Chapter 2329: Chapter 2169: Joy Headache. Depressed. Annoyed. When something is beneficial to the U.S. authorities, it’s easy to push forward, but when it’s a proposal that harms the interests of the authorities, the price is much higher. Up and down. Inside and out. The operation is complex and consequences must be considered. Once action is taken, it could result in a complete fallout with the Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group, with unpredictable consequences. If. The Myanmar authorities prohibit U.S. citizens from seeking treatment, one can imagine the extent of public protests, as Myanmar is not a pushover. Unless you fight. Otherwise. With conventional means, they also have countermeasures, never underestimate the madness of people on the brink of death, public opinion pressure will be enormous. ... Moreover. The consortiums have been quite puzzled lately. - Support. - Oppose. - Neutral. Three attitudes exist among the forces steering the United States, which was almost unimaginable before, as in the past they adopted clear stances towards each country. Attitudes were explicit. And their actions were swift and decisive. However. On the Myanmar issue, there’s such a huge divide. This implies that any side trying to gain overwhelming advantage in implementing some measures. Will find it very difficult. Congress. Both parties. Will face significant resistance when pharmaceutical giants calm down. Scratching heads. Swearing. Feeling utterly terrible. However. Life must go on, otherwise, they’ll be left to face the brutal northwest wind, and it’s very cold in the United States this winter. ... Europe. Similarly, Curses abound. Drugs. Are one of the few commodities in the world where consumers have no choice, for the sake of survival, they can only grit their teeth no matter the cost, it’s very unique. Last year. For Alzheimer’s, the U.S. spent nearly two hundred billion dollars, and Europe? Not much less than that, globally? A staggering amount. Therefore. They are losing not just the European market, but the world market, it’s as if this drug’s appearance is cutting off their X. This hatred. This enmity. Unending and interminable. "So infuriating, and they didn’t even give a word of notice." "Exactly." "Bastard." "..." If they had given notice, We could have negotiated, at worst paid a price, like a hundred billion euros a year to the Myanmar Bank Group, or allowing the Transcription Fluid into the European market. We could have talked about it. Now. They just released it, catching them off guard. After cursing, They are also pondering countermeasures. Sanctions? Uh! Seems like Europe doesn’t have much to sanction them with, typical sanctions involve financial and economic areas, restricting goods import-export, freezing overseas assets, etc. As for the former. They don’t seem to buy much European goods. As for the latter. They don’t seem to hold much euro either, Myanmar has always maintained a foreign exchange reserve size of 100 billion dollars, the rest has been spent. - Trade. - Loans. - Property investment. These three items consume the most. Yes. Some parts can be frozen. However. What’s the reason? To freeze a country’s assets, or impose sanctions, there are only so many reasons, like being anti-Western, supporting terrorism, possessing nuclear weapons, and other major events. Otherwise. It doesn’t hold water. Helpless. They can only turn to the United States, hoping some action will be taken, or else, they’ll also end up facing the brutal northern wind, which is very cold in this snowy weather. ... Globally. All countries. Were almost jubilant at the emergence of a special drug treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, except for a few companies and their employees, most people are consumers. Consumption. Means spending money. Originally, This was a bottomless pit, never filled, bringing immense pain to a family, now it can be completely cured, regaining consciousness. Of course, they’re happy. Internet. Media. Are calling for the drug to be introduced as soon as possible in their country. Risk? Ha! Could it be worse than now? Like cancer. I might die tomorrow. You talk to me about risk, damn you, when the Transcription Fluid was first made public, those who shouted about caution and risk were cursed at like dogs. Now. The same goes for Alzheimer’s. In a short year. In three long years. I will forget everything, not even recognize my own children, my consciousness will blur, unable to take care of myself, and you talk to me about risk? Do you think my mouth can’t curse? Pfft! This isn’t a cold, this is a life and death matter, living like that is worse than death, they would prefer to die with dignity than live like that. ... The next day. In the morning. On the streets of Europe. "Protest!" "Oppose!" "..." Some people began to protest. For what? Of course, it’s to question the safety of the drug. "Detestable!" "These people, do they have any bottom line left?" "Xie Te." "They’ve sold their hearts to the devil." "..." Many people wish they could smash these people, as they have no morality or stance, this isn’t an isolated case, it was the same when the operating room was introduced. Touching interests. Is like touching a nerve. A large number of European surgeons took to the streets to oppose the introduction of the operating room, as it would reduce their income and social status. In short. Extremely dissatisfied. About this. They were almost cursed to death, Europe’s medical technology is good, but the efficiency is terrible, a surgery might take months or even a year to schedule. Damn! Do you think our lives are worth nothing? Now. Once again, a ’stakeholders’ protest occurs, everyone understands, after all, without patients, these care institutions would lose significant funding. No money. Many would have to find new jobs. But. No sympathy. This isn’t like manufacturing industrial goods, protesting against automation replacing workers, that deserves sympathy, but human life is above money. Life. Should not be weighed on a scale. This. Is the mainstream value in the West. ... Shanghai Stock Market. In the park. Watching some chaos, Tang Qing sighed slightly, if it was other machines replacing people, with people protesting on the streets, he might still support them a little. Because. Employment. Is the basic survival foundation for a country’s people, having no job is truly a major issue, from a certain perspective, he’s against high levels of Mechanization. General companies. Seek money. Seek profits. However. If planning for the livelihood of tens, hundreds of millions, or even more people, there’s only one consideration---employment, and a fundamental logic emerges. ---Everyone having food to eat is above everything. If. A company replaces a large number of workers with machines, employing three hundred, paying a hundred billion in taxes annually. The latter. A company, labor-intensive, employs thirty thousand, pays zero in taxes annually. Tang Qing tends to favor the latter because from the highest point, money is secondary. But. Life is different. We cannot say that just because my drug can cure people, but results in tens or hundreds of thousands losing jobs, we should not use this drug, that kind of calculation is too terrifying. Humans. Really become a... factor of production. Using human suffering, To satisfy some people’s employment, is absolutely the most terrifying logic, therefore, concerning the dependency on Alzheimer’s for livelihood in the related industries. With possibly one to two hundred thousand global job positions reduced. Tang Qing has no regrets at all. Life. Cannot be measured like this.
