The villain also has spring

"Wu...Mr. Wu, the TLC committee can give you another special line. It's like Boro taxis. Of course, if you don't like green (does it need to be said!), you can use other colors as a distinction." Listen When Wu Chen said that he wanted to hire 6 veteran taxi drivers, the black chairman unconsciously used honorifics.

Boluo Taxi is the kind of taxi painted green.It is stipulated that it is only allowed to pick up passengers in Upper Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island, which does not include LaGuardia Airport and JFK International Airport in Queens, the two most important source of passengers.

Wu Chen nodded: "The color of the body will be determined later. The rights of free pick-up and drop-off of special lines in the five districts of New York must be fully guaranteed. Therefore, Mr. Chairman, the authority between us and Boluo Taxi is still different."

"I fully understand." The black chairman nodded solemnly: "As long as the origin and destination are Staten Island, your taxi can park passengers anywhere in the five major boroughs of New York."

"That's it." Wu Chen nodded happily.

After reaching a consensus, both parties shook hands and said goodbye with satisfaction.

Of course, as a TLC committee, not only can it collect considerable management fees, but the annual membership fees of the newly joined 6 taxi drivers are also a very considerable income.The most important point is that the number of people and votes are directly linked.The more people, the more votes the TLC committee has (please note), and the votes can not only influence the city's elections, but also directly affect the formulation of many policies and regulations.That's the point.Because, a trade union member can influence the voting tendency of a family and even the surrounding circle of friends.

The reason why the trade unions are so powerful is the result of the pan-democratic electoral system.

Whether pan-democracy is real democracy is a matter of opinion.Wu Chen himself couldn't tell.However, he is clear that the right to vote must echo the right of citizenship.The prerequisite for exercising voting rights at a certain level is that the natural person has a matching sense of citizenship.

This is closely related to education level, development status, and even what camp you are in, etc.

For example, there was a lot of trouble some time ago-the Brexit referendum.

In the hours since Britain voted to leave the European Union, the British people have only begun to ponder a dumbfounding question: What is the EU?

According to statistics from Google Trends (GoogleTrends), after the Brexit referendum, British residents began to ask some of the most basic questions, including: what is the EU and which countries belong to the EU.Google Trends posted on Twitter that "What is the EU?" is the second most asked question by Brits since the referendum result was officially announced.

Despite choosing to leave the EU, British people's search behavior reflects their concerns about the decision, such as frantically searching for "what does it mean to leave the EU?" in addition to searching what is the EU.

Why did you go early?

This is still an old imperialist country, and its citizenship quality ranks among the highest in the world (football hooligans please ignore it automatically).

It is precisely because he hangs on the Internet every day that he knows too much about what he should know and what he should not know. Therefore, in the system structure of the new Hong Kong, Wu Chen did not adopt a pan-democracy with a few heads, but took the skyscraper as the basic unit. Centralized democracy that gathers public opinion at the upper levels.

Just as God the Father practiced and taught by precept and example, he told him the importance of stratification.

Therefore, in his view, civic consciousness is also layered: island citizenship, great power citizenship, imperial citizenship, world citizenship, interstellar citizenship, and so on.

While in New York, he was buying islands, repairing subways, and buying special lines. In fact, he was doing what the mother god taught him: there is nothing difficult in the world like mending the sky (is it deep or not?).

Although Wu Chen's actions made many people worry secretly, there was no way to criticize them.

Are the veterans at fault?

As they say, obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty.They are just sharp weapons. As for how to use them and whether they are used well, it is a matter of the superstructure.Just like the gun control bill that has been delayed.An important argument of the opposition is that there is nothing wrong with guns, but the people who use them.

Moreover, these veterans are hired at a salary that is 10 times higher than the federal basic salary. In a sense, it is also a kind of reward and compensation for them.Because the salary given by Wu Chen has far exceeded the average level of taxi drivers.Not a compliment, or what?

Assuming that the veterans worked eight hours a day, they would earn $580.If they work 20 days a month, their monthly salary will be as high as $11600, which translates to an annual salary of $139200.

The point is, these are after-tax salaries!

