Chapter 99 The Pursuit of Eating

In a country like the Baylor Commonwealth, people always laugh with half-joking, half-helpless tone, taxation and death are things that no one can avoid.

In fact, in addition to taxes and death, there is another thing that people cannot avoid, regardless of life, old age, sickness and death, and that is political stance.

There are three major parties in the Baylor Federation, which is also a requirement of the Baylor Federation Charter. At any time, there must be three political parties in the Baylor Federation competing for the power to govern.

The Federal Progressive Party, the Federal Conservative Party, and the Federal Socialist Party, these three political factions, in a seemingly loose and liberal political environment, are actually sometimes very aggressive.

Even when in prison, the court will ask people to fill out a questionnaire, which includes the prisoner's political stance, and then arrange the prison and cell to serve the sentence according to the questionnaire.

His Excellency the Mayor is very satisfied with Lynch's answers, reactions, and thoughts. Political stance is his last question. If Lynch has a different political stance than his own, he will downplay Lynch's role in it. Even some local capitalists will be interviewed, let them find a way to replace Lynch, and then drive Lynch to other places.

It is simply impossible for a capitalist from another party to grow and develop on the turf of the Progressive Party, unless Your Excellency the Mayor decides to give up his future political life or change camps to help Lynch rise for free.

Politicians and capitalists always complement each other. Capitalists provide politicians with enough political donations, provide them with jobs, and provide more content related to urban construction.

In the same way, politicians will also feed back what the capitalists want, the inclination of policies, and some development plans tailored around the capitalists.

This requires both parties to be able to trust each other and be intimate in some cooperation. People cannot trust "outsiders", they only trust "own people".

What kind of person is "one's own person"?
Obviously, those who share the same political stance and are united for the same goal are their own.

Fortunately, the answer Lynch gave him made him very satisfied, and he didn't mind introducing Lynch into the Progressive Party and letting the power of capital invade the party. This is not a scandal in the Baylor Federation. There are capitalists and even capitalists behind any well-known politician. is the support of the consortium.

Without the support of these people, even the most amazing politicians can't do anything in this amazing land!

Of course, Bailer's political environment is still very loose, at least on the surface. There has never been political persecution against civilians. People can say that they are members of the Progressive Party in the morning, and they can change their positions to support the Conservative Party in the afternoon. , no one would call them, at most some ordinary people would call them shameless.

Such an environment is indeed very loose. It does not require any substantive application, does not require a long review and approval, only requires one sentence and one sentence of approval, and the whole process is basically completed.

However, after breaking away from the bottom of the society, in the middle and upper classes of society, the political environment will become relatively strict. For people like capitalists and politicians, it is not easy to change their positions. It's easy to cause some trouble.

There are other, more complicated cases here, but that's not relevant now.

Lynch had checked some information before going to the banquet and had some knowledge of the Progressive Party. What he said just now was not entirely flattering to cater to His Excellency the Mayor.

In his eyes, the Progressive Party is indeed much better than the Conservative Party, which is currently in power. The Conservative Party's political platform is stagnant, which is why isolationism has prevailed in these years.

From a certain point of view, the Bayer Federation did not participate more in international disputes and wars. It closed its doors and worked hard to develop technology and industry. It seems that the Bayer Federation has made great progress in some aspects.

However, this also created a hidden danger for the Baylor Federation.

Maybe people today have not realized that with the development of technology, the concept of Blue Star will change from "planet" to "village".

It takes about a month and a half to go to the farthest Zarisku United Kingdom from the Baylor Federation. There are parts by land and parts by sea. People will not be interested in such a distant country, nor do they believe in this distant country. Can affect the Baylor Federation.

However, when planes or other faster moving methods appear in the future, this will greatly shorten people's perception of distance. They may depart in the morning and arrive in the United Kingdom of Zarisku in the afternoon or the next day.

Today's rejection of the outside world will inevitably lead to the isolation of the federation from the outside world in the future. When other countries begin to develop rapidly through exchanges, the federation will gradually fall behind and eventually be eliminated.

While the Conservative Party is still singing the hymn of isolationism, the Baylor Federation has actually had some problems, and if these problems cannot be solved in a short period of time, they will inevitably affect the future for a long time.

Compared with the Conservative Party, the Progressive Party's political program and their ideas are obviously more in line with the trend of world development and Lynch's needs for the future.

Integration into the world, this is the most correct choice!

He talked about some of his own views on dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party, which resonated well with His Excellency the Mayor.

Sometimes you don't need to praise a person, just criticize his opponent, you can get the person's appreciation, and this kind of appreciation can satisfy him more than flat praise.

"Your opinion is very advanced..." The smile on the mayor's face was always there. He paused when he said this, the door of the room opened, and Ferrara quickly observed the expressions of the two. Then tell them that lunch is ready.

The happy atmosphere between the two made Ferrara relieved. Lynch was a guy who looked tender and sometimes felt a little shy, but was actually very assertive and tough. He was afraid of this guy. I broke up with the mayor, but now it seems that the two get along well.

"Then let's fill our stomachs first?" His Excellency the Mayor's slightly negotiating tone and the smile on his face made Ferrara even more shocked. The superiors will not show any preference, but they It will show through the details.

This kind of consulting tone does not often happen in the working life of His Excellency the Mayor, and Ferrar increasingly feels that Lynch is a magical boy.

Lynch stood up and tidied up his clothes, "Of course, Your Excellency!"

The two walked into the dining room. There were only two seats on the table and two sets of tableware on the table. The place where Ferrara dined was not here, although he was the mayor's personal attendant.

Originally, according to the plan, Ferrara should have left to eat at this time. There are special waiters here, but he took the waiter job and wanted to hear how Lynch moved His Excellency the Mayor.

After the two sat down, the mayor glanced at Ferrara, who was opening a drink, and then withdrew his gaze. He felt that Ferrara was very sensible, knew that some words were not suitable for others to listen to, and was a reliable person.

Today's lunch is a combination of steak and fish steak. The base material used is T-bone steak. One food can taste three different styles of food, and has more flavor changes. This is the happiness of the rich .

While poor people are still pursuing how to fill their stomachs, they have begun to pursue more changes in taste, more distinct textures, and the aftertaste that finally stays in the mouth.

The poor eat is the real meal, just to fill the stomach.

The rich eat for enjoyment, and putting food into the stomach is just a process that cannot be omitted.
