What Is the Economy?

部分 netizens care about the economy in this way:

Companies can go bankrupt, but they can't lay off workers; companies can go bankrupt, but they can't require overtime. The only part of China's economy they care about is chips and so-called hard-core technology. As for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, those are too vulgar and unimportant. Of course, if their food delivery is ten minutes late, they'll curse up a storm—cursing the delivery driver harder than anyone else.
