Chapter 129 Political Correctness

"There is no need to flock here. This university does not look at ability but family. Although it is a bit straightforward, it is the truth. From the beginning, it was not to serve the public. To consolidate our status, the choice is also to serve us.

"People." Sheffield shook his head. There are plenty of so-called talents. He is sure that there are more so-called talents in the United States than rich people. Things are rare and valuable. Choose talents or rich people. Is there any need to ask?

As for talent, it is far less important than public opinion. The reason why society always talks about talent is simply because society needs some positive energy. Tesla is not considered a talent. If Sheffield hadn't helped him,

Tesla is destined to be in poverty in his later years. This is the result of not cooperating with capital.

What Sheffield once used to persuade Tesla was that compared with Edison, he lacked the support of Morgan. He is a talent, and Edison is not a loser. Since both parties are talented, it depends on who the capital chooses. Generally speaking,

When investing money, people with higher qualifications and more willingness to cooperate will be selected.

It has to be said that under the influence of the United States, Sheffield has long had no concept of equality for all. Only when he thinks of specific cases can he think of equality for all. Even if he thinks of it, the ultimate goal is to dismantle this kind of equality.

The soil of thought, don’t even think about it!

"This university cannot be named after my surname. The student component is too obvious." Sheffield cannot use the naming method of many universities in this era and name it after the surname of its main sponsor.

If a university that caters specifically to wealthy families is named after his surname, the goal would be too big. It would be better to name it with a neutral word. After thinking for a long time, Sheffield said, "Let's call it Alliance University. The alliance itself means unity."

,and……"

"What a name, Thirteen Southern States Alliance!" Laura said with bright eyes, "This makes more sense!"

"Even if it's really to commemorate the Confederate States of America, we can't blatantly say it out." Sheffield said, dumbfounded, "We are still planning this secretly!" He really didn't appreciate the Yankee's frankness.

It's almost like saying to the current emperor that I want revolution.

Sheffield himself can make the decision when it comes to preparing to establish a university. In fact, in addition to the farming and animal husbandry business at home, he can now take part in any industry, and can also make decisions and invest. The autonomy given by Lafayette is still

Quite high, as with Standard Oil, the old Rockefeller has become less and less present in the company.

Every era has its own political correctness. In the United States at the end of the 19th century, black people were certainly not a problem, but there were still some things that could not be said. Since the Republican Party failed to promote hatred in the election and President Cleveland came to power, they knew that promoting hatred was not a problem.

If it works again, the Republican Party will no longer continue to make a fuss about the Civil War. After all, decades have passed.

After several days of verbal sparring with Tesla in the media, Edison, who was already the loser in the current war, suddenly pointed out to the media that in fact the voltage standard had already been defaulted, and Tesla went to Texas

If the states start anew and establish a different set of default standards, it is likely to lead to a trend of secession in the United States, and we should be vigilant.

If the North-South issue had been raised twenty years ago, it would have really made people nervous. After all, in the years just after the Civil War, the Yankees were really afraid that the plantation owners would come back and counterattack. Of course, they had indeed counterattacked, otherwise

How did the Democrats take back control of the Southern states?

But this kind of speech is very inappropriate now. If it were useful to promote hatred, President Cleveland would not have come to power. At least the citizens of the northern states have become immune to this kind of speech. Now it is not Republicans who are promoting hatred, but a certain person.

I'm curious whether southern citizens still care about the arsonists about the Civil War.

At this time, the arsonist was still inspecting the factory with a group of Hans. After all, many machines were shipped from Germany.

"Edison said? Different standards may cause the separation trend of the United States?" Sheffield stood there and listened to John Connor's explanation of the causes and consequences. He chuckled inexplicably and said in a low voice, "I bribed Edison's friends to give him

He came up with this idea and asked him to bring the topic to the North-South issue."

"Master, why?" John Connor still prefers murder and arson. He is not very clear about this kind of underhanded tactics. Who knows why his boss would do this?

"Why? Because I want the Dixie people in the south to share the same hatred, but I can't say this myself. After all, I am a patriotic businessman, and I am also preparing to organize a team to represent the United States in the Olympics." Sheffield said dryly, "So

There's nothing better than a gay Yankee to promote hatred, but damn, the Republican Party has stopped doing it since they realized that promoting hatred is useless for elections, which really bothers me!"

Furthermore, the Democratic president is now in power, and the Republican Party is unwilling to accept the North-South issue. This made Sheffield, who was waiting for the Republican Party's reaction, think about it for a long time, and finally decided, oh! Are you starting to play political correctness?

It is estimated that the civil war will never be mentioned again in the future, so since it is politically correct, once someone breaks the rule, they will definitely be criticized verbally and writtenly, and they cannot speak out, so let the opposite party speak out.

The United States does not have a standard voltage, but the early northern states used Edison's voltage standard. This doesn't mean anything. If it doesn't exist, it means nothing! Under normal circumstances, no one can prevent Sheffield from using another set of standards.

Patting John Connor on the shoulder, Sheffield said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, crying children will get candy. Someone will talk to us!"

Who will speak for the citizens of the South? Yes! That is the Republicans in the South. There was an economic depression during President Cleveland's term. The Republican Party believed that it could seize this and have a good chance of winning the next president. Since the chance of winning is high, it must

Maintaining this kind of stability has always been the case at home and abroad in ancient and modern times.

Now that an inventor has emerged and insists on linking scientific issues to regional issues, it is tantamount to intensifying conflicts. This is unacceptable to the Republican Party who wants to maintain stability. Especially the Republicans in the South.

Soon, Wilkins, the Republican leader of Texas, was the first to jump out and denounce Edison. In the technical dispute between Edison and Tesla, Edison used geographical attacks to achieve his ulterior secrets. In Texas,

In the Texas House of Representatives, Wilkins vowed in front of members of both parties, "In the few years I have been in Texas, I have never found any secession trend. It is very shameful to provoke conflicts through attacks.
