Nuke Miko: Chronicles of America

"...That's right. I remember when the Soviet Union disintegrated, how many old pensioners starved to death and froze to death. It seems that nothing major happened."

Akiyama Hui nodded, "...After all, the elderly are the least able to make trouble, not even the strength to march. The same goes for the sick."

"... Doesn't this mean that the old and the sick deserve to die? Where did this come from "Narayama Festival Examination"?

However, Japan seems to be following the example of the United States, using the method of eliminating the elderly to solve the problem of aging. Now that the exchange rate of the yen has plummeted and domestic prices have skyrocketed, Japan’s pensions have not only not increased, but have even been cut. 25%, saying it was to save money for hosting the Olympics.

My grandpa and grandma have been moaning lately, and they pulled out all the flowers and plants in the garden and planted vegetables to save the family a little money. "

Megumi Akiyama's best friend in Japan, who has the brains of a high school student and the body of a primary school student, Yu Asakura, who is only 132 cm tall, suddenly interrupted and said, "...Moreover, Japanese children are also unlucky, my sister told me , Since June, the nutritious lunches in primary schools have been getting worse. Fried chicken and salad dressing have been cancelled, and vegetables have been replaced with bean sprouts. More expensive vegetables such as tomatoes are unaffordable.

It is said that in the future, we may have to use whale meat as the main course of school lunch again, just like our grandparents did..."

"...Whale meat? Do you mean deep-fried whale steak? Well, if there is still whale meat to eat, it's not too bad."

Listening to the recent situation in Japan described by Asakura Yu, and recalling the bad taste of whale meat that was as hard as rubber, Akiyama Megumi's face was a little tangled, "...the worst case is to go back to before the Pacific War and cancel it directly. Nutritious lunch! Let the students take care of their own food!"

"...Ah? Isn't this too cruel?" Asakura Yuu's face changed when he heard the words, but then he sighed again, "...That's right, the cabinet that doesn't do anything about personnel is already cutting pensions, I guess It's not a big deal to cut out the nutritious lunch. After all, Mrs. Thatcher in the United Kingdom did it back then.

Is this social Darwinism of survival of the fittest?It feels reasonable, but I really don’t want to live in such a cruel world.”

(Mrs Thatcher was nicknamed the "Milk Thief" because she canceled the nutritional milk for students, and there was a fierce man behind who made tuition fees sevenfold.)

"...Yes, if we really want to practice social Darwinism, how should those patients who are unable to work live?" Akiyama Hui nodded.

"...It's simple, rely on debt!" The American girl Dolores is very optimistic, "...God will never abandon those who lose their ability to work. Everyone can rely on credit card overdraft to maintain life until he regains Keep your spirits up and muster up your courage...

Ah, this is not what I said, but what those gentlemen on Capitol Hill said!Here, look at this! "

While saying this, she opened a certain web page on her smartphone and handed it over to Megumi Akiyama.

Akiyama Hui took a look at the phone and found that it was an outrageous article that challenged common sense, advocating the theory that borrowing is beneficial.

The content roughly means that the current per capita debt in the United States is less than [-] US dollars. The debt carried by each person is too small, and there is still a lot of room for debt growth.If it can grow to a per capita debt of one million U.S. dollars, if the whole people are "millionaires", it will definitely greatly stimulate economic development and so on.

——This is simply what was done before the U.S. property market crashed in [-]... But even if you drink poison to quench your thirst, you can still quench your thirst for a while after all.

As for the poisoned death?That will be a long time later. Politicians who are short-sighted and can only consider next week's election can't control it so far.

Therefore, in response to the "stagflation" status quo of shrinking consumption, sluggish economy, and soaring prices, Capitol Hill has reached a consensus to allow banks to greatly increase the credit line of personal credit loans. Before, credit cards that could only be overdrafted by $[-] can now be overdrafted Fifty thousand or even a hundred thousand dollars.

At the same time, a variety of family loans will be launched to cover student loans from universities to elementary schools and even kindergartens—of course, tuition fees will also skyrocket.

Looking further, Megumi Akiyama was surprised to find that several banks in the United States were planning to launch a "milk powder loan" for babies!

"...What does it feel like to be in debt from birth? A feeling of winning at the starting line!

National debt equals no debt?What kind of fallacy is this? "

Regarding the "financial national salvation" routine of the United States, Akiyama Hui no longer knows how to complain.

