How the US Debt Ceiling Crisis Threatens the Global Economy and What to Expect Next
The international rating agency Fitch announced on the evening of the 24th that it has put the long-term foreign currency issuer default rating of the United States on the negative watch list because partisanship in the United States has prevented the two parties in Congress from reaching an agreement on solving the debt ceiling issue. Fitch said in a statement that the bipartisan brinkmanship in the U.S. Congress over the debt ceiling and the U.S. government’s failure to effectively address medium-term fiscal challenges, resulting in rising budget deficits and mounting debt burdens, bode well for U.S. credibility. Downside risk. Fitch said that the agency still believes that the two parties…

Girls’ Underground War
When I was 8 years old, a girl bullied me. My memory of that year is very vague, time passes, and I don’t want to think about it, and the memory becomes fragmented. I was in the third grade, with braids and a lisp. In the eyes of the teachers, I was a child who was rushing and rushing. I always finished long division exercises and map quizzes in one go, and then got wrong questions that should not be wrong. But I just like being the first to finish. So did my friend Abbie. She was popular, and we weren’t particularly close. I still don’t understand why she tortured…

I am happy because of her
1 I still remember the quiet hot summer afternoon when I was 6 years old. I walked barefoot from my house on Dongwu Road to my aunt’s house on Dongqi Road. I stood on tiptoe and rang the doorbell. , My face was covered with mud and tears, and I was shocked. ”They’re fighting again.” I said in a tearful voice. In fact, I didn’t need to ask, my aunt and grandma understood eighty-nine points. She picked me up and walked towards Dongwulu. In order to cheer me up, she even bought me a lollipop. When I was eating lollipops, my aunt told me: “In the future, even if they…

Psychotherapy for young people
On the surface, hahaha, behind what others can’t see, young people have their own “bitter tears”. Petting cats and dogs, drawing and arranging flowers, watching decompression videos or offline performances, mindfulness, meditation, short-term meditation… Young people began to spend money on “healing”. Many factors cause young people to be surrounded by anxiety, ”Why can’t I work overtime all the time, have a social animal face, I emo” “I started emo in broad daylight, and the thesis topic was rejected” “Suddenly emo, I don’t want to do it anymore, So tired, feeling powerless”… On social platforms, young people “air” their emo. Emo was originally an emotional music style, but in the…

You never know how much it hurts
Different people experience pain differently under different circumstances. While injury is objective, pain levels are subjective. Pain is different from body temperature, blood pressure, and pulse, and there is no objective way to measure pain. So how do you judge how much pain someone else has? It is said that the Huichol people in Mexico believe that the pain of childbirth should be shared by men and women, so when a mother gives birth, she will hold a rope in her hand, and the other end of the rope is tied to her husband’s testicles. Every time there is pain, the mother pulls the rope hard once. In this way,…

Erdogan continues to “steer”?
On May 14 local time, Turkish President Erdogan broke the convention and appeared in the capital Ankara. According to tradition, Erdogan will vote in the general election in Istanbul, his birth city, and when the final result is known, Erdogan will fly to the capital to give a speech. But this time, the stalemate seems to make it impossible for Erdogan to wait quietly. “Helming” Turkey for 20 years, the 69-year-old “political strongman” is facing an unprecedented challenge. Three months ago, a devastating earthquake struck southeastern Turkey, killing more than 47,000 people and displacing millions across Turkey. The day after the earthquake, Erdogan publicly berated some people for their poor…

Oman: The Arabian Nights in the Land of Tranquility
Oman means “Place of Tranquility” in Arabic. Perhaps because of this, this country in “The Arabian Nights” did not fall into the quagmire of turmoil like its neighbors Yemen, Iraq and Iran, but lived a low-key, relatively stable and secular life in a corner of the Arabian Peninsula. While a large number of Chinese tourists flock to the United Arab Emirates to experience the luxury of Dubai, Oman, which is also a Gulf country, still maintains its tradition and tranquility. Such perseverance inevitably puts a veil of mystery on it. With curiosity, I embarked on a flight to Oman—— Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque interior capital muscat Muscat, the capital of…

Thought and loneliness
Chatting with friends, the topic of discussion is: “In an era when medicine is helpless, is it right to kill people with infectious diseases for the survival of the majority of people (or groups)?” This question has risen to an ethical level. It becomes: Does group consciousness mean that the few can be sacrificed for the good of the many? Humanism and utilitarianism give completely different answers to this. If a person does not have the right to take the lives of others for his own survival, a group of people does not have the same right. It is an axiom in economics that group interests are greater than individual…

May you know the joy of leisure
I have always thought that “pick up leisure” is an interesting word. When I read it silently, there is a kind of leisure and comfort that has been lost and found by accident. There is a little joy in the secret joy, which is so wonderful that it makes people overjoyed. In my opinion, picking up leisure does not require a lot of continuous time, do it without deliberation, do not insist on the most beautiful and the best, just need to find time to do it, smelling incense and ink, reading poems and flowers, drinking tea, fishing, and plucking strings Appreciating the moon allows the soul to breathe, life…

If Habits of Riches were a treatise…
When you read books and articles on “how to get rich”, do your eyes light up? Even the blood boils, the heart beats faster? I recently read a book called “The Habit of Wealth”, and I was excited again. However, after calming down, I couldn’t help but reflect, is this kind of book really useful? More or less. In my opinion, the thinner the book, the easier it is to sell. However, thinness can be short and lean, or it can be shallow and frivolous. As the sages said: “It is better to have no books than to believe in books.” If you lack critical thinking and blindly listen to…
