Some associations about economics

In this science fiction movie, time becomes a currency that can be traded. People who have little time gather in one time zone, and people who have a lot of time gather in another time zone. For those who only have two or three days, they don’t have time to sleep. You must go to work every day to maintain the elapsed time and the items to survive. In Xinlington District, this is a completely different world. Any measure of time spent on it is quite amazing. It takes a week to eat breakfast. From the poorest time zone across the richest time zone (in terms of the total amount of time in the time zone), the time required to pay is also staggering. It takes about one and a half years. Time is used as a currency for transactions and becomes a time zone to exploit the crowd. A tool for the crowd of time zones.
I think this is very similar to economics. Countries with strong currencies plunder the wealth of countries with inferior currencies. The tool of value exchange is a lever. China holds a large amount of US dollars and the US dollar falls, and the wealth held by China invisibly evaporates. This kind of strength is based on strong economic, political, and military advantages. Chinese women share a lot with foreigners in Europe and the United States, but it is rare to hear that Chinese women marry foreigners in African countries. Vietnamese women are willing to marry Chinese men. This environment is hidden under the premise of the country's strength. In my humble opinion, the speed and frequency of people exchanging the value of their labor has increased sharply since they were separated from the barter exchange, but at the same time it also provides an opportunity to use money as a medium to plunder wealth, but most of the poor do not have capital and cannot afford it. In that kind of financial game, it is basically impossible to invest in anything. The living principle is to be more diligent and spend less. Once the rich have completed the accumulation of capital, they are playing venture capital. They can sit back and enjoy their gains, wait for the company's stock to rise, and then cash in for profit. If you have a lot of money, as long as you are not a fool, you will basically not worry about survival.
The world has never been fair. The Bible says: Whatever has it, it must be added to him to make him richer; what is not, even what he has, will also be taken away.
Because there is a game rule of "Own it, get it". As long as you have something, the society will recognize you more. Naturally, more resources will be given back to you, and you will have more resources. To give a more vulgar example, if a student with poor study has no other specialties in the school, the school official will not give any honors, and the person who studies well won the "three good students" in the first year, a certain school Students need to take the lead in selecting outstanding students in the city. Obviously, the one with poor learning will not have any chance. The school will only give this opportunity to the student who has already won the "three good students". This is an accumulation of advantages. In this cruel world, only by maintaining strong professionalism and direction in a certain field can one gain a place in society.