"...What kind of heresy? This is clearly a wise saying, okay? Why do you have to pay back the debt you borrowed on your own merit?"

Dolores shrugged, "...Since the government has never thought of paying off the national debt, why do ordinary people want to pay off the loan? The debt is tens of millions, and they spend their whole life in a cool way, and then write off the debt, Let the banks cry - that's how Americans should live!"

Well, that's true. For Americans who regard Wall Street as the root of all evil, they will never feel guilty about picking up the wool of the bank.

Think about it again, if the government does not provide subsidies to the people and increase their credit lines, then the "retaliatory consumption" that stimulates economic recovery after the end of the epidemic prevention blockade will become a restless poor ghost. I was so angry that I went to the supermarket to buy it for zero yuan...

Where can the economy be revived?It can only be a recovery crime, right?

Although the zero-yuan purchase movement in major cities in the United States is already rampant and flourishing, there is still some order in the market.

If there are really more criminals than law-abiding citizens...the scene is too beautiful to watch.

Instead of this, it's better to let the poor overdraft the future as much as they want, and borrow money to have fun!Bad debts wait until later!

Didn't the financial world operate in the same way during the first mortgage crisis?Sell ​​a house that has been overpriced to a group of people who can't afford it?

As the saying goes, these days, the one who owes the debt is the uncle.

So by analogy, if all Americans owe debts from childhood and don't pay back until they die, wouldn't it be the per capita treatment of masters starting from masters?

In short, Megumi Akiyama feels that under the clutches of Wall Street, American citizens will one day become a financial product from birth.

In the future, the entire country will be completely financialized, and there will be no more people, only securities and stocks that can walk.

In this way, once Vol'jin, the goddess of wealth and trade, comes to this place, she will immediately be ecstatic, right?

Prepare all the items needed for this trip, and the flamboyant pink nanny car of "Playboy" has also been repainted into a rustic green leather car, and a rear seat is installed just in case After the machine gun, Akiyama Hui and his party drove out of Sacramento, the capital of California.

According to the travel strategy I made before departure, Megumi Akiyama plans to take Highway 10 near the US-Mexico border for this eastward trip, starting from California, going east through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, and arriving in Germany first. Take a look at Loris' hometown in Louisiana, then leave Highway 10, go north along the Mississippi River, and visit the main rice producing areas in the United States located in the middle and lower reaches of the Mississippi River.

But the problem is that the terminus of Highway 10 on the west coast is Los Angeles, and Megumi Akiyama has to return to Los Angeles from Sacramento first.

Therefore, Akiyama Megumi recruited a female driver who can drive a bus from Sacramento with a lot of money, and drove everyone to San Francisco first.Here, they met Chen Qiuhan who had been away for a month—although he complained about the rustic appearance of this green leather car, but as soon as he went in and saw the luxurious interior inside, Chen Qiuhan immediately gave a thumbs up, expressing that The caravan is worth buying, and it is far more reliable than a flat-floor pool villa.

"...Nowadays, in the big cities of the United States, ghosts are walking at night and demons are dancing wildly, but the countryside is not necessarily safe everywhere. God knows what disasters will come, and they will have to flee if they don't know when—at this time It’s really important to have a home where you can leave whenever you want.”

Chen Qiuhan sighed with emotion, "...that's why in the game "Tomorrow's Ark", we have to build a mobile city!"

"...Hundred ghosts at night? Demons dancing wildly? Is the situation in San Francisco so bad?" Akiyama Hui asked in surprise.

"...Of course there is! Every day in the black community, zombies are whining and running around, or poisonous bugs who have taken too many drugs are walking in space. Silicon Valley is almost becoming a ghost valley, and every night there are coders and farmers. He ran away from the company with a whimper, followed by all sorts of strange evil spirits..."

Chen Qiuhan poured out the bitterness with a melancholy expression on his face, "... If it's not about me, it's fine, anyway, the unlucky people in this world can't die forever. I don't have that much sympathy. But now I just As a volunteer in the established San Francisco Exorcism Team, I have to worry about it!"

"...Uh? Volunteer?" Akiyama Megumi blinked, "... Shouldn't you be a senior at FSM?"

——As the world's first "Flying Noodle God's Choice", Chen Qiuhan served as "God's Agent" for a few days in the last month, and also represented the Flying Noodle God, forming an alliance with the Fox God and the Cat God... For a while, the scenery is infinite.

