Chapter 291

The discussion continued, and Kang Jin-hoo poured out his remarks as if determined.

“I understand the dislike of having a hate facility in my front yard,” she said. However, if it is a landfill or a factory that blows dust, what is the problem with rental housing, dormitories, special schools, and fire stations in the neighborhood? Local selfishness is also a problem, but politicians are the most at fault. In the meantime, there were no proper principles in carrying out work. I made it impossible for the residents to strongly oppose it, and I forcibly pushed on what was not supposed to be done if they did not oppose it. It is also a problem that they provided various support measures to see if they could somehow compromise if they objected. Because of this, if there is a facility that I do not like even a little, I will unconditionally oppose it first. Thinking that it’s not wrong to give one more rice cake to a crying child. But if it’s the right thing to do and it’s necessary, someone must do it.”

Mayor Won Sang-hoon said, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, when the moderator told him to make the last remark.

“Oh, yes. I would like to suggest that the Seoul Metropolitan Government should continue dialogue and communication so that it can solve the youth dormitory problem by collecting the opinions of residents and college students, and that it should advance to a productive conclusion that can be understood by everyone and a great compromise of the people through social consensus.”

Then, Jin-hoo Kang made the last remark while looking at her camera.

“I want to ask the people,” she said. First, is it something college students should avoid? Second, is the dormitory a hate facility? Third, do you think the environment will deteriorate if the dormitory moves into the neighborhood? If not all three, what are you against?”

* * *

The effect of the public discussion was immediately apparent.

In a real-time viewer vote, 77 percent of the respondents said that they should allow the building of the dormitory, more than three times that of not allowing it.

The Seoul bulletin board was flooded with comments criticizing the mayor.

– Mayor Won Sang-hoon was thrown out of the debate for nothing.

– Haha, even my soul was stolen by Kang Jin-hoo.

– Why the hell did you go out there?

-Is that why you go halfway if you stay still?

– I’m sorry ㅜㅜ Our mayor has to prepare for the presidential election.

– Please come to the election. I’ll do a squat exercise ^^

-Huh. never take a picture

-But I still don’t understand, why are the residents against it?

– That’s right, Jinhu Kang. He said he would build a building on his own land with his own money, so why not do it?

-I live in front of Hankuk University, but I am in favor of building a dormitory. I ask other residents to stop opposing for the sake of opposition.

In front of City Hall, renters still flocked to protest.

Mayor Won Sang-hoon wrapped his head with both hands.

‘Why the hell did I do that?’

It’s a complete dilemma.

Jinhoo Kang never made a lie. If the dormitory permit is not received within the set date, the basic science application plan will be completely abolished.

If the 1 trillion won support plan is blown away, it will be recorded as the worst political blot. Competitors will be excited to bite it.

Above all, there is no justification to oppose the construction of the dormitory. If I had made an unreasonable request in conjunction with basic science support, I would have been able to refuse.

However, as he said after Gangjin, I am not asking for an increase in floor area ratio, nor is it asking for preferential treatment. The problem was that the residents did not give permission because the residents objected to the building according to the law in the first place.

In this situation, OTK Company announced a specific basic science support plan.

We are not executing 1 trillion won right away, but 100 billion won first, and 50 billion won every year over the next 20 years. decided to cooperate with

The scientific community did not hide its anticipation.

Professor Homin Kim, who avoided an interview after the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was confirmed, appeared to the press and expressed his position on this matter.

“Science is not a hungry discipline, and it shouldn’t be,” he said. For the development of science in Korea, the problem of students’ housing rights must be resolved first. I earnestly ask that the people also support us on this issue.”

With the exception of some landlords and local residents, the majority of the people supported and supported the construction of the dormitory.

As the public opinion turned upside down, the opposition lawmakers who were conscious of the votes of the local residents quickly withdrew. Only Rep. Ma Sang-tae of the Liberal People’s Party shouts for the establishment of an oriental medicine hospital in the district until the end.

Mayor Won Sang-hoon was in the mood to cry.

‘Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?’

From the beginning, I had no intention of confronting Jin-hoo Kang. It would have been better if Jinhoo Kang pretended to compromise or concede.

She went out for no reason, but she ended up going across the water with something like that.

In the end, the city of Seoul decided to accept all 19 dormitory construction plans a day before the date stated by Kang Jin-hoo.

When the permit was granted, the construction companies that signed the construction contract began construction at once.

When the protests did not go well with the Seoul Metropolitan Government, studio owners and residents went to each ward office to protest. Some city councilors were conscious of their votes and agreed with them, but the mayors worked hard to avoid them.

‘The mayor was robbed like that, so what do we do as the mayor?’

* * *

Although the protests from the residents decreased a bit, the demonstrations by the studio owners continued.

Some block the entrance to the construction site and lie down, or even engage in physical force exercises, but either way, the dormitory construction was carried out as it was.

As expected, when the Seoul Metropolitan Government approved the permit, the permit was also dropped in Gyeonggi Province and other regions, which had been on hold because of the opposition.

We got together with Hyunjoo’s sister to have dinner together.

My mother also came to play with CEO Im Soo-mi. Regardless of their age, the two seem to be getting along like friends.

The mother and President Lim Su-mi were delighted to see the child.

“The kid is really pretty. Our Jinhoo was so cute when we were young.”