In the United States, the average annual income of white (non-Hispanic, mainly Anglo-Saxon) families is about 5.4, and this is before taxes.

According to the current tax rate, if the family's taxable income is less than 16750 US dollars, if the family's taxable income is less than 10 US dollars, this part of the income will be taxed at a tax rate of 373650%.If you earn more than $35, the tax rate on the excess is a horrific [-]% (what's the point? Go see France!).

Therefore, an annual salary of 14 after tax is definitely a very attractive salary.It has surpassed the most popular professions such as dentists, pilots, lawyers, and surgeons.

Moreover, this is only a guaranteed salary.Plus passenger commissions and various benefits.In short, the annual salary of a dedicated veteran taxi driver can easily exceed 20 (after tax).

In the view of Su Yueming, who has always believed that "people's quality plays a decisive role", this is definitely the most reasonable way to spend money.So she was unwilling to spend 126 billion to buy 1 rental licenses.However, she was very happy to let her spend the same price to hire 6 veterans.

The first to express respect to Wu Chen was the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The official name of the Department of Veterans Affairs is: United States Department of Veterans Affairs (United States Department of Veterans Affairs, referred to as: VA).Established in 1989 as a Cabinet department serving America's veterans and their families.Formerly known as the Veterans Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs is the second largest department of the federal government (please note!), with a headquarters staff of 4000 people, second only to the US Department of Defense. There are more than 20 people nationwide, accounting for the entire federal government employees. 1/7 of.There are 50 offices in 58 states of the United States, and the directors of each office are appointed by the minister.As the dispatching agency, each office is responsible for the service of veterans in the area under its jurisdiction.

The work of the Secretary of Veterans Affairs is directly referred to the President.That's why it was signed by various departments in the interior.

It is conceivable how powerful the influence of this department is in all aspects.

The meeting between Wu Chen and the Minister of VA (don't miss it...) was very friendly.When it was confirmed that Wu Chen would hire up to 6 veterans, the minister asked the most critical question.They are not just taxi drivers.

Wu Chen smiled and answered, 100% yes.

The minister stared into Wu Chen's eyes for a long time, then nodded with a smile.

Regarding the hiring of drivers, the Minister suggested that the Ministry of Veterans Affairs and the Veterans Association should jointly formulate the proposal.

Wu Chen asked Fang to know that there are many social organizations for veterans in the United States.One of the more well-known is the Veterans Association.Approved by Congress, the association was established in 1919 and currently has 300 million members and 55 branches in various places.The association's expenses are paid by membership dues.The purpose of the association is to evaluate the quality of the work of the Veterans Office, lobby members of Congress, fight for the benefits and benefits that veterans deserve, and also carry out some mutual aid activities.At present, these non-governmental organizations have a good cooperative relationship with the veterans service agencies of the government, and they play a role of supervision and bridge.

Wu Chen readily accepted the proposal.But he also reserved the right to self-admission.After all, some veterans who could not be recommended due to various reasons, such as physically handicapped or psychologically traumatized, Wu Chen did not intend to reject them.

Speaking of disabled veterans, Wu Chen immediately contacted Tony.

He wants to create mechanical prosthetics for disabled veterans who come to seek employment through his world-leading robotics technology (excluding New Hong Kong, of course).Iron Man immediately agreed.

Therefore, as another meeting point of time and space, New York's resources are too rich.

The design of the taxi has also been completed, and the lunar factory is working hard to manufacture the first prototype.

Another week has passed.Su Yueming has to work very late every day, so Wu Chen is accompanied by Death Girl and others these days.According to the usual practice, the first week is the newcomer protection period for the dead girl.Even Su Yueming must allow enough time for the dead woman to accompany her.Deepen the spiritual connection with Wu Chen, and also push the progress of various gentlemen to hero targets.

With the in-depth involvement of the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Veterans Association, the recruitment of taxi drivers is progressing smoothly.Not only the meritorious veterans in New York, but veterans from all over North America are flocking to New York City.

Unknowingly, there were suddenly many foreign visitors with firm eyes and strong stature in the city.

Without exception, they are all gathering at the recruitment centers set up everywhere.This has also aroused the vigilance of local taxi drivers.

