. The impact of globalization on the American middle class is comprehensive: economy, health, psychology and even family.
Allen is an atypical hapless guy. He lost his good job on the bicycle company’s board of directors. The new job he found with only the remaining contacts puts himself in a dilemma of power outages and wifi: When do you sit? What can you say when any chair will collapse...wtf! Allen’s job is definitely not going to be kept. The Saudi manager’s conversation with him has already hinted that he is helpless and Allen is about to lose the contract; and his family is also collapsing, his wife is divorced, and his daughter’s tuition has not yet been paid. The old man is unemployed and yells at the Chinese guy across the Pacific; facing a hot Nordic girl, he is no longer humane, with a lipoma on his back, he is anxious every day, and anxiety attacks also occur. This is an almost unsolvable game.
In fact, the reason for all this is globalization. In Allen’s words, they taught the Chinese to make high-availability bicycles, but the Chinese wanted the price advantage to beat their brand advantage. When he went to the Saudi driver’s hometown to fight the wolves, the driver had a very interesting conversation with him: the driver asked if he wanted to build a free power, would the Americans help? Allen didn’t realize it until after a long time of raging. When the scope of his ability was limited to picking up a gun to help the driver, when the real wolf appeared, he couldn't even pull the trigger.
When Allen had an anxiety attack in the middle of the night and woke up from a nightmare, and couldn't breathe, I really realized the psychological impact of the Chinese nightmare on Lao Mei, so I had a deeper understanding of Trump's election.
