    "Are you still wetting the bed? You little idiot!" "I don't wet the bed! You nuisance!" "I don't believe it, I smell a nasty smell!" "It's not me!" "Okay!  Shut up, you two little rascals!¡± There are two children in this family. John has a sister who is slightly older than him. She is called Maggie. They go to the same school, which makes it easier for the mother to send her children to school.  .  ¡­¨Q What about dad?  Dad is working. The division of labor in this family is very interesting. Dad works two jobs. This situation was briefly explained at breakfast. Naturally, it was not said directly, but through side words.  Performance, and the mother is a stay-at-home mother. She is responsible for all housework and taking care of the two children.  This is a very typical American middle-class family twenty years ago. Really, very special and typical. Basically, this is what the American middle class is like.  "Hahaha" The audience burst into laughter, because the children's quarrels were very interesting, childlike and real.  The two children went to school, and they both went by car. At this time, the radio in the car was working.  "Today, President Obama criticized the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. He is warning all allies of the United States that such a bank is unreliable and of insufficient quality" Hey, this news  OK, as soon as this news came out, many people understood that this time should be March 2015!     Yes.  It was at that time that the United States said this to its allies.  You must not join the AIIB, join it.  I'm going to fall out with you.  Of course, we all know now that in March 20 years ago, the Yankees were slapped several times by their allies. Someone even summed it up in this sentence.  The world has been bitter and beautiful for a long time!  But this matter comes out of the radio, it is very useful. On the one hand, it saves the time and background of the subtitle introduction, and on the other hand.  That is a bit like "Forrest Gump", showing a piece of history through such small things.  Yes, twenty years.  The children go to school, the mother takes them to school and does housework, and the husband goes to work. Although they have two jobs, this family seems to be pretty good.  This day will go on like this, of course.  There is still news on TV.  "The United Kingdom joined the AIIB, which caused a domino effect. France, Germany, and Italy also joined one after another. What is even more embarrassing is Luxembourg. This small country also joined!" "Obama's economic policy is simply  It¡¯s a complete mess. This guy shouldn¡¯t persist like this when he can¡¯t dissuade his allies. We in the United States also need to show some goodwill to the AIIB. ¡°You mean, join it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a political commentary program on TV.  Several guests and the host talked together, and it was in this context.  "I'm really done with it! I'm done with it!" "Are you fucking wrong? Are you done with it or am I done with it? I have to work two jobs every day, and you only have to deal with two kids.  Okay! What else are you dissatisfied with? " " Damm! Do you know how difficult it is to take care of two children? Do you know how difficult it is to cook, wash and buy things for the whole family?  , I repeat these tasks every damn day, nothing changes, I can't stand it anymore! " "You can't stand it anymore? Who do you think you are?  You can make ten thousand dollars a month now, so why don¡¯t you take care of the children!¡± ¡°Fuc0k-Temptation! You can make ten thousand dollars a month?¡±  ! But if you take care of the children now, you will save our family ten thousand dollars. Don¡¯t you know how? We can pay a lot less taxes because we are married. If you don¡¯t take care of the children, we will have to hire a nanny.  , the current price of a nanny is 3,000 US dollars, which we both saw at the beginning, plus other things like laundry and cooking, if we hire someone for these things, how much do you think we will spend per month?  "Ten thousand dollars!"  Damn it! I¡¯m not going to see a damn doctor!¡± A vivid picture of a middle-class American family quarreling was displayed.In front of an audience, it was very, very vivid and very real. Moreover, this happened twenty years ago. Many people didn¡¯t know about it, even the Chinese at the time. So, this matter is really  Very fresh.  Although the plot of this quarrel was written by Wu Xiang, it is definitely based on the real situation of American families, and it is also a very common real situation!  It is very common. We can often see a full-time housewife with several children on the streets of the United States. This is the American middle class, really.  And the reason why there are full-time housewives is because of this almost ten thousand dollars.  ¡°If this mother no longer takes care of her children and she goes out to work, the expense to the family will be no less than US$10,000.  