Chapter 549

There must be a bottom line in the communication between people. When Severus and Albus Dumbledore were in contact, it was not clearly established. When Albus "asked" Severus to kill him, Severus Not keeping that bottom line, he agreed to Albus, and later he wanted to regret it, but Albus refused.

At that time, he was completely passive, and what was worse was that he didn't know how to resist. Snape, who looked fierce, was weak in front of Albus Dumbledore, he just didn't know what to do, and this matter He can't tell others yet, and his clumsiness is reflected in this aspect.

While China is accelerating industrialization, Europe and the United States are implementing deindustrialization. The core values ​​of the United States are freedom and democracy. Although the existence of trade unions protects the rights and interests of workers to a certain extent, it has seriously harmed production efficiency.

In short, trade unions will drag down companies. Although the United States is a superpower and the most developed country in the world, this does not mean that the United States does not have poor people and the bottom. Manufacturing could have provided a stable job and income to thousands of people at the bottom.

But corporations are not charities, they exist to make a profit, and they were established to protect workers from sweatshop exploitation. Workers who belong to a union fight for higher wages for their members, workers who do not belong to a union are hired "at will," and unionized workers can only be fired if they are incapable of doing their job. There is no doubt that the American labor unions are powerful. At least so far, they are still the objects that must be fought for in the US general election, including their votes and funds.

Joining a labor union is not free. They not only collect membership fees from workers, but also sign agreements with enterprises to manage members' benefits in a unified manner.

But the trade unions in the United States are degenerating. On the one hand, because the trade unions no longer fully protect the rights and interests of workers, many high-level trade unions regard the trade unions as their political capital, and they themselves gradually become new capitalists; on the other hand, the trade unions actively promote corporate innovation. The role is fading, and the negative role that hinders enterprises from making profits in accordance with their legal person status in the market is on the rise.

In 1886, Chicago workers organized a strike under the leadership of the AFL trade union organization and won the victory of the 8-hour working system. This is the origin of the "May 1st" International Labor Day. However, the struggle program of the American trade unions unequivocally stated "reject all foreign workers", and even listed "Chinese workers" as a single item.

Shouldn't you be working on Labor Day? Why do you still have a holiday?

The Japanese like to work overtime very much, and it is unpaid, which is a violation of labor laws in Europe and the United States. Truck drivers often work overtime, they are an indispensable part of the "capacity", but because the price of crude oil fluctuates too much, their rights and interests are often not guaranteed.

There is a huge difference between the fuel consumption of small family cars and the cost of large commercial trucks. The fronts of those trucks that look cheap are even more expensive than the luxury cars that some ordinary people regard as representing aristocrats. Cars mainly focus on comfort, while trucks are Pay attention to the power of the engine, and the fuel consumption will be different. For ordinary people, the fluctuation of oil price will cause some troubles but it will not be unbearable. Truck drivers are different. They operate "business", and these truck drivers often have no culture. With no survival skills other than driving, the geniuses in Silicon Valley developing self-driving technology will affect their jobs.

Now Silicon Valley has not yet developed it. If they develop it, they will grab the jobs of truck drivers. At that time, truck unions will appear to fight for the rights of "people". The unmanned driving technology invested so much money in the early stage has not brought benefits As a result, shareholders and venture capital companies who bought stocks because they are optimistic about driverless technology will suffer heavy losses. The education system that uses poor information to create a "working class" hinders social development, but allowing the bottom to receive too much education will prevent the top from "ignoring" them. They will know how to defend their rights, such as resisting overtime, Increase income, so that the capitalists who drink human blood will bleed.

Education that does not set a bottom line is to train the working class so that they do not know how to resist when they face oppression, and they are trampled into the mud in the end, just like being buried in the soil after death.

People are not machines, they need to rest, and overtime needs to be resisted, but if you don’t work overtime, the chance of appreciation and salary increase has nothing to do with you, and you may even be fired without reason. The 8-hour working system is won, and you can spend more time resting and learning knowledge, so that You will not be caught in the trap of consumerism by the brainwashing advertisements on TV.

The purpose of advertising is to get people to buy things produced in factories. Most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. No matter how they can consume, they are not as good as the vast "leek" class.

If people stop buying, there will be slow sales. At this time, a strange phenomenon appears. People can make products of good quality, but deliberately make them easy to break. For example, light bulbs must be replaced frequently if they are often broken. Consumers If you don't want to buy it, you have to buy it. There is even a regulation in the industry that if the quality of the light bulb is too good, it will be squeezed out.

Oh, a light bulb that was just changed broke again, consumers couldn't help complaining, and negative emotions increased. This is the same reason that unions want to protect workers' rights and interests, but in the end they have sex with politicians.

People's greed is unlimited, and time is limited. Everyone has 24 hours a day. If you spend your limited time in pursuit of unlimited greed, you will miss many beautiful things in life. When you are dying, you will regret that you didn't Accompany your family, or pursue your youthful dreams.

