Manhattan Reborn 1978
Chapter 7 Fiction and Reality
The three of them laughed and laughed for a while. After Tangtang washed up, had breakfast and left.
Black Mike goes to bed while David tidies his room.
He was going to buy some newspapers first and see what recent news could make his plan more perfect.
At the newsstand on Fifth Avenue, David bought seven or eight newspapers.When I came to the restaurant in Marseille, I found an empty seat and sat down, then looked through it carefully.
There are various advertisements in every newspaper.
The headlines on the front pages of several newspapers and the news in the economic pages caught David's attention.
"Washington Post" The United States is still in a period of economic stagnation.Inflation is severe, prices are soaring, factories are operating at less than half capacity, and workers are idle.The proportion of unemployed people has not decreased.
All kinds of agricultural products are seriously unsaleable. Apples are rotting on the trees, potatoes are rotting in the fields, and some ranchers in Pennsylvania have dumped milk into the sewers.
The crime rate in some cities and regions has been on a straight-line rise in the first half of this year, exceeding the highest value during the Great Depression in the late 20s!
After President Warren White took office in January last year, several government initiatives in the past year and a half were considered by economic experts and commentators to have done nothing to solve these problems.
They also turned on the money printing press, printed money like crazy, and proposed giving hundreds of dollars to each of the poor. Once everyone has money to spend, the economy will recover.Such bullshit proposals will only make inflation more intense and undermine the normal development of the domestic market. . . .Barabara. . .
This newspaper interviewed President White based on these questions.
The president said: “The current relief food cannot meet the needs of the poor. Moreover, these foods have been distributed for more than a year, making the government’s already small budget even more stretched.
These relief foods themselves also have many problems, such as their unscientific formulas, shoddy ingredients, and weight shortages, etc. There are many shortcomings that people criticize.
So why don’t we give up handing out relief food and instead send money directly into people’s hands?This way they can buy food that better suits their personal tastes.
I have submitted the proposal to increase the standard of unemployment benefits to Congress, and Congress will review and vote on this proposal next week.I'm sure this will definitely make more. .Barabara. . . "
The export trade volume in the first half of this year was only 76% of last year.The import trade volume increased by 34% compared with the same period last year.The trade deficit is getting worse. . . .Barabara. . .
According to the latest poll results, President White's public approval rating has dropped by 18%, and his approval rating is now only 34%.
Um.Economic depression! . .Capitalists still have money!
However, they will still reduce labor costs during production and squeeze their labor income.
The poor have no money and no way to survive, so they can only grit their teeth and endure exploitation and oppression.
As for distributing money, raising the standard of relief funds, and stimulating consumption?
Doesn't this make inflation worse?Tsk tsk. . . .
This is good, it just fits in with my plan. . .This message is very useful.
But David had no impression of this president.It seems that this president did not appear in his past life memory.Is this a subtle change in the parallel world?
The New York Post reported that in April, demonstrations across Iran continued to escalate, with crowds carrying portraits of religious leader Tagmeni and chanting slogans such as "Down with the king and establish a country."
Just this month, King Pahlavi changed his cabinet the day before yesterday, announced the imposition of military control on 12 major cities including the capital Tehran, and dispatched a large number of military and police to suppress opponents.
In Tehran, tens of thousands of demonstrators were killed, and the accumulated dissatisfaction among the people was about to reach its peak. . .Barabara. .
David murmured in his heart, is Iran still a monarchy?In my memory, during the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, Iran became a country. . .some of?
Um. . . .I have never learned this history. . . .My mind goes blank. . .
This is a big event and you can focus on it. . . .Judging from the attitude in this newspaper, people here in the United States are just watching the excitement and are not afraid of big troubles.
But if this country really got into trouble, it would later launch a war that claimed to cause the world oil crisis.Then these people watching the excitement are not good to watch. . . .
A news report from the New York Times stated that Mayor Lynch Colson took office last year.A new department was formed within its own city hall office system.This will be used to promote a new economic development strategy for Manhattan.
Show the mayor's determination to change the current situation of public security and reform development in Manhattan! . . .Barabara. .
In recent days, I have spoken with several Manhattan police chiefs.They were asked to intensify their efforts to control the security issues in Manhattan at night and propose a street cleanup plan.
Commit to reducing crime rates and contribute to a peaceful and safe life for citizens. .Barabara. . .
Seeing this news, David thought of the women wandering the streets at night.
If the police come for real, life will be difficult for them.No one can stand having trouble with the police at work.
But this happened to coincide with his plan, so give Lynch a thumbs up.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Japan’s Sony Group after it listed on the U.S. stock market.
Sony Group's sales of video recorders, camcorders, and audio recorders saw new growth in the first half of this year.Sony's market value is also rising, and its current valuation is more than six times its listing price in 1971. . .
Sony's new era electronic products have completely changed the production model of movies, TV series and music songs, bringing new changes and surprises to people's work and lifestyle. . .Barabara. .
However, so far this year, Sony's plan to reduce the prices of older video recorders and audio recorders mentioned last year has still not been implemented.It is reported that the continued rise in raw materials has led to an increase in the overall cost of the industry.
Another reporter from this newspaper sent back a report in Tokyo.Sony Group just concluded its financial meeting for the first half of the year the day before yesterday, in which it was approved at the meeting to increase dividends to shareholders and increase wages and incentives for employees.