Many states in the United States encourage marriage, because once you get married, you can have offspring. So there is a situation where the tax burden on a single person is much higher than that on a person with a family.  This thing sounds weird. If I don¡¯t get married, I will still be discriminated against, but that¡¯s how it is in the United States.  So, the father of this family has gone out to work, and the mother has gone out to work again. Doesn¡¯t that mean that the exempted tax burden has returned?  Because both people have to pay taxes.  Yes, this is what they calculated, and the key point is that labor in the United States is very expensive, and the salary for taking care of children is very high, $3,000 a month is nothing.  How expensive is labor in the United States? Let me give you a small example.  If we go to Walmart in the United States, we will find out.  Those simple tools for home decoration, small hardware.  Anyway, these kinds of things are very cheap.  Really, it¡¯s cheaper than our country of origin, China. Why is this?  It¡¯s very simple, because the sales volume is good, these things are selling well, and Americans all repair or decorate their own houses.  So is this because Americans are hard-working and ingenious?  Pull it!  In fact, there is only one reason, that is, it costs too much to hire others.  Let's put it this way, a plumber will repair a heating pot, stove, etc. for you, because it is difficult to do, and you usually can't figure it out, so it doesn't cost you money to replace the parts, but you pay the labor fee, which is almost a thousand at a time.  Dollar!  Is it that exaggerated?  It¡¯s still such an exaggeration!  Therefore, in fact, Americans repair their own houses by themselves, which is purely forced.  Labor is so expensive that I don¡¯t dare to hire anyone!  So, this plot, from the surface.  It was a couple quarreling over financial issues, but in fact, it reflected many social problems in the United States at that time.  This guy Wu Xiang can be said to be.  It's so dark Pili!  Bang!  Soon, the quarrel was small at first.  But it gradually escalated, and all those unfortunate families were actually the same.  This is what a great writer said.     divorce!  This divorce has already been put on the agenda, and this matter is about to start a lot of grinding.  "Why are you so depressed recently?" "You need to take care of it!" "Your tone is really bad. Are your parents fighting at home?" "How do you know?" "Same in my family." "Huh?"  "Hey hey hey, they play with theirs, we play with ours." "Oh" "My name is Katie!" "My name is John!" Our hero John Curtis is also good-looking, he is a little boy  Handsome guy, so there was a little goblin rushing towards him, and now there was a little girl with big pigtails chatting with him.  Sincerely, children at this age are still very good, very cute, and very lovable.  Divorce requires a lawsuit, which involves many issues, so it is actually more complicated and lengthy. When the day comes, this "I am here to announce that my deputy and I have won the lawsuit.  The 2016 U.S. presidential election! " "Oh oh oh!" Ribbons, champagne, and even salutes, as well as crazy crowds, a blond middle-aged white man announced on TV that he had won the election, which also told everyone  Audience, our little hero has passed a year of his life and it is now 2016.  Who is the winner of the 2016 US election?  This election is very interesting. Basically, the Democratic Party is relatively united and they are united.  If you know something about the U.S. election, you will know that such a situation is relatively rare, because the Democratic PartyThe two sides are notoriously disunified, but this time it's different.  Why are you so united?  In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, they are now at a relative disadvantage.  Really, we can no longer be at a disadvantage. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate have been taken by the Republicans, and most of the governors have been lost. If the Democratic Party does not unite, it will be a dead end.  But despite this, the Democratic Party did not escape the fate of defeat, and the results of this election were quite unexpected.  The person who had the highest voice was actually Bush III, the younger brother of George W. Bush. He was very popular when he was governor, but he didn't expect that he actually gave it to one person in the party's election, and that was Rand Paul.  !  Rand Paul is a very interesting person. He is really a dark horse in politics, very dark, very dark.  And in the end, he won the 2016 presidential election and became the president of the United States!  So shouldn¡¯t this person win the final presidential election?  Is it another manifestation of the dark horse?  Regarding this matter, Wu Xiang has also analyzed that Rand Paul is really not a dark horse. In fact, if the analysis is comprehensive enough, then we can even predict that this guy will definitely be elected President of the United States!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
