Chapter 2626
Over the weekend, Connor held a barbecue party and invited some people to attend.

Among them is Lynch.

This is Connor's fourth year, and the midterm elections are just a few months away, but this year's midterm elections don't have much of an electoral atmosphere.

In the past, various publicity campaigns would have been launched six months in advance. Even if Connor's current support rate is very high, some candidates would create momentum to make Connor's re-election look less secure.

This is a... game, but it is not a game between the president and the presidential candidates, but a game between politicians and voters.

Just like politicians and capitalists always tell the people that the reason why you are unhappy and don’t have much money in your pocket is because you don’t work hard enough.

If you want to live a good life, you need to recognize your laziness and work harder.

Politicians themselves must also show the attitude of "I am working hard and paying for our common ideals all the time." You cannot expect a person to do nothing and then voters will vote for him. This is unrealistic. .

The winning probability of presidential candidates who successfully "usurp the throne" in the midterm elections is less than 30.00%. It seems that there are still many, but in fact this success rate is already extremely low.

Why would most candidates spend money to campaign when they know they have little hope?
Is it just a waste of supporters’ political donations?

Of course, there are some reasons for this. After all, election funds are also an important link in the transmission of interests.

But more importantly, these politicians expressed an attitude of "I am fighting" to the people. At the same time, they also accumulated some "popularity" through this failure, so that they can win more supporters when they run for election next time. .

There is no pressure on this year's midterm election, and Connor's propaganda campaign is not very fierce. The streets are full of posters related to shelters, and Connor's posters only occupy a small part.

Neither the Progressive Party, nor the Conservative Party, nor the Socialist Party, which still has little sense of existence, is very interested in the current presidential position.

The responsibilities are too great and the benefits too few. When everyone is bound to enter the shelter, the president has too much to bear.

It was not a suitable investment, and the Conservatives put forward a presidential candidate that almost no one had heard of, a very ordinary middle-aged man with no characteristics.

The Socialist Party has elected a guy who looks good, but he has a lot of black material. There are even internal sources saying that as long as his approval rating exceeds 30.00%, they will blow themselves up to ensure that he does not become president.

This made Connor feel a... weird feeling that he couldn't describe, as if his re-election was a reward given to him by everyone.

Things that can only be obtained by robbing are what people like best, while things that can be picked up casually are not so cherished by people.

Connor's team followed standard procedures for a publicity campaign, while Connor was on vacation.

Just in time, he held a barbecue party and invited some good friends over. Everyone ate barbecue, went fishing, bragging, and talked about the future.

Many people stood up when Lynch arrived. If these people didn't care so much about Lynch five years ago, then in the past five years, Lynch has forced them to look up to him!

In fact, he didn't do much. Conspiracy has no effect at all in the face of the real trend. Instead, it can only make people look like a clown.

To deal with these people, you must show your invincible strength. Only in this way will the upper class truly accept a "self-made" big capitalist.

There is a threshold in this circle. Lynch broke this threshold with his own efforts and every miracle he created!
Connor came over and put his arm around Lynch's shoulders, happily introducing him to everyone, "If there are still people who don't know my best friend next to me, then you should really pry open his head and see what's inside. What’s that!”

"Let's welcome the Federation's Mister Miracle, Lynch!"

People applauded spontaneously. The kind smiles on these people's faces made each of them look kind and kind, and there was no trace of their hideous and ugly faces when facing the bottom of society.

Money is really a good thing. It is like a universal filter that can make everything in this world beautiful in people's eyes.

Whether it's a person, an object, or a specific thing, it's all like this.

Lynch knew many of them. After greeting everyone, shaking hands, and chatting with each other, they came to the lawn.

Underneath the lawn is the artificial lake. There are some delicious fish in the lake, all of which are artificially raised.

Whenever the wind blows from the lake, the lake surface wrinkles, and it shines like gold under the sunlight!