But soon, as the number of "Flying Noodles" in the western United States soared to hundreds of people, he, a Chinese, quickly lost his power.

Originally, Megumi Akiyama thought that he should still be able to find a job in the FSM Cult in San Francisco, but unexpectedly, this guy seemed to be more desperate than expected.

"...Hey, I really wanted to get a position in San Francisco's Pasta Church, but several San Francisco local Pasta Gods ganged up and kicked me out, saying that I was neither American nor Don't go to college in San Francisco, so don't take me to play at all!"

Chen Qiuhan replied with a wry smile, "...As for being a volunteer in the San Francisco Exorcism Team, it is because the school specially sent a professor to talk to me, saying that according to the tradition of American universities, every student must use During the holidays, volunteering for a period of time, or volunteering, is the only way to get a passing grade in the graduation assessment. If you lack social welfare and just focus on studying, you cannot be regarded as a good student.

Now that I have received God's favor, I don't need to go to Africa to repair toilets or go to refugee camps to show love, and I can just volunteer as an exorcist in San Francisco!

You see, the school has come directly to me to put pressure on me. If I still want to get a diploma, can I not obey the arrangement?

As a result, now I’m literally San Francisco’s Spider-Man, going out every night with a salt shotgun to fight ghosts…”

"...Uh, you've worked really hard." Akiyama Hui said dryly, a look of sympathy flashed in his eyes.

——What is worse than lying flat and being a salted fish?Of course, it is impossible to get it if you want to lie flat!

"...Actually, it's okay if it's just fighting ghosts. It's a little scary to scare people, but it's not really dangerous."

Chen Qiuhan then broke the news, "...What makes me exhausted even more is that I have to go on a blind date after all of them have arrived in the United States—hey, I'm really tired!"

"...Blind date?" Akiyama Hui could hardly believe his ears for a while, "...Blind date here in the United States?"

"...That's right! My parents are so foolish, but they force me to go on a blind date here in America..."

Chen Qiuhan shook his head and sighed, "...Forget it, don't talk about it, if you talk too much, you will be in tears! I wish you all the best in your trip! Wishes come true!"

He raised his glass to bless and greet Akiyama Hui.

Regrettably, it seems that because of Chen Qiuhan's current bad luck and blessings turned into curses, Akiyama Megumi's next journey did not go smoothly.

In fact, Megumi Akiyama's green leather car had just driven onto Highway 10 and was forced to stop before it could even leave California.

"...a super dust storm in the Mojave Desert? Three car accidents? Is Highway 10 closed in the desert?"

Looking at the traffic jam on the road ahead, and the overwhelming orange-red sandstorm engulfing the road and the small town on the car TV, the scene of catastrophe like the end of the world, Megumi Akiyama and the girls in the car looked at each other and called it bad luck .

After some inquiries and learned that Highway 10 in Arizona would be closed for at least a week, Hui Akiyama had no choice but to order the RV to leave Los Angeles, turn north, and prepare to take Highway 80 eastbound—and this You need to drive back to Sacramento first.

As a result, their car was still driving on California Highway [-] between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and they received another bad news.

"...Chen Qiuhan threw himself into the street, and he failed miserably in fighting ghosts in Silicon Valley last night? So the governor came to me for help?"

Akiyama Megumi curled her lips, but finally decided to go to Silicon Valley for a trip - I can't watch Silicon Valley really become a ghost valley!

Anyway, you have to give the governor a face, don't you?

Chapter 202: The Blind Date of the God of Flying Noodles

San Francisco, 【Cliff House】Western Restaurant

This restaurant is located on a cliff facing the sea in the west of downtown San Francisco, facing the vast Pacific Ocean, and you can enjoy the sea view while dining.

The restaurant in the afternoon is filled with a lazy atmosphere, and the elegant blues saxophone light music, like the whisper of a lover, makes people drowsy.

The "Flying Face" Chen Qiuhan in a suit and leather shoes was sitting at the table, looking at the Chinese student studying abroad who was on a blind date opposite him.

——A truly stunning beauty.

I am one year older than myself, but my snow-white skin is so tender that I don't need concealer at all, and I can hold all lipstick numbers.

The height is more than 175 cm. The standard model has long legs. She has a delicate and cute baby face with a bit of mixed-race features. She is wearing a white shirt and a light blue high-waisted pleated skirt. She has chocolate-colored hair. Great wavy hair.

