The Other Side of United States' Decline: Vance's Perspective
Hey guys! Today we are going to talk about an interesting topic - Vance's speech. This guy has his own unique views on the current situation in United States. He feels that the reason why United States is going downhill is not because of others, but in his own backyard.
The standard of living in the Rust Belt
Do you know? In the so-called "Rust Belt" of the United States, people's lives are not as bad as we think. For example, Vance's mom earns more than $100,000 a year. This is equivalent to earning 660,000 yuan a year in China! And it's just an ordinary redneck.
The truth behind the high income
But here's the problem, with so much money, some people don't do their jobs. Vance's mom likes to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, and change boyfriends often. This may seem a little strange to us, right?
Vance's maternal grandmother
Let's talk about Vance's maternal grandmother, who is a legend. She became pregnant at the age of 13 and became a mother at the age of 14, and had a miscarriage almost every year after that. She is also very troublesome and wants to fight with people at every turn. However, this old lady is actually alive and well!
The daily life of low-level workers
Vance also mentioned a lad who got a job answering the phone. It stands to reason that this should be an easy job, right? But this guy works 8 hours a day, and he can spend 2 hours to go to the toilet! Isn't it an exaggeration to complain about being tired from work when you answer the phone?
The real problem
Vance argues that the problem with United States is not that Chinese have taken away their jobs, but that United States people themselves are too lazy. Even if they are given the opportunity, they don't know how to cherish it. He also said that even though he came out of the rust belt, he really didn't like those people. After all, their way of life disappointed him.
Politics and reality
However, Vance is a vice president-level bigwig, after all, and he knows where his roots are. Even if he doesn't look down on those people in his heart, he has to win their support, because the votes in their hands are important. So, sometimes the reality is just that complicated.
