Crisis is everywhere

Economists always want to be as fair as possible, but there is always a big gap between reality and theory. For example, the male protagonist, logically speaking, he is in a fair system, making money by his own ability, and investing by luck. Misfortunes don’t come singly, his wife is seriously ill, he loses a lot of investment, he loses his job (not the boss’s fault), and finally the house is confiscated. Apart from the compensation from the boss, he has nothing. Then he gets angry, he thinks it is the financial industry Those people left him cornered, so he bought N guns and killed dozens of people. In the end, the brothers let the male lead go. It seems that the director and screenwriter believed that the economic crisis was caused by Wall Street.
No matter who came up with it, as a fart, you have to be prepared for a major disaster, maybe a serious illness, maybe unemployment, maybe a global depression. Sociologists say that everyone should be equal, and the equality here refers to the equality of distribution, which means that if others have it, I have to have it too. Economists also say equality, but when they say equality, they mean equality of opportunity, which means that if you have a chance to make money, I also have a chance to make money. But if you don't earn it, it's gone.
So, theoretically, from the point of view of human nature, I agree more with the economist's point of view. No matter how much we crave equality, it is undeniable that we live in a world where you will be taken away if you don't fight. The society can only guarantee that you have the right to fight, you have the opportunity to fight, but it cannot guarantee that you will get it. I therefore think this film is not an inspirational film. It is obviously unfair to attribute all personal misfortune to the injustice of the system and the greed of others. If you want to win, you have to work hard.
I always feel that this is a society with crisis at any time. This year's GDP will be 7, maybe next year will be 5, and then it will be 0. Who knows? Maybe the CPI is 3 today, 4 tomorrow, 5 the day after, who knows. The only thing we can be sure of is that a smooth life will not easily come to the poor. Since the starting point is lost, we have to work hard in the process, otherwise how can we catch up with those who have a high starting point?
This story tells us that the protagonists of tragedies are often the poor and the commoners, who are either unlucky or treated unfairly, while those with money and power are also affected by the crisis, but after the crisis, they are still in the upper class. .
It is not so easy to change one's own rank and squeeze into the upper class. So people often think that I can live a little life as a commoner, right? Many times, this is also a fantasy. You will find that you have been tired all your life. Although you say that you live a normal life, in fact, the wind is not calm, and there are always too many waves in life.
Doing things well today and facing possible crises at any time is the correct solution.
