very close to the people, but this method has been used for a long time, and the people have seen through the faces of politicians saying one thing and doing another, and they will slowly become numb, and the programs will still be taken care of, talk shows will still be listened to, and restricted-level magazines will still be bought, as for what the politicians say, it depends on the mood.
“E.. Y can be open for tours, but participation in the show is not necessary. Brooklyn said.
The courthouse is different from the city hall, the city hall participates in the show, allowing the guests to experience the life of the mayor for a day, the big deal is that the city hall is closed for a day, anyway, after all these years, the city hall has done nothing, and New York is still operating as usual.
But the courts are different. Judges are armed with judicial weapons, and it is a profession with a certain threshold, and so many professional judicial people are qualified for this job, let alone a complete layman.
If you really let the guests experience the life of a judge for a day, it is not to promote their ideas, but to show everyone how casual and childish the court is!
"Police stations can also be open for tours, but they can't participate in the show." Frank followed Brooklyn Road
"The police station has an open house. I don't think it makes much sense to do that—for the police department. "Similar to the court, the police are the ones who deal with emergencies and catch criminals, and after so many years of bombing by the Criminal Investigation Bureau, the public is no stranger to the operation of the police station.
Allowing non-professionals to participate in the work of police officers is disrespectful to the guests and disrespectful to the citizens of New York.
"Similar open house courts and town halls could work." Anne said suddenly. Seeing the three of them looking at her, Anne smiled and continued
"There are open days for all kinds of institutions for the public to visit and supervise the work. But this kind of open house is more of a decoration and is not taken seriously. Maybe you can take it seriously and make the open day a real open day, so that the public can get to know each other up close and personally. This is much better than the effect of a TV show. ”
"After all, there are some things that you only hear about when you hear about them, and you can only believe them if you see them with your own eyes." Brooklyn's eyes lit up.
That's a great idea! Let the people get to know them up close, experience them personally, listen to them with their own ears, see them with their own eyes, understand them for themselves, and tell them 10,000 times better than others.
Frank got up and rummaged through the counters, returning with a stack of menus and a few pens, and jotted down the idea after handing it out.
"It's still going to be publicized." Brooklyn Road after the recording is completed
"It's too slow to visit this way on an open house. New York has a population of nearly 10 million, and we are limited in the number of visitors we can host on each open house. Moreover, many of the target groups we advertise do not even have food and clothing and their own safety problems, and they have no heart or energy to participate in the open day visit. ”
"That's right." Winston moved the menu to the side, avoiding the grease on the table
"We can pick some typical groups of people and follow examples, increase publicity efforts, and display them publicly. Especially you, Brooklyn, your work is very important, and a perfect example is erected in front of the public, and the effect is not inferior to that of an open house. Brooklyn nodded, writing quickly on the table
"That Gustav Svyatoslav is very good."
"There was a lot of commotion in the courtroom at noon today, and it almost caused a riot. Gustav Svyatoslav was also the leader of a large Brooklyn mob. It is very suitable for erecting typical standards. Brooklyn then looked up at Frank and admonished
"Frank, NYpd law enforcement should be careful to put an end to violent law enforcement. Let the police officers put down their posture, do not show a high look, and ignore the work, especially the people who call the police. ”
"When necessary, police officers who get along harmoniously with residents in the jurisdiction and often help residents in the jurisdiction can be commended, and welfare benefits can be improved to mobilize the enthusiasm of police officers." Frank himself worked his way up from the patrol force, and he has lived in the policing system all his life, and he has a much deeper understanding of the relationship and attitude between police officers and the people than Brooklyn.
He nodded, indicating that he had received a reminder. After a moment's hesitation, Winston turned to ask Frank
"Can you adjust the layout of the substation?" The NYpd Patrol Service Bureau is divided into eight service districts: Manhattan North, Manhattan South, Brooklyn North, Brooklyn South, Queens North, Queens South, Bronx and Staten Island.
The eight service districts can be subdivided into 77 sub-bureaus, each of which has its own jurisdiction. It seems to be evenly divided, but in fact it is not even at all.
Spread out a map of the branches of the NYpd sub-bureau, it is completely possible to divide the concentration of wealthy people in New York according to the density of the sub-bureaus, and the sub-bureaus are about to be concentrated, which means that the more wealthy people in the area, the more scattered the sub-bureaus, the fewer taxpayers and the lower the tax payment in the area.
In a 'hell' area like the one they just passed through, a sub-bureau needs to manage several times or even more than a dozen times the area of a sub-bureau in the rich area.
The number of police officers and weapons and equipment allocated to each sub-bureau are also different, the police stations in the rich areas are not only densely distributed, but the police stations are also more adequate and well-equipped, and the police stations in the poor areas not only need to manage a larger area, but the weapons and equipment may still be second-hand goods eliminated by the rich district bureaus.
Winston wanted to adjust the distribution of substations to make the subdivisions more evenly distributed throughout New York.
But apparently, this idea is a bit naïve. Not to mention how cumbersome it is to move to the police station, taxpayers alone will not be able to pass.
I pay more and deserve to be treated higher, so why should I be like those poor people? What grade is he and what grade am I?
In addition to taxpayers, there will also be problems within the police department. Of course, the police officers who were in the 'exile' area were happy that their patrol area was reduced and their tasks were reduced, but others were not happy.
