Chapter 3814
Chapter 237 slum
Los Angeles does not lack a place to hide, because many of the outsiders have a slum in the bustling and prosperous city.
The living conditions of the residents in the slums are not as good as those in some poor counties in China.
Experts from the World Bank have come to the conclusion that the fastest growing income of the US Empire in these decades is still the population of 1% who originally had money, while the population of the poorest 5% has no change in income. .
The median income of the rich has been greatly improved in recent decades, and the serious imbalance has become more apparent. Eight percent of the world’s people have received 50% of global income. Obviously, most people All are eight percent outside…
Eight percent of them are of course elites from all over the world, financial and corporate executives from rich countries, and a large number of emerging middle classes in countries such as China, India and Brazil.
People living in parts of Africa and Latin America, as well as in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, have not had much income changes in these decades.
These people in the poor neighborhoods of developed countries have not changed at all!
The US Empire is actually a negative textbook. In many respects, the US Empire often leads the world, allowing other countries to follow his footsteps. If other countries also copy the imitation of the US Empire, the future situation is actually not optimistic.
The growing income and wealth gap of the US Empire represents the situation in the Western world, a trend that began to become more prevalent in the late 1980s! The majority of the most advanced economies have earned more per cent of the highest-income people, while the 20% of the lowest-ranking population has fallen behind!
The slums of developed countries are the best proof of reality.
Xu Yun drove to find the slums of the US Empire. These places were easy to find. After driving the car at a very fast speed for ten minutes, he saw a sign in a block.
The sign reads: You dare – seize the opportunity, follow the dream, risk, love, believe in yourself, ask questions, let go, make mistakes, come back, tell the truth, be responsible, find happiness, live in the moment -?
This is obviously something that will only be found in the poor neighborhoods of Los Angeles. The rich areas do not need this poisonous “spirit chicken soup” at all.
Among the global advanced economies, the US Empire has experienced the most extreme income and opportunity differences, which have had fatal consequences in the macroeconomic field.
It is blunt to say that in the past 40 years, the gross domestic product of the US Empire has more than quadrupled, and in the past two decades, it has nearly doubled!
However, it is now well known that the benefits are attributed to the highest income group, and that this interest is increasingly concentrated in the richest people in the highest income group! The poor were poor people 40 years ago, and they are still poor now!
The income inequality of the US empire has been gradually increasing, accompanied by the tax cuts of the rich and the relaxation of supervision of financial institutions.
This is no coincidence! This inequality has intensified with the reduction of investment in infrastructure, education, health care and social security networks. Increasing inequality has eroded the political system and democratic governance of the US imperialism, which in turn has intensified inequality.
Los Angeles’s slums can be found everywhere in the rubbish to find food. You can see the tramp lying in the sun. You can use the small cart to push all the poor people. The slogan “God loves you” can be seen everywhere. Because this seems to be their only spiritual food…
The various remedies of the US empire are not lacking, but these people can only receive a bite of food to fill their stomachs.
Xu Yun drove the car into a slum neighborhood, and the legend of the car sat up in horror: “Why are we coming to this place! It’s a slum! It’s dangerous! It’s very unsafe!”
“Because it is not safe, it is easier for the police to ‘missed’ this place.” Xu Yun indifferently said, of course he knows how insecure this place is.
“You don’t understand the slums of the US Empire!” The legend blinked. “There are only a variety of drug dealers here! Pimps! Women who sell meat! There is only dirty and chaotic! Only murder and robbery!”
It is a black slum in western Los Angeles and is also called a rogue area by locals. It is not far from the lively city centre.
Just as the legend expressed concern about this, several black figures appeared in front of the car, and they came directly to the car, and there was no intention to escape.
Lin Ge indifferently said: “Five blacks.”
“This kind of blatant roadblocking robbery is really awkward…” Xu Yun shook his head very helplessly. Such a big car dared to stop. I can imagine that if they came across a car, these people might not dare directly Just rushed up.
When Xu Yun stopped, the blacks who stopped the car began to beat the body crazy!
These people didn’t converge at all after Xu Yun’s car was stopped. It seems that they didn’t get some benefits from them and they didn’t plan to leave.
The legend scared to a huddle, and Xu Yun knew that coming to such a neighborhood would give the legend a lot of fear, and now he wouldn’t agree if he got off the bus.
Xu Yun and Lin Ge stood up and opened the door, and Xu Yun smelled a sour smell in the air.
Because the streets on this side are almost all rubbish, the road is full of solidified gasoline, and even groups of crushed cockroaches, directly exposed to the air.
Xu Yun suddenly remembered that when he was performing his duties in Detroit, it was such a street, and it was so smelly, then a truck suddenly drove at the intersection and stopped at a group of black people.
The black people around them all looked around, and the people on the truck threw a lot of clothes from the trucks, all old, and they all had a stench.
Xu Yun knows that these clothes are handled from hospitals or crematoriums. But the people who get the clothes will still be very happy. They even wear them on their own bodies even if they don’t wash them…
These people have no shelter at all, no work, so these people will not be disgusted, as long as they are incompetent, they will not receive the slightest hesitation.
They have no ideals, no ambitions, no goals, only one idea is to live.
There are many black groups in the US Empire, but how many can be sports stars? How many people hold basketball from an early age, but the US basketball team needs more than just physical fitness and ball feel, but also needs basketball IQ.
Unceremoniously, there are many people who play basketball in the US Empire. There is no such thing as a single-handedly qualified American superstar. But the IQ is not enough. After all, basketball is not a bullfight. It is a team sport of five people.
Also in other sports, football, baseball, ice hockey…
All in all, although the sports path is extensive, there are still very few people who want to excel.
In addition to playing sports, their other way out is film and music. The innate talent of black people is also very powerful. Their music is very strong. Even people without any music foundation can rely on innate talent. The music feels the record.
Those singer songs have made a lot of black singers, and the grandfather who has won the tide brand is such a genius. He can make the so-called rap routine become rich and competitive, but this kind of person is also very few.
So most blacks still live in poverty. The five guys standing in front of Xu Yun are, how bad their lives are, perhaps what Xu Yun and Lin Ge can’t imagine.
“Hey, man, what do you want to do.” Xu Yun stepped on the huge pickup pedal and picked up the brow to the five humanities in front of him.
The five black people saw that they were Chinese, and they were unceremoniously pulling out the spring knives hidden in their bodies: “Let’s talk nonsense! Take out all the cash from you!”
“Whether this is the age, who still uses cash.” Lin Ge sneered at the back with a smile: “We have been playing mobile phones this year, have WeChat? Send a red envelope to you, Alipay also, transfer For you. We don’t have cash.”
The other party could not understand what Lin Ge said, thinking that he laughed at them and immediately turned his face: “I believe you will kill you now!”
