Chapter 227 Community canteen facilities
Lu An finished reading the materials and closed them. Seeing this, he immediately asked Ge Yu: "Comrade Lu An, do you have any additional suggestions or opinions?"
Hearing this, Lu An smiled and said: "I have no objection at all. I very much agree with this plan. It is much more complete and well thought out than I imagined."< br/>
Lu An paused and added: "As for the suggestions, there are two small suggestions. The material states that the money should be paid to the unemployed on an annual basis. Once a year is relatively less troublesome, but my personal suggestion is to pay monthly."
Married people are actually not a big problem. The key lies in the young single group.
There are quite a few young people who have low self-control and insufficient cognitive level, so they may spend all their money in a month.
With eleven months left, won’t the northwest wind blow?
Those who keep their jobs may work part-time jobs to make some money, while those who are dishonest may do something illegal, or they may waste their money on online loans.
As time goes by, the debt grows bigger and bigger. Within five years, the money received every year may not be enough to repay the interest.
Although he may still take out an online loan to receive money on a monthly basis, at least he will not lend so harshly.
But it’s the lesser of two evils.
These are all problems derived from the objective fact that the cognitive level of the entire population is uneven at the current stage. Even if the proportion of ignorant people is only 5%, multiplied by the huge base of more than 1.4 billion, that is an astronomical figure.
Most of the ignorant people actually don’t have any malicious intentions, they are even kind-hearted, and their intentions are good.
But because of his ignorance, the consequences of what he did were actually more destructive than the racking of brains of people with ulterior motives and malicious intentions.
The general improvement of cognitive level cannot be achieved in a day or two, and there is a long way to go.
The transitional period is far from reaching the level of great material abundance, which means that the money distributed is limited.
Most people do not have the self-restraint, especially young people. Basically, their trouser pockets are cleaner than their faces.
With poor self-control and insufficient cognition, if you have a little bit of greed for petty gains and get several debuffs stacked on top of each other, you will end up getting steadily cheated.
Such situations abound, too numerous to mention.
And some people are very stubborn, even extremely stubborn.
He didn’t listen to what I said, and he didn’t believe it after hearing it. If he didn’t believe it, he couldn’t come up with any evidence. Anyway, I was just thinking about what to do, or making the first move. I heard my friends say what to do.
When you have been defrauded of your money or spent impulsively, you start to waste your money.
Life is still difficult, and then some people with ulterior motives will guide you, such as pushing some articles, videos, and outputting some so-called values that they can sympathize with: There is nothing wrong with you, but it is not you who are wrong, but the world, that caused such a result.
Hence, he began to blame everything and everyone again, scolding the injustice and the darkness.
Faced with this type of giant baby group, all your hard talk is in vain. Leaving it alone will cause trouble for you. It is better to help them manage their money bags directly.
Pay a sum of money to his bank card on time every month. At least it is better to be a person who lives on moonlight than on time.
At the end, Lu An said in an orderly manner:
"The second suggestion is to support the community canteen. The funds for building the community canteen will be allocated from the robot tax."
"Put 300 yuan per month into his meal card at the community canteen. Of course, this 300 yuan cannot be said to be money paid to him, and it cannot be described like this."
"
"With the existence of this community canteen, there is still 300 yuan in the meal card. At least he can have a bite of food to ensure his survival limit and not go astray. At least it can reduce the probability of him going astray."
The community canteen is a very necessary measure.
As said before, there are many problems during the transition period. This series of problems is still derived from the uneven cognitive level of the people.
While we must be aware of the existence of these problems, we must also propose targeted solutions.
At this stage where the cognitive level of the whole population is uneven, it is like a child who has not yet fully matured mentally.
He has not yet fully grown up and is in the rebellious stage. He needs to be carefully urged and taught to help him grow and embark on the right path.
Otherwise, he will be used by people with ulterior motives and may go astray.
But every citizen is an independent individual and an adult. Even if he is ignorant, he cannot really urge education like a rebellious child. That cannot be taught.
The best way is to ensure the lower limit of the entire group by constructing a series of public supporting facilities.
Instead of directly interfering with a single individual roughly, that would be counterproductive.
As long as these things are done well, the rest will be left to the general public to grow themselves and slowly improve their knowledge within this framework.
If this generation is really unable to hold up the wall, then it can be accomplished through generational change. If this generation fails, then the next generation, and the next generation after that.
It is difficult to change an adult's cognition. In a sense, death also has a positive meaning.
In terms of cost and difficulty, it is much easier to let an adult with fixed cognition live in confusion for the rest of his life, and then allocate resources to the growth of the next generation.
One day, after several generations, the cognitive level of the whole people will inevitably improve and be much higher than that of the people in the capital-intensive world.
Next, Lu An further added some suggestions on community canteens.
First of all, the community canteen only provides lunch and dinner, and as a public financing mechanism, it cannot be for profit. The money paid on the meal card is a limited-time benefit.
If it is not used or cannot be used up, it will return to zero after three months, and new credits will be recharged regularly every month.
In the early stage, the resources are not sufficient. If they are allocated to you but are not used, then the country will take them back and put them into the national treasury for redistribution to optimize resource utilization.
The money in the meal card cannot be cashed out, and in order to prevent cash out, each meal card can only be used for a maximum of two meals per day.
If you have a big appetite, you can add rice for free, but you cannot add vegetables. You will definitely be satisfied if you are full.
If you are a big eater, use your own cash to buy another meal.
This leads to another point. Community canteens should not only be open to those who pay, but should be open to the whole society. However, people who do not have special meal cards have to pay for their own meals.
Since community canteens are not for profit, they are actually very cheap and affordable.
If it is not open to the whole society, it will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of many people. They will feel that these people still get paid even if they don’t work, and the food they eat is cheap and affordable. Everyone will get angrier the more they think about it.
So it must be open to the whole society. Whether he comes to eat or not is his business, but as long as he comes to the canteen and spends money to buy meals, he must be provided with meals.
What is certain is that after community canteens follow up, they will definitely have an impact on the catering industry.
The main impact is on self-employed small restaurants, which may cause the closure of surrounding self-employed small restaurants.
Because community canteens are not for profit, and coupled with the cost reduction brought about by the scale effect, they will be cheaper and more affordable, and individual merchants who operate fast food restaurants cannot compete.
Your fast food sells for 12 yuan a meal, and the community canteen next door sells a meal for 8 yuan, so it will definitely not be able to compete.
The people who choose to eat fast food are basically the people at the bottom, such as migrant workers. Community canteens can be 4 yuan cheaper, so they are definitely more willing to eat in community canteens.
Individual merchants operating small restaurants cannot compete and will have no choice but to go bankrupt.
If it goes bankrupt, it goes bankrupt. It doesn’t matter. If your store goes bankrupt, you are unemployed and you can get money.
Those individual merchants who open small restaurants are basically mom-and-pop shops. They most likely have children and can receive the highest-end money.
Small restaurants that can be impacted by community canteens and fail to compete should be closed down.
Either you can misalign the competition, make it more high-end, and provide better catering services to attract customers to eat in your store.
Community canteens will not completely replace various restaurants, because they are only at the bottom of the entire catering industry, and their positioning is to maintain the lower limit.
So it won’t be too luxurious and the dishes won’t be too expensive, just three dishes and one soup, that is, one meat, two vegetarian and one soup.
But people always yearn for a better life, and eating well is certainly part of a better life.
What’s more, Chinese people are generally big foodies and cannot go to the community canteen to eat every day. They always go to the next restaurant every now and then.
