1747 It’s All a Joke
In a country where capital is everywhere, it is impossible to avoid capital!
Perhaps in other places, such as Gaevra and the Pengeo Empire, those in power need to consider whether their influence will arouse the fear of other dignitaries and even the emperor.
This can lead to political strife and even persecution against oneself.
But in the Federation, neither the capitalists nor the politicians have this kind of trouble.
The power of capital has spent hundreds of years shaping the entire society into a society that actively caters to people. It is actually not what people think is fair and just.
Including creation, the way to reflect fairness and justice is through capital. How can it be 100% fair and just?
The only thing people want to do is to expand their influence as much as possible, because in this highly capitalized and highly commodified society, everything can be cashed out!
Including influence!
Being influential means having a political foundation and the ability to realize capital.
There is nothing more intuitive than a wall recording the process of educational reform.
It will be placed at the entrance of the university, not only here, but also in other places.
It will describe the process of education reform from promotion to project establishment and implementation in a story-telling way.
Former President…
Lynch thought for a while and gave him the story of occupying the first painting, then Mr. Trueman, who would occupy two or three, and the rest would be his own.
Of course, he himself will not take up too much of the screen. He will also leave it to some students and some parliamentarians.
It's a great idea, and Lynch even has a rough outline of the story in his mind.
These divergent thoughts were like lightning, appearing in his mind in an instant and disappearing in an instant.
It’s almost to the point where Adelaide and the governor didn’t even notice that Lynch had gone off on a mission and even finished it!
"When will you leave York State?"
Senator Langdon reached out to pour some wine, but Adelaide poured some for him first.
In the past, Adelaide didn't have to look directly at Senator Langdon. He was just an inconspicuous and disobedient little mayor.
He and his family have many ways to make a disobedient mayor lose their political lives.
But not anymore, that's Senator Langdon.
If he attends some local events, he will sit in the middle and most important position, and the mayor and others can only sit in the second seat.
If he is attending a state government event, he will sit next to the governor because he is worth it!
He is a senator, a senator in the upper house of the federal Congress!
"Thank you!" Senator Langdon was very educated. He picked up the wine glass and took another sip. "I remember that the state election in York State ends in July."
The governor nodded, "Yes, but I will start handing over work in about May, maybe a little earlier."
He paused as he spoke, seeming to be thinking about something, and then talked about the reason.
"I could have stayed until the second half of the year. Even if the new governor took office, I would have had a month to deal with the matters in my hands."
"But you should know that Mr. Chairman is retiring."
What he just said in the private phone call between him and the chairman of the committee at the meeting is that as the ruling party of the Progressive Party, it is a big deal for the party chairman to retire.
The Party Committee is not unified within itself, just as the Progressive Party as a whole is not completely unified.
Everyone just hugs each other to keep warm because they have some similar traits. This does not mean that each of them has the same ideas, goals and pursuits.
There are some gaps that are normal, like being chairman of a party committee and being a leader.
They can't be from the same group!
A person who has little weight in the eyes of ordinary people, but actually holds the "power of life and death" from top to bottom within the party.
A word from the chairman of the committee can determine the job changes of those who hold important positions within the party. They can allow leaders to retire early, and they can also promote the people they need to become leaders!
The other one, in the eyes of ordinary people, seems to be the embodiment of the Progressive Party, but in fact he has no power at all!
The so-called "party leader" is more like a flag, a symbol!
He doesn't have any power!
The chairman of the party committee has already selected his successor. This successor is not a person related to him by blood. The senior leaders of the party usually don't attract much attention.
But this guy is a staunch supporter of the short old man and can be regarded as the next generation leader of their faction.
In order to ensure a smooth transition of power, there have been many visible and invisible deals within the Progressive Party recently.
The governor is also part of the deal, his position is contributed, he enters Congress and becomes a senator, and he also needs to support the work of the next successor.
When the short old man talked about these things with him, he would inevitably mention Lynch, who had a good relationship with him, and Senator Langdon.