Ellie, who was listening, asked.

“Really, mother? Jinhoo was very cute when he was young, wasn’t he?”

“then. Because everyone thought it was a girl. I’ll show you a baby picture later.”

“… … .”

What about my portrait rights?

Taek-gyu looked at his first nephew for a long time as he was curious. From what I can see, the baby is definitely pretty.

His skin is white and his eyes are bright.

“Are you able to raise a child?”

At Taek-gyu’s question, Hyun-joo’s older sister shook her head.

“Don’t talk. I’m crying so much, I couldn’t sleep for hours last night. I always thought that I wanted to have a baby, but I didn’t know that raising a child would be this difficult.”

Even if you have a nanny, you must be concerned.

“When will you return to work?”

“I will return as soon as the maternity leave is over.”

Of course, Hyunjoo noona had no intention of quitting her job. If you quit your job because a talented person like your sister gave birth, that would be a national loss.

In Korea, work and parenting seem to be incompatible issues. However, if you look at the statistics of developed countries, the more women work, the higher the fertility rate is.

Conversely, they avoid giving birth if they are concerned about job insecurity or career interruption due to childbirth. Perhaps because of this, Korea’s fertility rate is the lowest among OECD countries.

Despite the circumstances, the government is telling people to have children first.

When the baby started crying again, Henry ran and held the baby. He is so skillful that he cannot be considered a novice father.

Hyunjoo noona looked at us and said.

“This time, another big thing happened.”

“It’s a big deal. It’s just building a dormitory.”

“If you do anything in Korea, it won’t be a big deal. I must have been insulted again.”

Seeing this question, it seems like you haven’t seen the news or the Internet much. I must have been busy watching the kids.

Taek-gyu patted my shoulder and said.

“Of course. When I search for his name on the portal site, all kinds of swear words come up with related searches. I won’t be able to speak because I’m afraid Geon will be shocked if I hear it.”

“… … .”

I am shocked to hear it too.

After taking over Unsung Trucks, Karos continued to experiment with unmanned trucks.

Logistics trucks that run on a fixed route at a constant speed were the first field to be applied unmanned. Carlos, who had already completed several experiments, went to public demonstrations. The platooning technique, in which five trucks platooned in a row, was astonishing.

If the car in front reacts after the car in front applies the brake or accelerator, the distance narrows or widens. However, if information is transmitted to the vehicle behind when the vehicle in front is moving, the vehicle can slow down or speed up almost at the same time.

The safe distance for platooning is usually about 15 meters, but even in case of sudden operation, it did not widen more than 10 meters, and even if the gap widened, it quickly narrowed again.

The platooning reduces aerodynamic drag and has the effect of reducing fuel consumption by more than 10 percent compared to driving by an experienced truck driver.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The autonomous driving experiment across the Great Lakes was broadcast live through a video site. There was a person sitting in each truck just in case, but they didn’t do anything.

Experiments assuming other cars cut in and various accident situations also passed without any problems.

When the fuel ran out halfway, the trucks entered the rest area side by side. I left immediately after filling up.

After driving 500 miles, the loaded trucks arrived at their destination, a warehouse outside Detroit. Everyone who was waiting was greeted with applause.

Daryl said on the spot.

“The commercialization of driverless trucks will dramatically change the logistics system in the future.”

This has provoked strong arguments for and against in the United States.

[Caros, ushering in the era of driverless cars]

(Strategy) Karos has successfully finished driving a logistics truck.

Caro has issued hundreds of patents on platooning and driverless vehicles, while obtaining temporary driverless licenses in Michigan, where it is headquartered, and Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania included in the Rust Belt, California. and Nevada and New York are pending approval.

Driving on the road without a driver is now a reality. Some people are concerned about car accidents. Such concerns are natural, as there have been several accidents in which the driver was injured or the pedestrian was hit by an error in the autonomous driving technology.

However, the risks of new technologies tend to be exaggerated.

When cars first came out, it felt like a news topic when cars hit people. Even though the wagon caused more accidents.

It is the same now. Countless traffic accidents occur every day. Accidents caused by a human-driven car are treated as insignificant, but accidents caused by autonomous driving become a huge issue.

However, if you look at the statistics, the probability that autonomous driving will cause an accident is less than 5% compared to humans. It is also true that autonomous driving does not drive drunk or drowsy like humans, nor does it do anything else while driving.

The same goes for AI that controls driverless trucks. Unlike other truck drivers, they don’t sleep, they don’t rest, they don’t eat. No pay, no strikes.

If all logistics trucks become unmanned, accidents will be reduced and costs will be reduced. There is no reason why companies won’t welcome it. If the logistics cost is reduced, the product price will also be cheaper, which is welcome from the point of view of consumers. But not everyone is happy.

One of the problems is the job of two million truck drivers in the United States alone. The National Truck Drivers’ Association has already foretold strikes and demonstrations, claiming job security and cancellation of driverless truck driving licenses.

This is just the beginning.

It is clear that driverless vehicles will gradually expand their scope. For those who are forced to drive to and from work, that may be welcome, but for those whose job is to drive, it is not.

After all the truck drivers lose their jobs, who’s next? If you were a taxi driver, a bus driver, or an iver crew, would you still be able to continue your work in 10 years?
