Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 799 Eagle Sauce's Disaster Relief

The so-called rescue operation was pitifully slow, as if a group of overconfident ants were trying to move a mountain. By the time they dug up the rubble, the bones underneath would have rotted away.

In fact, it cannot be entirely blamed on them. The environment here is too harsh. Without special protective clothing, it is impossible to even get close. This set of lead-containing protective clothing plus oxygen equipment weighs dozens of kilograms. Even for professionally trained rescue workers, it is difficult to work for a long time. The harsh environment of the ruins requires them to stay away from heavily polluted areas before they can take off their heavy protective clothing to rest, so they can only work three to five hours a day at most.

With so few people and a short working time, the entire rescue operation seemed like child's play.

In fact, this was indeed a show. It can be said that from the very beginning, the so-called rescue operation was a joke, performed for others to see, or it was purely a performance to shut up the public.

At the same time, lack of support and funding is also an important reason. Unfortunately, the guys in Congress don’t care about this at all now, and they are going crazy.

Although the demon invasion is over, the entire New York has been affected to some extent. A large number of buildings and public facilities need to be repaired, pipes and lines need to be maintained, cars blocking the road and ubiquitous radioactive dust need to be dealt with, and the Manhattan area has been completely reduced to ruins. According to preliminary estimates, the funds required will start at at least 100 billion.

And this is just to clear the ruins; the cost of reconstruction is another matter.

As for giving up New York, don't joke. I just fried three small mushrooms and they can be used again after washing. After all, if New Yorkers can live there, why can't they?

In addition to the losses in buildings, the death toll in this disaster exceeded 100,000, with hundreds of thousands injured and missing, not to mention the millions of people who needed to be resettled after being evacuated.

This is also the reason why we cannot give up New York. If we give up, what will happen to these millions of people?

The amount of money involved in post-disaster reconstruction has reached a level that the country can hardly afford. Even a wealthy man like Tony Stark would only be able to waste all his wealth.

It can be said that once disaster relief is chosen, the United States’ military spending will have to be reduced in the next few years or even decades.

The interests involved here are so huge that anyone who dares to make such a proposal will have a wild imagination. If bullets don't work, use bombs. If bombs don't work, use missiles. In any case, you're doomed.

But this is the problem, it has to be solved, so the masters in Congress started to use their traditional skills, if they can't win the argument, they resorted to violence. Anyway, they have to let the voters see their sincerity, and they are also working hard to spit and throw shoes on the victims.

As for how to solve the problem, no one thinks about it, nor dares to think about it. It will really kill people, so it can only be left to the real decision-makers of this country to worry about it.

In fact, the problem is much more serious than this, because New York is basically shut down now, and no one knows when it will resume operations. Anyway, we have to at least wait until the radiation concentration is lowered.

So the question is, what will happen to millions of people during this period?
In a capitalist society, everyone from top to bottom talks about money. Nothing is free, not even for the victims of disasters.

Therefore, don't expect the capitalists to pay them wages during the shutdown, and the insurance companies certainly won't compensate their losses. As for zero-dollar purchases or something, they really think the armed soldiers patrolling back and forth in Hummers are just decorations.

This is an old tradition of the Eagle Sauce. The Americans who rushed to the disaster area fully armed were not there for disaster relief, but to protect the property of the capitalists and prevent the victims from rioting. As for other things, there will be bread, tents, and beds on the streets. Just wait.

Who can bear to live beyond their means? After all, the consumption habit of instant gratification has left the middle class with little savings, but they still have various loans to repay and various taxes such as property taxes to pay, and these cannot be postponed as long as they are still alive.

Not to mention refugees, even if they are dead, these people will take the last cent out of their pockets before they are sent to the crematorium. What's worse is that if they get injured or sick during this period, a medical bill can make them bankrupt in advance because it is not covered by the compensation.

You can be beaten by people and bitten by dogs, but you cannot get compensation if you are hurt by demons because it is not in the terms and conditions.

This is an excuse and also an evasion. The most important thing is that the insurance company cannot afford to pay and is unwilling to pay.

In the eyes of the top leaders, rather than letting the insurance companies lose money and go bankrupt, creating a large number of unemployed people, it is better to make the American people suffer from the beginning.

Anyway, even if these people lose their jobs, houses, and cars, they still have the last blood and flesh bank. They can eat by selling blood, and as long as they have food, they will have blood, and as long as they have blood, they can sell it again. This cycle will repeat endlessly, and they will still need rescue.

Everyone knows that this is bullshit, but everyone is pretending to be deaf and dumb. The voices from the bottom have never been heard, and even if they did, no one cares.

Therefore, in the next six months, New York will inevitably have an increase of millions of bankrupt homeless people. They include civilians, workers, elites, and soldiers. Now all that’s missing is someone to make a call.

In order to prevent this from happening, Congress finally passed a resolution to build a wall outside the heavily polluted areas that could not be cleaned up in a short period of time, and to build an isolation area outside the wall that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, and workers would give priority to hiring the unemployed.

Since they are unemployed people with nowhere else to go, the salary and benefits they are offered should naturally be as low as possible, just enough to allow them to survive.

But at this point, what is there to complain about? The problem lies in their working environment and treatment.

Although the pollution from current tactical mushrooms is not as serious as that from old-fashioned mushrooms, because they are detonated on the ground, a large amount of radiation remains in the core area of ​​the explosion. When the wind blows, radioactive dust will fly everywhere.

The concentration will decrease as dust spreads in the distance, but those working outside a heavily polluted area will naturally be the first to feel the thick radioactive dust.

Their protective equipment includes helmets, gloves and dust masks.

One can imagine the fate of these people. They received a happy education and received official propaganda, such as drinking Coke can eliminate radiation and hand sanitizer can cure diseases, and they actually believed it.

It is obvious that problems are bound to occur sooner or later, but this is also a good thing. When they do have problems, they will be placed in the prepared isolation area, which will provide a variety of powerful drugs to free the users from all pain and anxiety. As for what kind of drugs they are, don't worry about it. Anyway, they are very, very cheap and will make the users very, very happy.

After going through this set of procedures, everyone with a mustache said it was a good idea.

I have to say that Squid is really good at learning and summarizing. He changes the experiences of his ancestors and performs them again in a different place.

In this way, hidden dangers are eliminated efficiently and the number of homeless people on the streets is reduced, which can be regarded as the Eagle Sauce's unique disaster relief method.

If you can't solve the problem, you can't solve the person either.