The old man believed that they were both from York State, and they had an innate connection, so they should be from the same place.
Moreover, when you are talking about one thing with one person, you also know that inadvertently mentioning another or several people who are friends with everyone can increase your persuasiveness a lot.
It's like a salesman trying to sell a new hair dryer in a middle-class neighborhood. If they just said, "I have the latest hair dryer," they would have a door shut.
But if they say, "I just came from your neighbor and she suggested that I sell you a nice hair dryer," then the woman who opens the door might be more curious.
If they say "what is that", then the salesman can basically make a deal.
To establish a connection between strangers, or people who have no relationship, one needs to be "guaranteed" by someone who may not even know what is going on.
Senators Lynch and Landon are very convincing "guarantees."
When the governor said this, Senators Lynch and Langdon nodded, and they could roughly guess the reason.
"That's probably my biggest role, so I'll be here soon."
"To be honest, I am very unfamiliar with Bupen. You know, they always say that we are dictators!"
As he spoke, the four people in the room laughed. This was a joke that only they knew!
The rule of the federation is not vertically ruled by the central government, but is similar to a feudal system. Some people once regarded the current system of the federation as a feudal feudal system, but they put it in a nicer way.
The governor is equivalent to the grand duke, and the state is their principality, and this actually reflects how much power the governor has!
Federal laws are divided into basic laws, federal laws, and local laws.
In addition to the basic law that the entire federation must abide by, if laws and regulations promoted by Congress and the Presidential Palace conflict with the laws of each state.
Then the local legal provisions shall be the final judicial interpretation!
In other words, the federal government announced that starting this year, federal law will no longer restrict people's behavior when peeing, but state law makes it illegal to sing while peeing.
Then during the trial, state law will be referred to as the final interpretation, even if it reaches the Supreme Court of Bupen.
The Supreme Court and lifelong justices are still governed by local laws in developing regions, not federal laws.
So this gives the governor a lot of power, and everyone knows that the state Legislature is a joke...
This is another joke!
When the governors are obviously unwilling to betray the president, they can completely ignore the various legal requirements of the presidential palace and the federal government and do their own thing!
For them, the state is their little kingdom, and the state government is their palace.
Fortunately, governors are elected rather than inherited, otherwise the federation might have become many small states.
Sometimes the media calls local states and their governors who are in conflict with the federal government "dictators" to express their dissatisfaction with local governments' lack of cooperation.
In fact, doing so will only make people laugh at the federal government, not what the governor thinks!
If the state government below can't even handle it, then it's definitely not a state government problem, it's a federal government problem!
Now that the governor is leaving office and coming to Bupen, as one of the "dictators", he will definitely face some difficulties.
Local governments and local laws sometimes slap the federal government and Congress in the face, but of course this is only on rare occasions, which embarrasses Congress.
Now that the governor is joining this group of people, it is inevitable that some people will be unkind to him.
This is a very common thing, and it can also be seen as a kind of "jealousy" of "peers"!
Senators are at the same level as governors, but they have never enjoyed the power that only governors can enjoy!
Real power!
The core of the joke is so secret that most ordinary people probably don't know why they are laughing or what they are laughing at.
But to them, this is just a common joke.
Self-deprecation and using oneself to embody humor are the mainstream expressions of the Federals.
Yes, being a senator is a form of self-deprecation.
This may be another joke!
The atmosphere in the room was good, and Lynch turned to look at Senator Langdon, "The help I can provide you in this regard is pitiful."
"But I believe Senator Langdon can help you a lot. He is very active in Congress and the 'Langdon Gang' is being formed!"
Lynch's words made Senator Langdon couldn't help laughing, and he looked very proud.
Of course, what Lynch said is indeed true. Some people are indeed using the term "Langdon Gang" to describe him and those around him!
But the important thing to note here is that those around him are not talking about the senators.
Each senator can independently form a small circle with himself as the core. Here we are talking about the congressmen surrounding Senator Langdon!