Under the constant urging of the black chairman of the TLC committee, Wu Chen's first prototype was also successfully delivered to New York by the Arc Light Space Station.

"Stebaker?" Seeing this old car logo, Wu Chen couldn't help smiling.

Summit Technologies, founded by Sam Witwich, was originally located in South Bend, 90 miles outside of Chicago.In this small town on the shores of Lake Michigan in northern Indiana, inside an abandoned Steinbaker auto factory.

Although the summit technology company later established itself and built an ultra-modern office building, the nostalgic brother Sam bought the already bankrupt Stebaker automobile factory.Now I heard that Wu Chen was going to build [-] taxis, so he transferred all the shares of Stebeck Automobile Factory to Su Yueming, and Su Yueming re-registered, resurrecting the ancient luxury brand of Stebeck.

Therefore, Su Yueming's Jianneng Group has another automobile company.

Therefore, this taxi full of classic sci-fi style is wearing the Stebaker logo.

"The core system uses a nuclear furnace and electric propulsion similar to that of my dear AE86. The whole body is integrally formed, using superalloys from the Moon Smelter, and the fully transparent aluminum oxide cockpit is remodeled from the single-person escape capsule of the Phoenix. Iron Man III individual power armor, and integrates most of the functions of the Pauling medical cabin. It also integrates environmental collectors, all-terrain radars, quantum communication links, amphibious modes of water, land and air, full energy membrane coverage, and stress-type energy Shield, vehicle intelligence brain, body weapon system, variable armor turret, optical environment camouflage..." Su Yueming unfolded the body structure one by one.

Thanks to the larger body than the AE86, this prototype has more space to integrate powerful survival and combat modules.

Comprehensive evaluation: ★★☆.

The strength of a car is comparable to that of a third-level mutant.And because it is a powerful comprehensive combat platform, it is obviously more suitable for extremely intense and brutal battles than mutants!

Helium-3 energy furnace, lunar superalloy, transparent aluminum oxide, Iron Man power armor... Not to mention these, Su Yueming actually stuffed it into Pauling's medical cabin!That is a powerful medical device that can take out aliens!Not to mention the single-person escape cabin of the Phoenix—it can generate constant temperature, constant pressure, moisture, oxygen, and even has complete life support equipment such as nutrient solution storage, feces collection, etc. Wow!

In a word, no expense spared.

"What's the name of this car?" Wu Chen looked forward to it.

"UJR." Su Yueming raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"What do you mean?" It was obviously an acronym.

"Urban Jungles Rangers." Su Yueming smiled and blinked: "It can also be translated as Urban Jungles Rangers."

"Not bad." Wu Chen nodded happily.

Su Yueming was very satisfied with Wu Chen's reaction, and it's not in vain that my mother has been busy day and night for so long, sleeping every night listening to the chorus of a few little waves.Su Damei smiled and said, "Is there anything else I can add?"

"It's already great. There is really nothing to change..." Wu Chen thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Add the cold sleep function to the rear passenger compartment."

TT40 immediately understood the purpose of doing this: "For passengers in critical situations, such as serious injuries, mutants, emotional breakdowns, and behaviors that are out of control, etc., cryogenic hibernation is performed. This is an excellent protection mechanism."

Su Yueming, who was very secretive, couldn't help sighing: "I have to say, why are you my man?"

Wu Chen smiled modestly and said, "I've watched too many movies and comics... how do you say that? I've read [-] Tang poems by heart, and I can chant poems even if I don't know how to compose them. I've been nurtured for a long time, so I'm sure I'm affected by it. "

"No." Su Yueming shook his head seriously: "It's your pluralistic values. It allows you to look at problems from different angles and draw a more comprehensive conclusion. We only think about protecting drivers, but you think about You must also protect the passengers. This is the glory that the Creator has given you, so don’t lose her.”

"Okay." Wu Chen nodded solemnly.

After the transformation, UJR has been rated as high as three stars.

Obviously, the protection of the passengers in the rear row has won Mr. Zero's approval.In other words, in fact, the star rating of the shelter does not depend entirely on the combat value.

In many cases, protection is also a powerful force.

right?