.Whether this is related to rising costs for their companies is unknown. . .
David thought to himself that these Japanese consortiums have not yet started to act arrogantly in front of their American father.If in a few years, the U.S. economy continues to be weak and the pockets are bulging, they should shout the slogan "We want to buy the whole world"!
However, in the past few years in my memory, and even in the next few years, Japan's economy has really been rising like a rocket, which makes my father in the United States jealous.
So after the book started popping up, the American father came to it with the "Plaza Accord" in 1986, completely defeating it. . .It has not recovered until the past 20 years in the new century. . . .
After seeing the major events, David began to pay attention to some news from other newspapers.
"New Jersey Times" - This news is reprinted from the "Los Angeles Times": Just yesterday, the famous Los Angeles tycoon Mr. Piro Jan Cherov celebrated his 55th birthday. He held a grand birthday in his villa in Beverly Hills. Dinner.
The night was filled with stars, including famous actors Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, who all came to express their congratulations and respect.
The famous actress Diane Yullington's beautiful evening dress set off her stunning appearance, making her even more radiant!Outstanding beauty.Barabara. . .
This report. . .Are you sure it's positive?
David, who has experienced the information explosion and public opinion bombardment in later generations, can see that this Diane Yuerington is [-]% having an affair with that Mr. Pirro.
And Mr. Pirro must be the major shareholder of this newspaper. . .Just a birthday dinner. .Mr. Pirro must be very comfortable with this flattery.
A reporter from the "Philadelphia Daily News" reported yesterday that after farmers took to the streets in Philadelphia for nearly 20 days, the Teamsters Union also organized a demonstration in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's largest industrial city.
They called on the government to quickly solve the problem of low freight rates and arrears in the transportation industry due to unsaleable agricultural products, shutdown of steel plants, shutdown of coal mines, etc.
At this time, the price of oil is rising, and the state government has not provided any corresponding measures such as tax exemptions and subsidies. More than half of the vehicles can only be parked there and eat dirt.
Truckers need to eat!Nothing wrong!The stagnation of the transportation industry also means insufficient hematopoietic function. For the current US economy, this is not a sign of stagflation but of recession.
The New York Times reporter reported that a scandal occurred at Shawshank Prison in Maine in 1975. Andrew Devereign, a former Portland-area banker, was sentenced to life in prison for killing his wife.
While he was serving his sentence, the prison warden coerced and lured him, forcing him to act as a tool to cover up the prison warden's bribery, corruption, money laundering and other financial crimes. . .
Andrew Devereign successfully escaped from prison in 1975, when he was serving his 40th year in prison, and reported the evidence he kept privately about the prison warden's crimes to the Portland Daily News.
After learning about his incident, the prison warden committed suicide in his office out of fear of guilt.
The guard captain was sentenced to 50 years in prison on multiple charges.
The new warden submitted an application to the state government to transform the architectural layout and living environment of the prison area and improve the living and working conditions of prisoners, and the state government approved the application.
At present, the prison building renovation work has been successfully completed and put into use. The new prison area is more solid and reliable.Jailbreaking will never happen again. . . .Barabara. . .
David's eyes widened when he saw the news. . .This is The Shawshank Redemption! ! ! !
Shaking his head vigorously, blinking, he read the report again.
That’s right!It's Andy!It is the name of the protagonist of the movie that is ranked No. 1 on domestic websites all year round.The plots are all the same!
He put down the newspaper with some trembling, put his hands on the table and looked up.
Looking at the people chatting around, the busy chef boiled the steaming coffee pot.
This news made him doubt the reality. . .
Um. . .Virtual reality technology shouldn’t be that realistic!
Is it some source code program developed by the US military and neurotic scientists?
Did the system issue a mission for me to save the world?
Or am I a battery person in the parent program of Maxx?
If I mess around, will an anti-virus software kill me?
Or am I the miserable guinea pig in some mysterious alien experiment?
David controlled his hand, picked up the coffee and drank it.Coffee with milk and sugar tastes great!
After taking a few deep breaths, I came to the restaurant bar and found Marseille.Asked in as calm a tone as possible: "Where should I go to find some old newspapers?"
"I have some newspapers here left by guests, but if you need newspapers from long ago, you need to go to the public library and look at them. They should be there."
"Thank you! Marseille!" David turned around and left after getting the answer.
Marseille looked at David's back with some confusion.
Then he ignored it and continued his work. . .
The New York Public Library is very close.
After David entered the door, he went directly to the administrator and asked where old newspapers from previous issues could be found in that area.
After getting the guidance and finding the place, I started searching year after year.
Finally, in a pile of old newspapers, I found the news about Andy's escape from prison in 75.
This report is more detailed, including how Andy actively sought evidence to overturn his case while serving his sentence in prison. As a result, he was persecuted by the warden and the captain of the guard, and framed and killed an important person who could testify for Andy to overturn the case. witness.
Later, Andy escaped from prison and reported a series of materials he had saved to the Portland Daily News, making these crimes public!
David rummaged carefully and found no news about Andy's good friend Red being released from prison and violating parole and escaping, nor was there any notice of his wanted status.
It is estimated that no one cares about such a trivial matter and digests it internally.
Putting down the newspaper, David pinched himself hard with his hand.
pain. . . .It hurts. . .
He tried biting his tongue again. . .
I'm not dreaming, I'm awake. . .
That's why the world is crazy. . . .
Where is my top?