After graduation, diplomas continue to depreciate. What remains is whether you have the desire to continue learning new knowledge, the perseverance to accept failure and start again, and the ability to withstand pressure calmly. Entrepreneurship is often not successful once. The Weasley brothers were cheated out of all their savings. Although 37 Galleons are not many, they are the only ones they have. Many people will be devastated after losing everything. Having children but trying to get back on their feet, they even skip classes on commodities like sugar, of course skipping classes is not good, but Umbridge's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is a complete waste of time, rather than accepting her class for political purposes Better to sleep.

Doesn't the Ministry of Magic see how ridiculous it is? A little wizard's life was threatened, and he still couldn't use magic to resist, so Harry and Dudley should just stand there and wait to die, because if Harry used magic, it would violate their supreme law.

The bottom line should be flexible, but it cannot be without a bottom line. Just like the Star-Spangled Banner Act in the United States, the national flag is a "solemn" thing, and it is not allowed to be burned or trampled. Ignore, and distort patriotism by linking it with Hitler and the Japanese Communist Party. They are representatives of egoists. The harm caused by these people's power is extremely serious. There is a loophole in the US Constitution to "protect minorities" , the elite controls the Congress, even if the people of the whole country agree to the Flag Protection Law, if the Congress fails to pass it, the constitution cannot be amended. This kind of freedom of speech has no bottom line and no borders, just like Franklin, the founding father of the United States said, the heart of a fool is in his mouth, and the mouth of a wise man is in his heart. Little Henry Shaw just couldn't control his mouth, and finally got into a murderous situation Woe, he is a typical "free speech" American who doesn't know when to "shut up".

In ancient China, the trade on the Silk Road was controlled by the Sogdians. Because of the huge information gap, the price of raw silk increased hundreds of times from the place of origin, and a pound of silk was 12 taels of gold. The Chinese did not know this news. Its unique geographical location monopolized the trade of Chinese silk, which was then sold to Rome by Persian merchants. Justinian wanted to break this trade model and buy cheaper silk, so he united with the Ethiopians, planning to bypass the high-priced monopoly of Persia, go to India to buy Chinese silk from the sea, and then transport it eastward to Rome, so the Silk War Erupted.

After the first Opium War, the Chinese bourgeoisie began to do business with foreign countries. As raw silk producers, the Chinese were restricted by foreign companies. If Hu Xueyan wanted to break the monopoly of foreign companies, he first needed to form a domestic force that could compete with foreign countries. So he bought raw silk to monopolize.

However, what he did was incomprehensible. Domestic businessmen set him up first. Sheng Xuanhuai was because he was in the vortex of the power struggle between Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang. The only ones who lost face were those who wanted to prevent Hu Xueyan from monopolizing. The "game" they and Li Hongzhang saw was different from what Zuo Zongtang and Hu Xueyan saw.

In the Tang Dynasty, the country was not closed to the outside world. Xuanzang not only brought back the scriptures from the West, but also the records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. The arrogant attitude, how different is this from the groveling appearance of officials in the Qing Dynasty.

The seclusion of the country in the Ming and Qing Dynasties caused a serious information gap. Coupled with the illiteracy rate, it was too difficult for ordinary people to understand the relationship between inflation, grain commodity rates, and national security.

It is easy for people to manage sheep, but the difficulty is that people manage people. The common people know what is the right choice and what is wrong. Seeing that the Manchu officials abused money and power, but did not fulfill their obligations to defend the country, the bourgeoisie, Even the later proletariat united and overthrew the feudal bureaucracy.

Shang Yang was the one who unified the Qin Dynasty. His art of weakening the people is that the people are weak and the country is strong, and the country is strong and the people are weak.

Wanting the weak people is to make them tame. If violence cannot be used, other methods can be used. Education can also achieve the goal of the weak people.

What really makes people feel happy is not what you buy, but the "sense of control". You can control it freely when you have money, you can use dollars to light cigarettes, and you can use it to do "education". It is still what ordinary people think of as charity.

But in fact, it is useless for you to just donate money to repair the "architecture" of the school. What is important is the teachers who teach and the textbooks in the hands of the children. At least Pomona did not compare the French Revolution and the Laki eruption linked.

Hogwarts is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and people have to have fun by themselves.

Some people like to read, others like other things. When a man and a woman are together, they will find something to pass the time when they are bored and have nothing to do, and then the child is born.

On the contrary, more newborns are born in remote and backward places. If children represent hope, then there are more hopes in those places.

Franklin also said that despair destroys some people, and pride destroys many more.

Living in the city, she didn't feel like she was in heaven. The buildings in the city are like steel forests, similar to the forests in the countryside. They look beautiful from a distance, but they lose that beauty when they walk in.

Just like the Jews, with the help of divine power, they gained freedom and left Egypt, but after wandering in the wilderness for a long time, they wanted to go back. Unfortunately, it was already too late. They crossed the bottom line of the Egyptians and could not go back to the past.
