Jean Of Bright City 13 - Chapter 2139
“Is this girl drinking tonight?”
Several middle-aged men were sitting in a beverage shop watching the live broadcast. Many people noticed that something was wrong with Le Xiao. Looking at the red face on the screen, Le Xiao was obviously drunk, and it was very different in normal days.
It’s just that a lot of people started talking, and Le Xiao’s speech just now caught many people’s attention. In today’s TV speech, representatives of various non-governmental organizations are attacking the unexpected behavior of the Act. Disadvantages, but no one mentioned the problems of orphanages and nursing homes.
“In the past, the old man in the house next to my house had no children, and his health was not good. He finally sold the house and went to the nursing home. Within a few months, he disappeared.”
Many people have said that it is true that the current living conditions of nursing homes are very bad, and many profitable nursing homes are not necessarily so good. After a large number of elderly people have paid the fees, their quality of life has deteriorated.
In the past, there existed a large number of orphanages for the elderly that used charitable public opinion for fraudulent donations or illegal profit-making. These problems have existed for too many years and no one cares about them.
“Are you really here to speak for these marginalized people?”
Wu Lei looked at Le Xiao with a solemn expression. There were more than 200 people from large and small social and non-governmental organizations below. Many districts also sent congressmen over, including so many people in the city now watching the live broadcast. Wu Lei hurried over. Standing beside Le Xiao, pulling at the corners of her clothes, he pulled to remind Le Xiao.
Now it is full of anger, and many people are already dissatisfied.
“Are you really here to speak out for these disadvantaged groups?”
Le Xiao asked again, and immediately a representative raised his hands and stood up and said.
“Your Excellency Le Xiao, since a long time ago, our social appraisal group has been speaking out for the disadvantaged. We used to be…”
boom
“you shut up.”
The man who stood up was drunk by Le Xiao before he could finish his words.
“I only remember that when I was young, there were many so-called social groups in the street where we lived. Every time they came, they said that they would speak for us. No.”
Le Xiao walked directly off the stage and stood in front of the man. She was still drunk and looked a little shaky.
“Have you seen the streets at the bottom? Have you seen them in the slums? For half a century, the streets have remained the same. Most of the people at the bottom are getting poorer and poorer. What is the population at the bottom of the city?”
The man panicked, Le Xiao asked sharply.
“answer me.”
“About 70%.”
Le Xiao nodded and glanced at these people. She has seen these so-called non-governmental organizations countless times. They have been to the lower level many times. Many of them always bring some food and beautiful clothes every time they go. , However, the same voice as a show has been staged on the ground floor countless times.
“Then I want to ask you, what you call a voice for the disadvantaged, why so many years have passed, but the bottom is getting more and more dilapidated, orphanages and nursing homes are getting worse and worse, including Frye Mental Hospital, I want to ask Everyone, what is the use of you in the city these years, when a bunch of people gather to make speeches and fan the public opinion like a show, what else have you done?”
“Your Excellency Le Xiao, our Southern Business Federation has donated many times over the years…”
“How much did you donate?”
Le Xiao asked, and the man who stood up to speak immediately said vaguely.
“Of course it is a lot.”
Wu Lei quickly turned on a light and shadow screen, and quickly found the official donation data, and then adjusted the news of the donation of the chamber of commerce. This man was also in the news at the time and seemed very happy.
For a while, most people looked at each other, because the recorded data of actual donations was less than one percent of the news boasted, and the chamber of commerce also charges a large amount of membership maintenance fees and other miscellaneous fees every year.
Many of the top members of the membership have served as councillors of the district authority. Most of these non-governmental organizations are more often used as a springboard for many people to become district councillors. Le Xiao knew it at the middle school meeting, so She hates these people very much.
“Do you have the face to speak for the disadvantaged? Of course not everyone is like this. I have also seen many people who speak for the disadvantaged. But over the years, everyone has used these associations as a springboard and gathering place for rights. How much did it actually do?”
Wu Lei quickly used the authority of the General Affairs Section to retrieve information from the 6 Sections. Many groups used the purpose of speaking out, but in fact they were raising capital for the election of members of the group for some people in the group. Le Xiao returned to the desk.
“I’m not here to blame you. I just want to explain a question. Please don’t use lies to gain a reputation for your group. If this continues, no one cares about the actual problems. The reason why I proposed biochemical mechanical transformation The plan is to enable more marginalized elderly people to be able to rely on the elderly.”
Le Xiao’s heart was beating violently. She was completely awake now, and she was just made inexplicable by the problems of the people under the table. In Locke’s office before, Noah was angry when she mentioned these groups. Big.
Because these groups have visited their streets countless times since they were young, and many people have been to their homes. They thought they would really help them, but there was no follow-up. This kind of gave people a little hope, and then disappeared. The guys make it tickle.
Only when Le Xiao grew up did he know that they came to these places just to win the favor of the people in their area and to give them extra points in the election of members.
“I just want to explain one problem. Those elderly people who are helpless in nursing homes, whether they are non-profit or for-profit nursing homes, cannot be ignored at all. They are indeed true. Exist in this city, right beside you and me, and the city has entered an aging society. In another 10 years, there will be one-third of the elderly in the city, and nearly 70% of the elderly will Lost labor.”
Wu Lei directly called up the chart in conjunction with Le Xiao’s speech.
“What will we do in the future? I would like to ask all the young people in front of the screen, as well as the people at the scene, to ask everyone to spend 1 yuan a month for free, can it? 1 yuan can solve many problems, but 1 yuan There is no way to solve the current problems of the elderly and orphans in the city, so what about 100 yuan? 100 yuan is definitely enough. Let everyone spend 100 yuan a month to solve this problem. Can you do it?”