A string of sparkling gemstone bracelets was worn on the wrist, and as the spoon gently hit the inner wall of the coffee cup, it shone with charming brilliance.

In general, this girl is not only a natural beauty, but also very good at dressing up.

Although she did not study at a famous school, but a certain pheasant university in Hawaii, her own family opened a company in the United States. Flowery is enough... er, maybe?

At the same time, the pretty lady on the opposite side was also looking at Chen Qiuhan with critical eyes.

Well, he has an average appearance, an average build, wears thick myopia glasses, looks not very muscular, and his conversation is a bit dull and boring.

The suits he wears are not cheap, but they are not high-end tailored suits, and the car he drives is just a half-worn Tesla electric car.

I heard that this is an honest man. His family runs a company in China. He should have some money, but he is definitely not a rich man.

And he himself is still studying at a university in the United States, he hasn't graduated yet, and he doesn't feel very good at socializing, a bit like a science and engineering house...

Tsk, looking so-so, let's talk about it!

"...Hey, Xiao Chen, even though we have just met, since we were introduced by our parents through acquaintances, then I will speak frankly."

The young lady said slowly: "...Actually, I personally don't like blind dates, after all, what era is it now?

However, since the elders are so enthusiastic, I have to give them a face.But the blind date, from the very beginning, is about getting married, which is obviously completely different from falling in love, so some things must be agreed in advance.What do you think? "

Chen Qiuhan smiled meaningfully, "...that's fine too. Since you've talked about getting married, let's talk about your conditions."

——Different from free love, the blind date itself has a purpose. Although it is a bit utilitarian to talk about conditions at the beginning, it is not too abrupt.

So, the young lady stopped stirring the coffee with a spoon, stared at Chen Qiuhan's face and said: "...my request is not high, and I haven't decided whether to stay in the United States or return to China to develop, so you have to work in both China and the United States. There is a house, the kind that is bought with full payment, I don't like to pay the mortgage.

The house in the United States has to be a single-family villa in an upper-class community, and it must be the kind that can entertain dozens of guests and hold a party. I am a person who prefers to be lively.

The house bought in China must be in the urban area of ​​Shanghai, not elsewhere - because if I return to China, I will definitely develop in Shanghai.

Of course, the size of the house cannot be small. I like to buy clothes, so I must have a larger cloakroom, and the number of rooms must be sufficient. After all, if I have children in the future, it will definitely not be possible to squeeze together with us, um, and, no Using the old community to make up the numbers, at least it must be a high-rise apartment with an elevator, and it must be a new building that has been built for no more than three years. After marriage, my name must be added to the house book. "

She paused and continued: "... Next is the car. I just saw that you are driving a Tesla. You can make do with it in the United States--there are many natural disasters and man-made disasters in the United States today, and the law and order is very poor. It is not easy to go out in a luxury car." It's too safe, and it's easy to be smashed in the car window, and the car is almost too close to drive.

But in China, you must at least have a luxury car worth more than 100 million RMB, and the brand must be BBA, otherwise it would be shameful to drive it out. "

Having said that, she took a sip from her coffee cup.

And Chen Qiuhan raised his eyebrows, and continued to ask: "...Is there any more?"

"...Also, marriage is a matter for two people. If we are together, I don't want to live with your parents."

Chen Qiuhan heard the words and couldn't help asking: "...don't want to live with my parents? What about your parents?"

"...Of course my parents can come and live! After all, they will only live for a few months at most, and it is impossible to live with us all the time."

She put down the coffee cup, and replied confidently, while Chen Qiuhan pouted helplessly.

"...As for you." The beautiful young lady pondered for a while: "...Although you haven't graduated from college yet, I require you to have an annual income of at least 100 million yuan within one year after graduation, otherwise you will definitely not be able to support me." For such a young lady, to get married, she must be of the right family.

Considering that a man will turn bad if he has money, after you get married, all the money you earn and all the assets under your name will be handed over to me to manage. "

"...Well, what else?" Chen Qiuhan lowered her eyelids.

"...Furthermore, the dowry must also be given. For a family like mine, asking for 500 million yuan shouldn't be too much, right?"

Chen Qiuhan was still noncommittal, with a smile on his face: "...is there any more?"

The beautiful young lady shook her head: "...that's all I can think of for the time being. These are the basic conditions. As for the remaining conditions, we will talk about them in detail after we are sure that we can be together. What do you think?"

"...Well, okay. Then, let me talk about it next."
