Of course, rich people would not be so kind to give money to the Pale Knight directly. Municipal funds are entered into the municipal government's account in the name of donations. The employees who had previously strike also returned. This is equivalent to being an elite
The agent sent by the person is in charge of the money.
But, don’t worry about who is in charge of the money, at least you have money in your account.
Moreover, can the agent who controls this money really make selfless contributions and burn themselves, not get a single point from it, and not need to improve the quality of their working environment?
Of course this is impossible. No one is a saint. People who do such things have no faith and are not here to serve the public. Since I have all the money in charge, why can't I buy it for myself with the money from the municipal government?
The best quality toilet paper? Why can’t you install two air conditioners in the office? Why can’t you hire two extra cleaners to help me clean the station?
Most of these young leaders who were placed in the municipal government by elites think so and do the same.
People from all departments are also mutually beneficial. You are responsible for selecting coffee brands, picking the most expensive one, and then giving each office the most professional coffee machine. Then I will book you a business trip hotel, and naturally I will also book the best one and go out.
A special car pick-up and drop-off was done. Everyone was comfortable and got things done.
As for how much it costs, who cares? If you don’t spend it, it won’t fall into my pocket. I can spend more and get more from it.
But there is one problem involved, that is, if everyone takes it, the atmosphere will be harmonious and pleasant. If someone doesn’t take it, it will seem a little embarrassed.
And if this person is the mayor, the situation will be even more ugly. When the Pale Knight questioned the necessity of a set of coffee equipment in his office that was more professional than in a cafe for the sixth time, Ms. Weiss was really tolerant of it.
Can't hold on anymore.
Ms. Weiss put her hands in front of her, stood at the door and looked at the Pale Knight and said, "I have been in the city government for 36 years and will be about to retire. You are the best mayor I have ever met."
"So I hope you understand that the general public in this world is not as smart as you, but not stupid. Although it is not so kind, it is not so bad that it is dehumanized."
"You have strict requirements on yourself, but if you put this requirement on us, we cannot do it. Not everyone can sacrifice so much for justice and justice like you."
“We are willing to facilitate others within our capacity and to properly help those who are worse than us to meet the realization of our self-worth. But we cannot do more, and you cannot always expect so.
”
"If you want to continue to be the best mayor, you cannot always ask us to make selfless contributions, but you must learn to accept and utilize our extremely limited kindness, petty citizens. This will allow the municipal government to operate well,
It’s good for you and the city.”
After Ms. Weis left, the Pale Knight thought a lot. He was a person who was very good at reflecting on himself and gradually realized his problems.
He is a person who takes it for granted: standing up for justice and sacrificing himself to help the poor.
This may be because he was a clown. Although he did not have the memory of a clown, he used the clown's body after all. He felt that he should be responsible for the evil things the clown had done before, so he had such a Jesus-like offering.
Sacrifice thought.
He is undoubtedly arrogant. He feels that through his firm sacrifice, he can save others and has a very strong savior complex.
From another perspective, he actually believes that people in this city cannot save themselves.
This kind of thought is actually common in people's lives. When people see the weak, they will feel that they are already so weak and pitiful. If they don't help them, they will definitely die.
But this is actually a subjective conjecture, lacking strong evidence and logical thinking.
This is a typical misunderstanding of thinking - no matter whether he will die after no one saves him, people can save him. Therefore, few people spend their energy to carefully investigate the real difficulties faced by the rescued person and his self-save.
Ability. But this is actually very important.
If the above investigation is not done, it is very likely that the helping others will not be more helpful. In severe cases, it may even do bad things with good intentions, which will lead to a tragedy between the farmer and the snake.
Pale Knight had similar ideas before. No matter what the difficulties the Gotham people are facing now, whether they have tried to save themselves or how they have saved themselves, he can save them. He has also been partially successful.
It is because of this success that he ignored the above problems even more, so that when his rescue operation stagnated, he didn't know which direction to work.
Many disciplines in this world do not have the ultimate answer. Just like mathematics does not have the formula for unity of everything, physics does not have the truth of the universe, and chemistry does not have the ether factor.
They don’t even have the ultimate problem, and none of them will declare the problem that has reached the end of the subject as long as they are completely solved.
But sociology has. The ultimate problem of sociology is how to make no poor people in the world. In summary, it is poverty alleviation.
This is an extremely complex question that covers all the knowledge of sociology and all related disciplines. The barrier to studying this question is very high, because there are too many pre-problems before this question, such as how to survive,
How to stabilize society, how to give birth to a group of people who are capable of poverty alleviation, etc.
The theme of Pale Knight is "Save", but the word is a bit too broad. After all, the elites in this city do not need to be saved by him, and the target group is basically the poor. What he is doing now can also be called
"Poverty Alleviation".
There is an essential difference between the two. If what he did was regarded as the Jesus-style "salvation" in mythology, then what he did was perfect. He stood up and gained support from people.
A certain result has been achieved, from motivation to results, and it is very consistent with the definition of the savior.
But if he looks at what he does from the perspective of "poverty alleviation", he can be said to have done a mess.
Because he did not do any social research, or even understood the details of the ultimate complex problem, he just did some traditional definitions of "poverty alleviation".
