984: Chapter 93: Beaten Repeatedly, He Can No Longer Drink Cola!
How do you accomplish sothing?
An abstract question can often have a simple answer.
According to the uncertainty principle in quantum chanics, any observation affects the outco.
From the perspective of physics thodology, the first step to accomplishing sothing is to act.
The thod doesn’t matter.
As observation corresponds to results, feedback is inevitable as long as action is taken.
Simply adjust your approach according to the feedback—ensure speed, not success.
Just as electrons and photons are influenced by fields, people living in society are subject to societal inertia.
At its core, there is a certain resonance between the two.
Most people’s understanding of sociology is one-sided.
Sociology is not so lofty and abstract theory.
Frontier researchers have pulled the discipline from its statistical abstraction into an interdisciplinary study mode encompassing physics, natural sciences, and biology.
Societal inertia is one of the achievents of contemporary sociological research, corresponding to classical chanics.
Inertial motion dictates inertial behavior.
Considering factors like personal developnt, individuals within society often lack awareness of their own inertia.
Perhaps they awaken at midnight, but they continue awakening again the next day, over and over—this is the manifestation of personal inertia.
As an experienced politician, Nanxi certainly doesn’t suffer from periodic bouts of “awakening,” but she has her own inertia.
This influences her decisions, making her behavior easily predictable.
“Mr.
Great Commander, the ssage you posted on Twitter is filled with discrimination and aggression.
As the Commander of Arica, you claim Arican citizens should leave Arica.
I have reason to believe this constitutes political violence and political terrorism!”
Cheng Daqi participated in the observation, and thus, he influenced the results.
In the real 2019, the Great Commander was already under relentless attack from the Democratic Party.
From Congress blocking the border wall proposal to the humiliation of the Russia collusion narrative, all the way to today’s farcical drama on Capitol Hill.
Thanks to BEC, this farce was amplified, escalating from dia attacks to secret Congressional inquiries.
For nothing more than a poorly worded, controversial, and nearly indefinable tweet, Nanxi spearheaded yet another attack.
(I won’t argue whether this is right or wrong.)
When soone is willing to pay, Nanxi truly works herself to the bone—very much in line with her neural wiring for chasing tens of millions of dollars.
The blond old boy shrugged, looking directly at Nanxi seated in the middle front row across a few rows of chairs, and mocked.
“Well, well, Nanxi, can you tell what political terrorism is?
If by that, you an certain Congress mbers can baselessly attack the Great Commander, wishing dead, and yet face no accountability when the truth cos out, then I suppose…”
“Bang!
Bang!”
With a stoic expression, Nanxi tapped her desk with a folder and said,
“Today’s secret hearing concerns your racist, sexist, and politically terroristic remarks on Twitter.
Let’s not bring up Russia collusion.”
“I haven’t even ntioned Russia collusion yet, but it seems you already know what you’ve done, you liar!”
Arica’s Capitol Hill is like this—at least, that’s how it is between the Great Commander and Nanxi.
Their conflict is openly antagonistic and extre.
Even when insulted to her face, Nanxi remains unbothered.
This war of words happens with so many colleagues watching.
If anyone loses their composure, they wouldn’t even need to wait for the hearing to end before all of Washington D.C.
finds out.
“Oversight and inquiry are powers granted to National Congress mbers by the Constitution.
Are you planning to and the Constitution to silence us?”
What is twisting the truth?
This is twisting the truth!
And doing it sneakily, pinning the bla directly on the other party.
From this angle, the Madam Speaker, who enthusiastically hosts champagne parties, indeed deserved the scolding.
When the facts are unfavorable, she deflects to abstract legal principles.
Whether Nanxi is right or wrong, as long as there’s room for debate, she remains invincible.
“Oh?
Now you’re speaking for everyone?
When did the people attacking represent the entire National Congress?
Or are you saying…”
And so, revolving around a debate about four Congress mbers of minority heritage within Arica, yet another “brilliant” day passed on Capitol Hill.
Naive sweethearts might think politics is about grand accomplishnts, but in reality, politics often boils down to power struggles and ruthless contention.
If you can’t win the fight, you’re left with no choice but to leave this overcrowded table!
—————–
Back at the White House, the Great Commander t his anxiously waiting second son, Eric.
Seeing the Commander return, Eric couldn’t care less about the outco of the secret hearing.
Instead, he asked urgently,
“Father, BEC has doubled!”
Unperturbed, the Great Commander took a sip of chilled cola, sat down, and asked with curiosity,
“Doubled?
How much did we make?”
Eric was dumbfounded, but knowing how busy his father was, he chalked it up to the Great Commander’s countless responsibilities.
Forgetting so things was entirely understandable, so he reminded him,
“Father, we shorted it…”
The Great Commander almost dropped his cola as it suddenly dawned on him that his plan had been to short before going long.
“What?
We shorted it?”
Without hesitating further, he quickly asked,
“How much did we lose?”
“Seventeen million dollars…”
When faced with Russia collusion accusations, the Great Commander can dismiss them with a smirk; during Capitol Hill’s aggressive hearings, the seventy-sothing Commander can spar with sharp-tongued vigor against opponents.
But now, this staggering figure of seventeen million dollars felt like an enormous burden, almost breaking his composure.
Because, quite literally, he really does own a cow.
So might wonder, does a billionaire care about seventeen million dollars?
