According to the current federal social security system itself, its main role is to provide a variety of security for the working class, such as medical security and social pension mechanisms.
But it also locks the working class in the job market. Over a span of thirty years, its actual cost is not much, but its span is too long.
It almost binds workers for their entire lives!
From a certain point of view, this seems to be a good thing, so that workers will not be without support in their old age after working for a lifetime.
Although they may not be rich, at least they will not go hungry or cold.
But this idea, which originally had a good starting point, ended up becoming a prison for the working class.
Once a situation like the Great Depression occurs, and factories close down one after another and workers lose their jobs, they will not be able to pay their insurance premiums on time, and will not be able to enjoy lifelong security.
No one can guarantee that in the thirty years since I started working, the factory will not close down or the economy will not go into recession.
Even an accident could change their future!
But now, assuming a shortened payment deadline, the senator asked a question that Mr. Williams could not answer.
If the working class can obtain lifelong security when they are forty years old after paying enough social security contributions, will they still work as seriously as they do now until retirement?
If they cannot continue to maintain their hard-working spirit and have enough money in their pockets for their families, they will not work.
If you have no money in your pocket and work a part-time job, what will happen to society's production?
This is actually a very serious issue, and it is also the issue that capitalists are most concerned about.
Capitalists know very well that if such a day is born, the initiative on work issues will change hands!
In current federal labor conflicts, the side of capital can always win in the end because workers don’t dare to casually shout “I’m quitting” and then leave!
If they want to get what they want (a lifelong social security system), then they must grit their teeth and continue to suffer silently.
This is also the reason why the initiative now lies in the hands of the capitalists. The entire society only lacks workers, not positions for workers!
But once people become less nervous, the initiative will change hands and be captured by the working class.
At that time, capitalists will have to compete internally. Only by raising the salary standards of positions and improving welfare benefits will there be people working for them.
This is what the capitalists don’t want to see!
You know, there are still many new immigrants in the federation who are willing to work for them at lower wages, if it were not for the federal "Job Security Act" to ensure that each factory must have enough indigenous workers.
Maybe all capitalists will start choosing those cheap new immigrants or Nagali people with labor visas!
This is the ultimate contradiction, a contradiction between offense and defense. This is where the capitalists are uncompromising!
In another room, Mr. Trueman slowly frowned.
Although he cannot appear in that position in person or in the gallery, it does not mean that he does not care or will not come to the scene.
He was in the next room, listening to what was truly "live."
When the senator raised this question, he also fell into deep thought.
He has not considered this issue, or he does not believe that the working class will be separated from production after paying enough social security contributions. This is not in line with the trend of social development.
This is a capital society. The rapid development and changes in the commercial market will not give people much time to relax.
Just like now, even if some people have paid enough social security benefits for thirty years, aren't they still working?
There are even some people who have started enjoying pensions and are still looking for jobs!
Pension can only prevent people from starving to death or freezing to death. It cannot make life better.
But this problem is a bit troublesome.
Because it is a hearing, and because it is a defense, Mr. Williams must answer this question.
Mr. Trueman put himself in that position, and he didn't seem to have a good answer to the senator's question.
He actually knows that this is a challenge from Congress and capitalists, but if he wants to complete this through formal channels, he must first reach a compromise with these people.
Yes, the hearing is, in a sense, a process of compromise.
I make a price (raise a question), you give me your psychological quotation (the process of answering the question), and finally decide whether it is successful (compromise).
It's just that "political transactions" like hearings are more transparent, and the most critical point is that its process and results will be recorded in the eucalyptus!
This is different from verbally reaching an agreement when everyone walks into a secret room. That kind of verbal agreement can be unconditionally broken at any time.
Political hooligans and scoundrels are everywhere in the political arena, and this kind of behavior has no psychological burden on politicians.
I don’t admit that I made a promise, but you say I did, so where is the evidence?
So the stability of this political deal is open to question.
But political transactions in the form of hearings are much more reliable, because there will be records, files, and recordings.
It is impossible for anyone to deny these processes and evidence. Once a compromise is reached at the hearing, it is finalized, and the results of the hearing are announced to the outside world, these things will be completely determined.