I stayed in a good rich area, drinking coffee and blowing air conditioners every day, driving a brand new police car, and the day passed in the sky, why suddenly increased workload?
If the police in the rich areas are appeased by improving their treatment, the police in the poor areas have something to say.
In the past, I could only blame myself for being unlucky, blaming myself for not having a father who was in charge, I worked hard and complained, and I confessed.
Now that everyone is doing the same job, why does he take more than me? I have no credit and hard work! Don't suffer from widowhood and suffer from unevenness!
When inequality is maintained for a long time and has been accepted, once this equilibrium is broken, the resentment that has accumulated over the previous inequality will explode in an instant.
Even Frank is absolutely legally responsible. In the end, it may be the end of people who are not inside and out.
The problem was not solved, and the NYpd was separated from Germany, and even removed Frank from power.
"No, no, no." Frank quickly shook his head and expressed his concerns. Winston was a little disappointed, but understood that what Frank said was the truth, so he had to give up.
Originally, adjusting the layout of the sub-bureau was the most effective, easiest and fastest way to solve the problem. After all, public opinion propaganda is just lip service, and saying it 10,000 times is not as good as taking real action once.
After adjusting the layout of the sub-bureau, the police will have the ability to take into account the areas that they have ignored and cannot take care of before.
Speaking from one's own people is always more credible than speaking from outsiders. For these areas, the police and the government are outsiders, and the people in the community are their own people.
Once the newspaper activists spontaneously publicize it, it will soon lead the community to move closer to the government and abandon the current gangster governance.
Separating the community from the gangs, and then attacking the gangs, loses the protection of the people, and the gangs are just gangs, and cannot be opponents of the government.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work......
"Not necessarily." Just as Winston crossed out the entry on the menu, Brooklyn suddenly looked up.
"It's a trade-off." He twisted his ass and changed into a comfortable position, he was a little tired from the plane from Boston this morning, and he hadn't been idle until now.
"Abandon the rich and choose the majority, or continue to choose the rich and ignore the majority."
"If the sub-bureaus are reassigned, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the rich, but at the same time, it will also build the government's reputation more quickly and make them trust the government."
"It depends on how we make a trade-off." Brooklyn looked at Frank again.
"As for the problem of dissatisfaction with the police officers within the police department, it is actually very easy to solve."
"I think those police officers who work in poor conditions and work hard are more worthy of retention. And those policemen who stay in the rich area, the corpses are vegetarian, to be honest Frank, I don't know what else they have of value. ”
"They have been spoiled by the good working environment, high benefits and high treatment. They are fundamentally responsible for the duties of a qualified police officer. Are they your soldiers or the pet dogs of the rich? ”
"David is in the rich area." Hearing Brooklyn say this about his police officer, Frank subconsciously retorted.
Brooklyn shrugged
"David's headquarters is responsible for major cases. We're talking about patrol officers, and it's not the same thing. ”
"Without the support of the rich, what will happen to the NYpd?" Frank didn't dwell on the question and asked instead.
He retorted that Brooklyn was purely subconscious, and that it was because of the calf's personality attack, and that he didn't really disagree with Brooklyn.
"If you do that, your finances will be in a worrying position." Winston also expressed concern about the move. The Federal Reserve Board and Harvard University have released the results of a survey on the distribution of federal wealth, and they have made the results into a chart that represents wealth in the form of a bar chart, from left to right, the poorest and richest, in addition to the chart also plots the ideal state of wealth division and the distribution of wealth that people think of as wealth.
Ideally, wealth is flat, lower on the left, but the poor still have plenty of wealth at their disposal, higher on the right, and the highest is about 2-3 times that of the middle, i.e., the middle class.
The distribution of wealth in people's perception is more flat, and the gap between the poor and the middle class is not large, and the middle class has about 2-3 times the wealth of the poor, until the far right, the Qu suddenly rises and reaches the highest point.
The richest people are ten to twenty times as wealthy as the middle class. But according to the findings of the Federal Reserve Board and Harvard University, the distribution of federal wealth is far more exaggerated than people think.
In the actual distribution of wealth, nearly 20 percent of the wealth of the poor on the left is invisible – not visible on the chart.
They may have money, but they probably only have a few cents of pocket money. The wealth of the middle class is also much lower than the perceived wealth segment, only slightly better than the poorest 20 percent, which is slightly better than being visible with a magnifying glass.
Eighty percent of the whole song is too close to the horizontal axis, and the curve is very gentle, and there is hardly much upward trend to be seen.
And in the 20 percent on the far right, the curve rises sharply. By the remaining five percent, the wealth bar chart even pops up directly out of the chart range.
2%-5% of the wealth held by them requires a chart and a half to fit. As for the last, richest one percent.
Their wealth histogram needs to be exploded ten times before it can be loaded. It is said that the wealth of the Federation is unevenly divided, but who knows that one percent of the people in the Federation hold 40 percent of the wealth of the Federation?
Even the next richest 2%-5% have more wealth than the remaining 97% combined!
The results of this survey are public, and have even been published in major financial newspapers, and some general newspapers and magazines have also cited them.
However, there are very few people who actually look at this chart and remember it, or have an impression. So Winston's concern that offending the rich would lead to New York's fiscal collapse is not unfounded.
On the contrary, it is an ironclad fact!
