In Pinduoduo, a young girl in her early twenties died suddenly on her way to work in the early morning. I got up this morning and had a look at WeChat. A lot of them were scolding capitalists for exploitation. They not only want people’s blood and sweat, but also people’s lives. But I can’t help but say that it’s wrong to blame capitalists for such a thing. A period of time before the takeaway rider’s article refresh, but also everywhere in scolding capitalists. There will be a lot of things in the future, there will be disabled, sudden death, jump from a building, from the origin of human beings to today, there is no day in this miserable world is not miserable. We do not know what kind of survival form will evolve, but we can predict that people at that time will also have their misery, but will be better than us, just like our misery than those who worked in the fields, this generation of migrant workers than the previous generation of migrant workers to feel better.
When it is sad, it is natural to cry out in pain. So it is with beasts, let alone men. But calling on the government to take care of capitalists is the worst kind of thing to do. It is like breaking a wooden shackle and replacing it with an iron one. I don’t know how much money Pinduoduo gave the girl. Some said 500,000 yuan a year, some said 800,000 yuan a year, and the most exaggerated said more than one million yuan. I don’t believe it will be so much. All in all, very high income. Ten years in any other industry wouldn’t necessarily pay that much. I also do not believe that after the girl’s sudden death, spell more will not be able to recruit, say a word without conscience, such a high annual salary put, and then the sudden death of three or five will be queued up to apply for. You can’t say that those in line are worthless, nor can you say that Pinduoduo is guilty of tempting people with high salaries. Others spell a lifetime to empty the pockets of two generations of people and then back a lifetime of debt to buy a house. In this kind of big factory single-handedly go out to fight a three or four years is enough, can not move? It’s no use asking the government to limit the work day to eight hours. As long as the performance review is put out, even if the office turns off the lights and closes at midnight, one by one will stay up late at home and the phone will be on 24 hours a day. Provisions to regulations, can only affect the table surface and the table below the boundary position. The stipulation is a little looser, the bright work overtime, the stipulation is a little tighter, the dark work overtime, but what is on the table moves to the table below just.
Some people say then why do other countries have maximum working hours and minimum wages? Why aren’t their workers risking their lives? Why can’t we just do it here? I took a basic economics class last year, and the textbook stated very bluntly that government intervention in the price of labor raises unemployment. This is certain, certain and certain. What is visible is that some people are taking longer breaks and earning more money. What is not visible is that some workers who are less able to get a job are being eliminated by human intervention. For some reason, people who hold this view are now referred to as the “Olympic team”. This is not an Austrian view, this is just common sense economics, a chapter from my economics textbook last semester. The price of labor, like that of any other commodity, is determined by the market. If the price of labor is artificially raised, unemployment will be increased. The same is true of unions in the 19th and 20th centuries, as it is today. Some students in the class asked, since we know it is not good, then why does the government still set a minimum wage? The teacher said that because politicians and their constituents had not taken economics classes, they either did not know or pretended not to know.
At present, the life of migrant workers in developed countries is much better than ours. It seems that the government stipulates that capitalists must do this, but in fact it is not. The productivity level is high, and the market price of labor has reached that level. If productivity is not so high, no matter how the government regulates it, people will still queue up to find a job, queue up to get the opportunity to be exploited and squeezed by the capitalists. If the government gets rid of these capitalist vampires, the better case is that another batch of vampires will come, the worse case is that they will stop and everyone will be poor together. The only way is for more capitalists to come out and create more jobs, so that everyone will be rich and less chained. There is a big difference in labor prices between China and foreign countries. Basically, this difference is not caused by whether the legal protection is in place or not. It is caused by the labor market being closed by national borders and the free circulation of labor. This with the previous transport impassability, orange and mango in the north and south of the price difference a big thing.
Some people may say, how can a person be compared to an orange and a mango? These are real people. Indeed, people are not commodities, but labor is commodities, is used for exchange, this is no way to do things. In the foreseeable future, the market price of domestic labor will not rise rapidly. At present, young people do not want to be 996. I think the best way is to cross the border of foreign countries and transport themselves to the market with high labor price. This is not easy, very hard, but no more than 996 hard, but the direction and method of hard work is different.
These words are not pleasant to hear, the little girl’s bones are not cold, I said such words seem very cold, no conscience. It would be easy to write a rant against capitalists, but reason would not allow me to do so. The government really likes to beat up the capitalists and is eager for more excuses. Only capitalists will meet the mountain to open the road, meet the water to build Bridges. Roads and Bridges have been built and a few are ready to go. This is the leader’s favorite thing.
Some people say that this kind of approach is equivalent to saying sarcastic words, so many people how can go out, not realistic. I don’t have that much ability, I just talk to myself, say my idea, if you are young, haven’t been stuck in a lot of things, still thinking about the future way out, then try to change the labor market is probably the highest input output choice. Believe it or not.
There are black holes eating the blood and sweat of ordinary people, but they are not capitalists. Young people work so hard because the pressure of life is really too great, a flat on the pressure of a person. How about not buying a house? Basically is not good, the future children have no place to go to school. These are the black holes of our time. Capitalists are people who build ladders in black holes, people who push people to climb up, sometimes too hard, like Butch, Leopard and Fortune Wolf. As for Pinduoduo’s “temporary worker” response, it was too unbearable. Some people say that it is not wrong to say so, the truth, I do not think so, the truth is not the round to spell a lot of their own. When a person drives a car and kills another person, the other person can make an objective analysis of the scene and determine the responsibility for the accident. As for the perpetrator, you shut up. You get down on your knees.