It is impossible for anyone to go back on their word, let alone tear up the agreement. After all, these are all documented and documented.
Modifying the labor and social security system is not a trivial matter. It simply requires everyone to sit down and discuss it, and then start solving it. No one dares to do this.
It must be resolved by the hearing, and now, the other party is making an offer, but Mr. Williams, or Mr. Trueman, does not have a good way to deal with it.
The whole hearing seemed a bit... awkward.
This can be understood as the dissatisfaction of Congress and capitalists with Mr. Williams and the president behind him.
On the other hand, it also means that they are not non-negotiable, but they need high-quality compromise, otherwise they will not nod!
The questions that followed were all like this, and Williams couldn't answer them, or the people on the stage didn't give Williams a chance to answer them. In such a dull atmosphere, the hearing ended.
This is only the first, not the last, so Williams can continue to participate in the hearing, answer questions that he is not equipped to answer this time, and then face some new questions.
This is the deal-making and compromise of politics, only it's clearer.
Every step of concession or approach will be clearly shown!
Of course, this is only for the federal government and the top levels of society. The bottom levels of the federal government do not want to talk about whether they know the existence and content of such a hearing.
Even if they knew, they wouldn't see anything from it.
At noon, Lynch and Mr. Trueman came to a popular roadside restaurant off Port Road.
When Mr. Trueman was still a staff member of the President, he came here to do business. He ate here once and never forgot it.
Today happened to be a good day, and he suddenly and inexplicably wanted to come over and review the delicious food here, so he dragged Lin Qi along.
The two of them found a remote corner to sit down. It was actually past lunch time and there weren't that many people there anymore.
Mr. Trueman wore large sunglasses, making him unrecognizable to ordinary people.
Based on the federal people's understanding of politicians, even if Mr. Trueman took off his glasses, many people would not be able to remember who this familiar guy is for a while!
"My mouth is already watering." As soon as Mr. Trueman sat down, he couldn't help but be filled with anticipation, "You will definitely like it!"
"I promise!"
Lynch looked at the other tables and saw that everyone was busy eating. He just responded with "I'm looking forward to it," but it made Mr. Trueman feel a little perfunctory.
It's not that Lynch really looked down on the cooks and their recipes here, it was just that after the group of nobles from Gaevra arrived, they replaced Lynch with cooks whenever they had nothing to do.
They wanted more from Lynch than Lynch needed them, but Lynch was not short of money, and they couldn't give him anything that was particularly important to him. They could only find ways to provide for him in life. He provides some services.
After eating too much of the craftsmanship of aristocratic chefs, Lynch felt that it was difficult to break through the upper limit of his knowledge in terms of taste.
Mr. Trueman was not annoyed by Lynch's perfunctory attitude. He just smiled and said, "You will apologize to me for your attitude!"
After waiting for a few minutes, the food was brought out.
Each person gets two servings.
One portion was dry steamed wheat kernels in a large bowl. It tasted a bit like eating rice, but it was less choking than rice.
On the other side, there is a big bowl...
Lynch took a spoon and stirred it up. It contained soybeans, carrots and the kind of deboned ground beef from the supermarket, the kind that costs ninety-nine cents a pound!
The whole big bowl is filled with these things, and has a thick sauce and a layer of real butter!
As soon as he saw these two things, Lynch took the initiative to apologize to Mr. Trueman.
Who can resist beef soup with wheat kernels?
He poured all the steamed wheat kernels into the beef soup. There was a lot of ingredients. After stirring, every wheat kernel was soaked in the soup, with a glistening layer of butter hanging on the surface!
Simple cooking yet gives ultimate flavor!
This kind of taste is not that delicate and will not give you many taste changes and experiences.
but it will tell you
It's time for you to fucking eat!
Scooping up a large spoonful of soup, soybeans, carrots and stewed beef wrapped in wheat kernels, Lynch couldn't help but take a big bite.
He knew these foods were actually unhealthy and had too much oil, but they tasted so damn good!
That kind of simple and simple satisfaction that fills your mouth is something that steak cannot give you!
