The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 1059 Shocking the World (Thirty-Four)

He's right, no Schiller can care less...

Schiller raised his head and muttered to himself, then leaned down and coughed a few times, then turned to Eddie and said, Ahem, my current situation...is caused by continuous traumatic stress obstacle……

I'm a person... who can't live in the society of ordinary people, and that will remind me all the time that I don't fit in with them... What many people expected me to do, I didn't do it...

Schiller narrowed his eyes, his eyes became a little sleepy, he felt a dull pain in the side of his neck, but there was no wound there, the real wound existed in his soul.

Every Schiller will share equally the disease and trauma suffered by Schiller, no one can escape, and if you actively tear the wound and make it bleed, it is impossible not to bear the corresponding price.

A simple withdrawal reaction would not make him fall into such a state of confusion. The culprit is still the wound he made himself in order to paralyze the superego and attack Moonlight Schiller.

The emotional withdrawal reaction, and the traumatic stress reaction brought about by the previous psychological shadow, are constantly alternating, which makes Schiller seem to lose the ability to take care of himself.

But Eddie focused on Schiller's hand. As a reporter, observing the opponent's movements and demeanor has almost become his occupational disease.

Eddie saw Schiller clutching his neck and thought he had a stiff neck. After all, he slept on the table last night.

But then, Eddie discovered that Schiller's movements didn't seem to be rubbing his neck, but more like pressing hard, as if to stop the bleeding from the wound.

But Schiller didn't have any wounds on the side of his neck. Eddie recalled some of the theories he had read, and he suspected that Schiller might have been injured before, which resulted in phantom pain symptoms.

That being the case, Eddie felt that he couldn't force Schiller. After all, if the doctor's condition is not good and he goes to see a patient, it will only harm others and himself.

Eddie sighed and stood up, intending to go in to see Brod's situation, but at this time, Schiller also stood up with some effort, passed him, and walked into the room first.

Eddie grabbed him from behind and said, What are you doing? If you really feel bad, I'll send you back first...

Schiller shook his head, stood in the shadow of the corner of the cramped bungalow and said, I heard what you said before...you said you wanted to stay here and record the stories of ordinary people in the changing times...

When I was feeling bad, you gave me a cigarette and let me live in your house, so we are friends. Schiller coughed twice, sniffed hard, and used a hoarse voice The voice said, I'd love to help a friend, can I have a pen and a piece of paper?

Eddie looked at Schiller's face, and found that he seemed to have recovered a lot, his eyes were no longer so dull, and his expression was confused. Eddie didn't know where this change came from, but since Schiller can help solve the trouble, that's great but.

So Eddie went to Bob and got from him one of his daughter's drawing pencils and a piece of drawing paper with a back full of scribbles.

When Bob handed these things out, he looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, I'm really sorry, we don't have any good things here...

Eddie waved to him and said, When a psychiatrist sees a doctor, he doesn't like other people present. Let's go out and talk? Or, if your daughter is not afraid, can I talk to her?

Bob stretched his neck and glanced towards the back of the house, and then said, Oh, she's not shy, she's quite lively, but she just took the medicine I brought back, and she's asleep now.

The two came as they walked, and sat down on the threshold of the bungalow. Bob took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Eddie. While smoking, they chatted about the recent situation of the unemployed.

There are not many people like Brod and I. You must know that the transportation capacity of shuttles and air trains is too strong, even better than driving by yourself. We all know how congested the city center of New York used to be. People want to drive, but they also have the will to do so.”

Even if you can afford a car, insurance, and regular maintenance, you can't change the situation of traffic jams during peak hours anyway.

Before my wife and I were divorced, we were a typical middle class, we would go grocery shopping, pick up and drop off our kids, drop them off at activity centers, and go outdoors in the suburbs on weekends.

Being stuck in traffic for three hours on the way to any event, we're going to be pretty pissed off, my wife and I are fine, Dennis... oh, that's my oldest son, he's always in the car crying.

Bob showed a very helpless look. He said: His mother is a very strict person. She always has a lot of complaints about life and education. Every time Dennis loses patience, my wife will yell at him. I hope she Be sensible and communicate with your children...

I admit that at that time, she was also under a lot of pressure. Dennis didn't go well when she came down. After she suffered a lot of pain, she didn't recover well. A doctor told us that she had postpartum depression. syndrome, but we don’t quite understand…”

Excuse me, let's talk about the flying shuttle. The biggest advantage of these two means of transportation in the sky is that they can avoid traffic jams.

