At Christmas, the male protagonist is wearing Santa Claus clothes, carrying two big sacks full of US dollars, and putting (at least) 10,000 US dollars in cash into each mailbox... This is the ending of the 2000 American movie "Reindeer Game" .

According to the analysis of orthodox thinking, this movie focuses on the word "game". Prisoner A played (v. used as a verb) Prisoner B, Prisoner B thought he played Prisoner A’s girlfriend C, Prisoner B played the game without knowing that Prisoner A and Prisoner A’s girlfriend C played a game. But the evil criminal D, the ending is not so good but also able to suppress evil, B played A and C D, and changed the evil to the right to cause a small-scale inflation.

Be prepared for danger, everyone! Do you know why the deposit reserve ratio was raised again yesterday afternoon? This is how the motherland is prepared for danger in times of peace! With the current CPI and PPI data being good, we must repeatedly raise the deposit reserve ratio decisively, instead of directly raising interest rates when severe inflation has already occurred. The efficiency and effect of the deposit rate adjustment are weaker than that of interest rate hikes, the efficiency of controlling inflation is low, and the effect of triggering economic fluctuations is weak. Therefore, the motherland strengthens the efficiency of controlling inflation by extending the time of action, in order to achieve the goal of high efficiency and low risk.

This film was released in 2000, and it must have been made earlier. At that time, the United States had not yet broken out of an economic crisis, and it was still in the midst of an era, so the director and screenwriter did not realize what inflation was. You said you stole a few million dollars, just keep it for yourself, or save it in a bank that won’t fail like the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The Red Cross and the like... why do you send a dozen dollars from house to house? You immediately disrupted the financial status of this community. The amount of currency in circulation increased sharply, which is bound to cause small-scale inflation, and it may also cause rivalry and jealousy among neighbors due to passive uneven distribution of spoils, right? .

The real social role of the film's male protagonist is very similar to the Western social security system. This is also one of the most jealous of the people of the motherland. Because the motherland under the leadership of the party does not have the solid capital foundation of capitalism. It is said that a laid-off worker in Australia can receive more than one thousand Australian dollars a month, and the amount of money is completely enough to worry about eating and drinking. In Qingdao, it is currently around 500 RMB. The generous attitude of the West is indeed very good, but it does mean a bit of a swollen face and a fat man. With the outbreak of the economic crisis today, we can see that both the United States and everywhere are reforming the medical insurance and social insurance system, because "generous benefits" has become a heavy burden for Western countries, and it is real.

But I still sincerely hope that the social insurance and medical insurance of the motherland can be upgraded several floors. No hurry, let's take your time.

Well convict, that gift was granted.