At first glance, it seems very right: increase taxes for the rich, reduce taxes for the poor, strengthen social security, build welfare facilities, provide more benefits to vulnerable groups, strengthen control of various types of enterprises, and avoid capital expansion too fast.
But if you look closely, you will find that these policies have a certain feudal meaning and are relatively backward. It is not that this is not good, but that it is not taking advantage of any advantages of modern society, or the tax-free and tax-free system is used.
Every dynasty of a major Eastern power has been done, and it has not avoided their destiny. Some people even have done it in modern times. Although Roosevelt Jr. successfully renewed his life for the United States, it was precisely because it was not advanced enough that it eventually collapsed completely.
It's right.
The main reason why these policies are good but not long-lasting is that the politicians stand at a high position and do what they think is good for the poor.
These things may indeed be good for the poor, but not for the poor in every region and every situation. They may also be good at the beginning but not in the later stages. They may be good for one poor person, but they will harm another poor person.
Even seemingly good to the poor, but in the end it is good to the rich.
This unequality caused by this execution gap is actually exploitation in another sense, allowing a group of poor people to stand up on the heads of another group of poor people and become new exploiters. In essence, it is not about poverty alleviation, but about running away from chickens.
Killing will eventually be a zero-sum game rather than a win-win situation.
Sometimes, this kind of inequality is not because there is too little material, and it cannot help this one, but because of the lack of investigation and only relying on the subjective conjectures of high-ranking people and thinking about strategies.
It is very simple to avoid this situation, that is, to fully investigate, go deep into the bottom, and adapt to local conditions. The resources required in this way may be less than the average big money and spend the least money to do the most.
The Pale Knight has been thinking about whether he really lacks understanding of the poor.
In the past, he felt that he was not from a rich man and he climbed up from the bottom. How could he not understand the poor?
But now he found that this is not the case. Rich rich people are the same, while poor poor people have their own ways of poverty.
I am poor because I am from a small town without foundation, I am thin and bullied. How come Gotham has so many local poor and strong men?
I am poor because I have never been to college and have never received higher education, and I really can't find any good job. So why are there so many homeless people who have been to college in Gotham?
Because of mental illness, I am unable to control myself and cannot live a normal life, so I am poor. But there are more people with normal mental health in Gotham. Why do they become poor because of?
Not only the poor, but also all the employees who work in the municipal government can be called middle-class. Why haven’t they become elite? Why are they still poor compared to the top-level rich people?
When the Pale Knight really began to think about these issues, he realized that what people often say is true or that the truth is derived by practicing is actually limited.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
What you can see may not be understood, what you understand may not be experienced personally, and what you have experienced may not be universal.
If there is something that makes sense, it is "no investigation, no right to speak."
Now that the city government has just resumed operations, the Pale Knight cannot leave too far. He decided to check it out from his side.
Ms. Weiss has a very good temper. When the Pale Knight had just taken over the city government, she gave him a lot of help. No matter who she belongs to, at least she is willing to remind the Pale Knight.
And the culprit who asked her to remind her... Pale Knight turned to look at the coffee machine. This thing filled the kitchen of the lounge and looked more like an industrial assembly line.
The Pale Knight wanted to break his head, but he couldn't think of the necessity of this thing to exist here. But since Ms. Weiss gave a reminder of his dissatisfaction, it meant that she thought it was necessary.
Where is it necessary?
The Pale Knight couldn't think of it, so he called his assistant and asked him to investigate in detail how this overly professional coffee machine came here and what is its state now.
The assistant came back shortly after a while.
His face was calm when he handed over the report, but when the Pale Knight saw it, he sprayed a mouthful of coffee.
He looked at the assistant in shock and said, "It's just such a coffee machine, with twelve mechanical repair workers and four cleaners?"
"Yes. This is the commercial multi-enter espresso machine produced by Synesso, their latest Victoria Retro X series with the highest temperature stability and product quality. And to make this machine produce the most perfect coffee,
It requires professional maintenance. There are not many people."
The Pale Knight accepted this statement very, very reluctantly. He turned a page of paper and said, "It's okay to keep the maintenance and cleaning staff, but what's going on with the history consultant?"
"Oh, this is to be able to provide you with professional advice when you are using this machine to entertain guests and tell them the history of Italian coffee and coffee machine brand history."
The Pale Knight opened his mouth, and now he couldn't even force it. He pointed to the line below and said, "Okay, forget about this. Then what is the supporting equipment of this professional disinfection room?"
"Mr. Mayor, such a large machine cannot be cleaned here as a whole. It must be disassembled for professional cleaning and disinfection. The disinfection room is prepared for this."
"Then forget it. But this machine was obviously sent by yesterday, and it has consumed 100,000 liters of disinfectant water..."
The assistant coughed twice and said, "Maybe there was such a coffee machine in the municipal building before, but you have never used it."
"No," said the Pale Knight, "I auctioned everything in the original municipal building. If there was such a coffee machine, I wouldn't have known?"
“Are you sure it’s everything?”
The Pale Knight was really asked. The things were shipped by Schiller, but he didn't know if they were everything?
So he had to call Schiller and said, "Hey, Schiller? Have you ever seen a coffee machine with a brand starting with S when you demolished the municipal building?"
"What?...oh, that one, I've seen it. The thing was accidentally broken when loading the car and sold it as scrap iron."
The assistant immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then his eyes turned again.