Le Xiao’s question made many people in front of the screen agitated. Many people were unwilling to take out one yuan, let alone 100 yuan.
“Why is it right? A long time ago, Congress allocated part of the tax allocation to marginalized people. However, the city was full of dissatisfaction, because after the money was distributed to marginalized people, everyone in the area Water and electricity subsidies have been reduced, shopping subsidies have been reduced, including some other miscellaneous expenses subsidies have been reduced, and even the maintenance of facilities has become a problem. The most important thing is that the tax deductions for merchants have decreased, so merchants can only increase price.”
Le Xiao pressed his hands on the table and motioned to the staff on the side to give him a glass of water. After drinking, Le Xiao felt much better and became fully awake.
“So what I want to say is, while everyone is accusing this measure, have you ever thought about a problem? Who will take care of those who are unreliable, do you? Or you? Or you? Everyone has his own life. , And when everyone’s lives are disturbed, many people are unhappy. There have been too many protests because of the tax subsidy being given to marginalized groups in the area. Finally, many council members of the district authority are taxing In terms of the distribution, the marginalized groups are not considered, because they are a minority, so most people who have made contributions should enjoy all the benefits in the area, but has everyone considered a problem?”
Le Xiao looked at everyone seriously.
“We also have times when we were helpless in childhood, and there will be days when we get old. This problem is that the city has to solve the burden, but the current monthly taxation simply cannot afford these problems. And do these people deserve it? They are old. Once you’re old, you should find a place to bury yourself, so as not to add any burden to the society. But I’ve said long ago that these old people are the cornerstone of this city, because they are old and useless. Abandon them? Do they deserve to endure such an old and helpless life?”
Le Xiao closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
“When proposing this plan, I never thought of forcing those who did not want to participate. If this plan starts, our 13 subjects will take responsibility and respect the wishes of every elderly person. Under the condition that they have a clear awareness and their consent, they will be biochemically and mechanically modified to allow these old people to return to society.”
The time has passed 4 o’clock, the originally scheduled one-hour televised speech has exceeded, and Le Xiao still has a lot to say.
“There are still a lot of online rumors. This is to prepare for the mechanized era. Then please tell me. If you have a way, you can directly write the plan as a report and submit it to the General Affairs Department. Then I will see if you can solve it. The problem of the elderly and orphans, I will definitely submit the bill to the Congress. I only hope that this problem can be solved completely and surely. Today I just want to explain to you the seriousness of the problem of the elderly and orphans in the cities nowadays, at least for now. We have the ability and time to solve this problem. This is just an attempt, not to prepare for the era of mechanization. I hope everyone understands this. Obviously, the 10th subject has such a technology that can make people who lose their labor and have to wait for death. Old people return to society, why do many people look at this with prejudice, with such and such suspicion? So far today, we will start sending people to some nursing homes today to conduct various opinions The consultation, all the process is public, but I don’t want anyone to misrepresent this matter. Once anyone misrepresents it, our Division 13 will definitely sue him.”
After Le Xiao finished speaking, he bowed solemnly, and then turned and left. The scene was agitated for a while. Many representatives of non-governmental organizations spoke angrily about Le Xiao’s attitude, and Wu Lei smiled and walked quickly. After following out, it can be seen from the expressions of these people that they are only angry because they lose face. They know what is going on in private, they know better than anyone else.
What Wu Lei didn’t expect was that Le Xiao would actually say these things, because these non-governmental organizations in society have been inseparable from the riots in the city over the years.
Most of these groups are urgently combined with businessmen and parliamentarians. After joining these groups, most of them are using the voice for the bottom to obtain their own rights and capital. Such a practice is no longer a day or two. Wu Lei took a look at the light and shadow. Everything on the screen, after a few short hours, the sound changed again.
Many people are saying that these people don’t have a backache when talking while standing. It is impossible for them to support an unrelated old man.
“You really scared me to death, I thought…”
Le Xiao pressed his forehead, blushing and shook his head.
“Never drink again when there is a formal business, I will go to sleep for a while.”
Le Xiao yawned. Although she was awake a lot, she was still too sleepy. She planned to go to bed and eat in the afternoon.
“There are still a lot of things to deal with.”
As Wu Lei spoke, Le Xiao laughed awkwardly.
“Forget it, go and rest. Anyway, it’s a solution to the problem. I’ll do it for you. Get up and take a serious look.”
Le Xiao said thank you for rushing to her room.
As soon as Wu Lei turned around, he saw Michelle and Noah who came over, and they were talking.
“Next time we will prepare more adequately.”
Michelle said as soon as he came over, Wu Lei nodded and Noah was still smiling. He didn’t expect it to be solved so easily. It seems that this girl is very ordinary, but the things she has experienced are ordinary people. What happened, so she instinctively knew how to solve ordinary people’s problems.
“This is a talent. Those of us in the elite class, I am afraid we will never know the solution to ordinary people’s troubles in our entire life.”
At this moment, the news of an on-site report came. The three opened the news channel. It was an interview with a nursing home. More than a dozen elderly people have expressed their willingness to accept mechanical biochemical transformation because they can no longer survive. They have to spend every day in the torment of sickness and hunger. There is no relatives around them, and the money in their hands is almost gone. They don’t want to wait for death anymore.
Noah laughed excitedly.
“I will take people there immediately, and now the breakthrough is open. After a