You don't need to drive, and you don't need to be stuck on the road for two or three hours. You only need to get a traffic card, and you can go home twice as fast as the highest speed in the city. Who wouldn't do that? What to do?

Perhaps, some middle-aged people with families like me need the trunk of the car to carry some things, but those young people who are often active in the bustling business district or financial center do not have as much burden as we do. They like this kind of public transportation.

Eddie nodded and said, Indeed, I'm not married and have no children. If it were me, I'd choose the shuttle too. After all, if I go home earlier, I can finish other tasks earlier and have my own time earlier. It's important for young people to...

And. The impact is far more than that...

Eddie continued to speculate: Using my example, originally, I worked at the Global Times, and I had to rent a house closer to the headquarters of the Global Times. It is impossible for me to rent a house in the suburbs and commute more than 5 Hours, that's too late.

But now, the shuttle has reached the suburbs of New York. Under the condition of no traffic congestion and full capacity, it can take less than 40 minutes to go from the suburbs to the city center. That is to say, it takes more than an hour to go back and forth twice a day. , which is completely within the acceptable range of many people.”

Then, these young people who are not well-off can rent houses farther away, which will boost the economy of some outlying suburbs, but also may lead to the decline of some urban settlements.

And these areas have declined, and people who rely on the shops or businesses in these areas will lose their jobs, and these traffic lines flying in the sky cannot provide them with new jobs.

That's what I mean, Bob nodded and said: Yes, I know. The robots made by the Stark Group are very advanced, they are simply too advanced...

But all the shuttles and trains don't need conductors, don't need dispatchers, don't need security personnel, so what are these people who are unemployed because of these new lines of transportation going to do? What else can we do?

When talking about this, Bob turned his head and glanced at Brod in the room and continued: Browd's condition is worse than mine, he is a driver of a private bus transportation company, besides driving a bus, Almost nothing.

Although, I have a daughter to raise, but she is relatively young now, and the investment in education is very low, but Brod is different. His son is studying at New York University. Although the tuition fee is a loan, and the living expenses can also be earned by working, but always It's very tight.

You are a gold medal reporter in New York. You should also know that New York has a high level of consumption and a lot of rich people. Last time, Brod's son complained when he came back, saying that someone laughed at his shoes. fell off...

I know. That child is not vain. If it gets to the point where it looks sloppy and unseemly, it's normal to complain a few words.

Eddie also looked back at the situation in the room. He found that Schiller was writing with a piece of paper, as if he was about to write a prescription. He breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Bob and asked, His son is studying in college? ?What professional?

Fourth year of communication engineering. Bob shook his head and said with a sad expression: Brod committed suicide because his son called before and said that he hoped that his father could participate in his graduation. ceremony.

However, Brod's only suit. It was stained before, and he didn't have the money to take it to the dry cleaners. He couldn't wear tattered overalls to his son's graduation ceremony...

I said I could lend him money, but he felt that the money should be reserved for my daughter to buy medicine. After all, his son is already able to take care of himself, and it's okay to lose him, but if my daughter loses me, she will live. I can't go down.

Eddie sighed and said, So what are you two doing now?

We are all doing odd jobs. Bob rubbed his fingers and said, Brod is relatively strong, and he works as a tally clerk in the supermarket at the end of this street area. I occasionally go to the cash register and settle accounts, and my life is not bad. .”

But we all know that this kind of life can't last long. Bob lowered his head and hunched his body, wiped the surface of his shoes with his hands and said, The owner of the supermarket plans to move his supermarket to a distance from the shuttle. A place closer to the site can also do some snack business, and then we won’t be able to work there.”

It is estimated that by then, Brod can still go to the gangster as a thug, and me? No gangster will want me...

Hearing this, Eddie suddenly realized a very serious problem. What is the next step in the development of a large number of unemployed people? That's right, gangsters.

All periods of rampant gangsters in history are inseparable from the unemployment wave, which will provide a large number of high-quality talents for the gangsters. It is conceivable that Hell's Kitchen will become more and more prosperous in the future.

But Eddie didn't believe that Stark would not have thought of this. Although he didn't hear that Stark had any educational background in sociology and economics, his professional staff team would definitely consider all aspects.

Moreover, even if you don't have a professional education background, you should be able to imagine that the replacement of human labor by robots will definitely cause a large number of unemployment, which will cause the social structure to shake and become unstable. Then, how do the people who draw up the plan plan to deal with these problems? ?

Thinking of the person who made the plan, Eddie turned around involuntarily, and set his sights on Schiller.