All of this is too beautiful to be true. If you want to enjoy these beautiful things, you must have money. This is a very realistic thing.

At least the turf Lynch is stepping on costs more than ten dollars per foot!
Its beauty, greenery, and comfort are all based on money.

There are many chairs on the lawn, as well as some small round tables and some long tables with food.

"We just talked about the management of shelters, and we have a lot of ideas and speculations, but I think Lynch is the expert on this issue."

"The prototype of the paradise plan was proposed by Lynch. He has thought about these things longer than any of us, so why don't you tell us?" Lynch did not refuse. This is how the federal society is. Do you want To make people understand that you are excellent, you have to tell them "I am excellent" and get their approval, then they will think that you are excellent.

If you don't show such characteristics and instead say humbly, "I'm average," they will really think you are a waste.

Don’t the people of the Federation know how to think?
No, this is an ideology born in the process of social development. If you don’t even dare to express it, how can it be recognized by people?
The strong never care about what the weak think of themselves, but the weak will think about it a lot.

"I have been thinking about these issues recently. Blackstone Security is expanding its recruitment. Our plan is to recruit 22 people."

"The reason why we need so many people is not that just one shelter needs them. We have signed work contracts with some shelters."

"We are responsible for the safety of these shelters, which include the five paradise shelters."

Paradise Sanctuary is the sanctuary of the Holy Peace Society. Its core founders are all members of the Holy Peace Society, and it can be said that they are all big capitalists.

This also makes the paradise's status stand out among many private refuges!
This society is a strange circle. People hope that their children can enter the best private schools, and after they finish high school, they hope that they can get an interview invitation from the Holy Peace College.

After their interview invitation is passed, I hope they can work hard to express themselves during college and become preparatory members of the Holy Peace Society.

Then after more than ten years of hard work, you will become a formal member. If you are lucky in this life, you will have the opportunity to move to the next level.

That's what most of the Federation's middle and lower upper classes thought, and now, there was an added bonus - access to the Sanctuary of the Holy Peace.

"Once the shelters begin to function, a new closed society with weak ties will be born, and each shelter will be like an independent kingdom."

"A place like Vault Six, which is my shelter, might not be disturbed by some of the problems."

"But for those shelters that are sponsored, funded, and built by a majority of people, who holds the power is a very troublesome thing."

"In such an environment, I am not optimistic about the dispersion of power among everyone. I think that in this special environment, relative centralization is the best choice."

"But no matter which option you choose, there will be some problems."

"For example, who do the troops in the shelter listen to?"

"In fact, no matter who they listen to, or everyone has a share, but in the end, they will become unified."

"It's just that in this process, many terrible things will happen, and the continuation of human civilization will also be severely damaged."

"At this time, the role of Blackstone Security is very obvious."

"Every certain period, Blackstone security personnel in all shelters will adjust their positions."

"We will do it in the summer, when the outdoor temperature is only minus [-] or [-] degrees Celsius, which can support us to travel by train."

"They will not favor anyone. They will always remain neutral. If necessary, they can even sign a contract to suppress any coup to ensure that no one will use force to change the ruling class of the sanctuary."

"In this period, the social form of the shelter is a very complex issue. It must be absolute democracy, where everyone has equal rights."

"Everyone is equal, including you and those at the bottom."

"Either, there is absolute centralization of power, with one person standing tall and everyone else crawling beneath him."

"Only in this way can we achieve true stability and talk about 'management'."

“Without a stable foundation, there is no need for management.”

Lynch's words made everyone think deeply. The first type is obviously impossible. This kind of absolute equality can only appear in artistic creation.

It cannot be real, because as long as there are people, there must be classes.

If classes are really eliminated, then these ruling classes would rather not let those people enter their refuge!

As for the second type, it makes people have some not-so-good thoughts in their minds, and some of them even have obvious changes in their expressions!

They are now social celebrities, political figures, and big capitalists, but once they enter a shelter, can they really maintain such aloof status?
not necessarily!
