Reborn Sells Instant Noodles In America

Chapter 392: You store food, I store guns

In fact, since the so-called flu in 2019, COVID-19 has already begun to spread in the United States. In just one month from March to the beginning of April, 21 million people in the United States applied for unemployment benefits, and the unemployment rate reached 32%. want more.

In order to save the market and stimulate the economy, the U.S. authorities not only issued bailouts to the common people, but also allowed the unemployed to apply for unemployment benefits, small business assistance and so on.

Although the federal authorities issued a bailout of $1,200 per person to all registered people (with tax filing status). But people still feel that it is not enough.

Because rents in most areas of the United States are too high, the relief money received by ordinary people is not enough for half of their rents, not to mention the monthly living expenses of the unemployed.

Nearly a third of renters were unable to pay their April rent due to the outbreak.

Lin Zidan's low-rent apartments in Manhattan's West Side, rental apartments in the East Bronx, other leasable properties, and all the shops were less than 1% of the rent due April 1 to April 10. The client paid the rent on time.

And most of these renters are Chinese tenants in low-rent housing.

Americans do not have the habit of saving like the Chinese. They spend their money immediately. After paying their bills for the month, ordinary people have very little cash in their hands. The sudden unemployment cut off all sources of income.

But the first batch of people to get the bailout money must be the common people who used personal accounts to transfer money automatically when filing their tax returns. Generally, people who pay taxes by cheque cannot get the first batch of bailout money.

Those who encourage everyone to apply for unemployment benefits are probably white-collar workers or intellectuals who are good in English and are in the middle class. Ordinary people do not know how to apply online, and there are many people who call in to apply.

When you finally get through the phone and go to the last step, you will be automatically hung up because there are too many people online, and there are only a few people who can call in.

There are also those so-called $10,000 relief benefits for small business owners that have the same problem. Either they can't do it themselves, or the application is very troublesome.

Many people reminded that you need to be careful when picking wool, because the money you get this year will definitely be spit back when you file your tax return next year.

What's even more ridiculous is that after receiving unemployment benefits of $600 a week, some Americans think that they can earn more income at home when they are unemployed than when they go to work, and would rather be unemployed at home than return to work.

-------------------------

The impact of the epidemic on the United States is not only at the economic level, but also various social conflicts will also break out during the epidemic.

The gap between the rich and the poor, racial discrimination, unemployment, bankruptcy, and the collapse of the social order are followed by social unrest.

Because of the outbreak of the epidemic, those American people who have never been conscious of saving money or have no way to save money at all have no money not only for the bills of the current month, but also for the bills of the previous month, even the previous month and the next month and the next month. also.

Plus the stupid President X's blind dumping and incitement to national hatred.

Those Americans who have a pit in their brains have deep-rooted hatred for the rich, but they dare not do anything to the rich. When they see Chinese in the United States who can save money and make money, it will undoubtedly become their punching bag.

Many Chinese were inexplicably abused by foreigners when shopping in large shopping malls such as Target, and some even did not allow Chinese to go shopping.

Cursing a few words is a trivial matter, just keep your head down and walk away. If you are forced to rob in a corner, you can only obediently give everything you have.

The most terrifying thing is that when the epidemic hit, these people would not stock up on food, but instead stock up on guns and ammunition!

When the epidemic broke out, most of the Chinese would go to buy food and daily necessities, and those foreigners who had a little money went to buy guns, so it was once reported that the business of gun stores across the United States had skyrocketed unprecedentedly.

There was a group of people who went directly to the gun shop to loot at night when the gun shop was closed!

Many Chinese friends in the United States that Lin Zidan knew were basically equipped with guns, because news of burglary and robbery continued to spread in some neighborhoods.

Some robbers will even rush into Starbucks, restaurants, 9-9 stores, etc., just to rob the tens of hundreds of dollars at the cash register.

Therefore, even Chinese shops and Chinese restaurants that are classified as acceptable for business do not dare to open their doors easily, for fear of the epidemic and even more fear of being robbed!

Because of this epidemic, basically all Chinese in the United States are living cautiously and tremblingly.

Even the Chinese-American Andy Yang, who is running for president, said that he was "discriminated" by **** when shopping in New York in early April: someone looked at him with accusing eyes.

He shared his experience of being discriminated against in an article in the Washington Post, and at the same time posted a lot of inappropriate remarks about being "a little ashamed" of being Asian, which was immediately condemned and condemned by Chinese people all over the world.

The article also angered ethnic minorities such as Chinese, Japanese and African Americans. They criticize Yang Andy Yang's views for reasons of consequence.

Instead of going after the discriminators, they internalized the stereotype of Asians as "submissive", and they are typical "banana people" who justify their shameful behavior of "pleasing white people".

Due to the lack of anti-epidemic materials in the United States, the federal authorities have been fooling the common people not to wear masks. In fact, as soon as the epidemic broke out, all anti-epidemic materials were swept away by the public.

Masks, disinfectants, and alcohol-based hand sanitizers have almost become very scarce resources, and most of the daily necessities in the United States are very dependent on imports. More than 95% of the products you buy on Amazon or any online store are madeinchina.

When the domestic epidemic was tense, the United States did not lend a helping hand to the mainland, but out of humanitarian considerations, the Chinese government and Alibaba donated 1,000 ventilators to New York.

The Governor of New York expressed his gratitude while expressing his concern that all the protest materials were made in China.

While Lao Mei played the anti-China card, she could not get rid of the demand for Chinese-made products in her daily life. The stagnation in her heart had nowhere to vent and could only be turned into a verbal clamor.

As the Governor of New York said: "We need masks, which are made in China; we need protective clothing, which is made in China; we need protective masks, which are made in China; we need ventilators, which are made in China. In the new stage, we need testing reagents, It's still made in China."

In addition, all kinds of small household appliances, computer peripherals, mobile phone accessories, children's toys, school supplies, and almost all daily necessities that Americans rely on for survival are almost all made in China.

It can be seen how dependent the entire United States is on Chinese manufacturing!

In the first five days of April, UU reading www. uukanshu.com 1,125 people died at home or on the street in New York, an eight-fold increase from New York's 2019 fire deaths, and at least 80% of New York City virus patients on ventilators died as of April 8 .

On April 7, the U.S. death toll from the virus surpassed 13,000. The death toll in New York City exceeds 3,200, already more than the death toll from the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

At this moment, Lin Zidan suddenly received a call from Zhang Jing from China.

Alice's father, Joseph, who originally lived alone, was suddenly infected with the virus and was in urgent need of rescue. However, because his infection had not yet reached the level of needing a ventilator, the hospital asked him to isolate himself at home.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way~" Lin Zidan assured Zhang Jing and crying Alice on the phone.

"What can you do? You have no one in the hospital?" Zhang Jing couldn't help asking.

"It can only be sent to the consultation room in Manhattan. There is also a set of ICU equipment there, but I need to contact the emergency doctor in the nursing home as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will do my best!"
